Looks like that comentator is very interesting to listen. Eurosport player. Though that's actually OBS commentator so he can probably be found on some other streams too. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoy videos from London,commentators are from BBC and they are sometimes interesting as a competition itself. Those OBS are usualy boring.

We will see , but some people said the same about women's 1000 and 1500 and Netherlands won at the end , I find it kind of interesting if they managed to do this , maybe it'll be the 1st time in history that a country totally dominates an Olympic sport provides more than 5 gold medals , maybe we will see Netherlands tops the medals table at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even count Ter Mors out completely in this insane shape (and if Kodaira and to a lesser extent Lee have a bad day of course). But yeah, it's highly unlikely. In the team pursuit I'd say the Netherlands might not be the favourite, but they're certainly a lot closer to Japan than one would have expected a week ago. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Men's 500m is similarly unpredictable. Also Japan is probably the favorite in women's team pursuit, as they broke WR by about 5 seconds this season. However Dutch were more dominant in women's events here so I guess another Dutch gold should be more likely scenario...

dcro 10,182 Posted February 14, 2018 #480 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Also Sablikova might be the favorite in the 5000m, but I doubt it. Visser was faster than gold medalist Achtereekte in Kolomna, while Annouk was even faster than her. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
