Kirkpatrick 144 Posted February 19, 2018 #662 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hello. Can anyone tell me who might be the favourites for the men's 500m, who to look out for today? Some interesting match-ups? I did hear about Kodaira on the women's side, but nothing for the lads. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Favorites... Here we go... Boisvert-Lacroix, Poutala, Verbij, Lorentzen, Mulder, Ihle, Cha, Junio, Dubreiul, Smeekens, Koskela, Japanese. Pretty much all of them could win. Maybe I missed someone, @heywoodu should know. heywoodu, Kirkpatrick and intoronto 2 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkpatrick 144 Posted February 19, 2018 #664 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Cheers! There's no qualifications to get to know some of them, big minus. It's such a short race as well. Yesterday I wondered if they'll go second and third time, but no, it's over! (haven't been following this sport before) But really, thanks to finding this excellent forum, I'll be ready for next games, and summer ones as well!

There used to be two races, with all athletes racing in both lanes and the total time counting. But it has been changed, as IOC likes to push their "let's make everything extra simple" nonsense.

heywoodu 13,557 Posted February 19, 2018 Author #666 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This kind of says it all, there's really a ton of athletes with at least a somewhat realistic medal chance. 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!

dcro 10,179 Posted February 19, 2018 #668 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've just about had enough of this OBS commentator who calls every speed skater with multiple Olympic medals "Great Champion", including Pechstein...
