The2007World Sprint Speed Skating Championshipswere held inVikingskipet,Hamar,on 20–21 January 2007. They were the 36th World Championships, and it was the third time the Championships were held in Hamar. Several of the world's top skaters, including the top two from the 2006 men's and women's standings, did not take part in the competition, whileLee Kang-seok(men),Lee Sang-hwaandWang Beixing(women), all among the top three in the 500 meter World Cup rankings, did not take part as they are competing in other colliding tournaments.
Three-timeworld allround championAnni Friesingerentered for the second time, after winning silver in2004,and won gold by more than onesamalogpoint, the greatest margin of victory sinceMonique Garbrecht-Enfeldt's last title in2003.She thus became the fourth woman to become world champion in both allround and sprint.
Conversely, the men's competition was the closest sinceBae Ki-taewon South Korea's first title, in1990.The men's title went to a Korean for the third time in the tournament's history. Finland'sPekka Koskelaled the tournament until two laps remained of the 1000 metres, but despite skating a better last lap than Lee he finished 0.065 points behind the Korean.
