The Olympic format is obviously better (the 2006 format especially). I think the team sprint would also be a very good adition with a knockout bracket. The mass start, well, bleh. They should make it twice as long and remove the sprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it a marathon (at least 100 laps) and then we'll start talking about how serious this is.

And exactly, current mass start sucks. Make it a marathon (at least 100 laps) and then we'll start talking about how serious this is. I'd actually like to see both the team sprint and the team pursuit, since there isn't much overlap between athletes (an ideal team sprint team seems to be two 500m specialists plus a 1000m specialist, team pursuit is middle to long distance skaters). But then again, I'm a big fan of the track cycling team pursuit and team sprint so it figures I'd like the winter version. Right now the team sprint is kind of a joke but I think if it gets added to the world and the Olympics (...which I feel has to be the plan given how hard the ISU is pushing it) it's going to get taken very seriously very quickly.
