Prices were reset after World Tour 1, and transfers close when World Tour 2 in Montréal starts on 30 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. Three skaters dropped from ◆18M to ◆14M, Minjeong Choi rose to ◆25M, and at least four skaters in the pool will not race, or may not. One of them, Kim Boutin, is retired but still costs ◆10M.

What Changed After Vancouver

Scoring for World Tour 1 finished on 27 October 2026, and that pass repriced the market. 41 skaters changed price compared with our 6 October snapshot, and no other competition was scored in between. These are the notable moves.

Skater	Before	Now
Minjeong CHOI (KOR)	◆22M	◆25M
Furkan AKAR (TUR)	◆7M	◆10M
Maxime LAOUN (CAN)	◆7M	◆10M
Teun BOER (NED)	◆7M	◆10M
Li GONG (CHN)	◆7M	◆10M
Gloria IORIATTI (ITA)	◆5M	◆7M
Michal NIEWINSKI (POL)	◆5M	◆7M
Seo Chan BAE (KOR)	◆3M	◆5M
Corinne STODDARD (USA)	◆25M	◆22M
Pietro SIGHEL (ITA)	◆18M	◆14M
Long SUN (CHN)	◆18M	◆14M
Shaoang LIU (CHN)	◆18M	◆14M
Stijn DESMET (BEL)	◆14M	◆10M
Mirei NAKASHIMA (JPN)	◆7M	◆5M

Choi won the women's 1000m, Akar took Türkiye's first World Tour medal with a men's 500m bronze, and Ioriatti took 1000m bronze. Jens van 't Wout, Xandra Velzeboer, Gilli Kim, William Dandjinou and Courtney Sarault remain at ◆25M.

Who Will Not Race Montréal, or May Not

Michelle Velzeboer (NED, ◆14M). A small fibula fracture from a fall in the 1000m quarterfinal on 24 October. The Dutch are not calling anyone up and will race with five women.
William Dandjinou (CAN, ◆25M). Not on Canada's 12-skater team for Vancouver and Montréal, which Speed Skating Canada named on 13 October. He was reported on 7 October to be back for Seoul on 20 to 22 November.
Corinne Stoddard (USA, ◆22M). Taking a break from short track, as we reported on 29 September. She is still priced at ◆22M.
Kim Boutin (CAN, ◆10M). The ISU listed her among the skaters retiring after 2025/26 on 24 April 2026, and she is not on Canada's team. She is still in the pool and can be bought.
Arianna Fontana and Pietro Sighel (ITA, ◆14M each). Neither was among the ten Italians named for Vancouver on 20 October. No reason was given, and the Montréal list is not out yet.
