She has come a long way for once a mass start specialist...

She's also become more known among non-sports fans this year, due to a documentary about her family and mostly her mother. She had a brain bleed a few years ago and nowadays can only speak a few words and that's about it. I haven't seen it yet, but apparently it's rather...impressive? Intense? Not sure what the right word is.

 

I remember a few years ago Schouten finally had a big breakthrough win (probably in a mass start) in Heerenveen, which she immediately dedicated to her mom who had just survived the bleed and was sitting in a wheelchair behind a window in the stadium, sort of staring down and not entirely 'there'. That was pretty heartbreaking.

 

So, yeah. Go Schouten.

Yes, Teletekst is still hugely popular in The Netherlands. Especially page 818 with the Eredivisie scores is followed massively.

Kjeld Nuis just finished 4th at the Dutch National Championships on the 1.000m in 1.07,88. With that time you would've won the world title last season on the same track. :lol:

Schouten with the 8th fastest 5k in history :bowdown:

And it could probably have gone faster if she'd started a little stronger, judging by the acceleration she still had in the end.

No less than 6 Frenchmen in Inzell this week-end :crazy:

WC qualification time in the 1 500m for 21 y.o Mathieu Belloir and several NJR ... do you think anyone will hear about it ? Of course no, the Ice Sports Federation doesn't give a damn, and L'Equipe, a thousand days from Paris 2024 is too busy wanking over Kylian M'Bappé speaking about his participation to the f***ing olympic football tournament :smash:

But as we now use to say here "alors peut-être" ...

You can't get more Dutch than Schouten. The documentary is about family business on a tulip farm, where the spindle (mother) is lost due to a brain bleed. You can see how Schouten is part of the tulip business in addition to her skating career. It was an impressive documentary, so I could recommend it @heywoodu. Schouten is quite popular in the Netherlands and for a good reason. Our tulip girl :-).

  • 5 weeks later...

She's not even 15 years old yet, the times Angel Daleman is skating this season are...utterly bizarre.

    • The Italian team's form is currently disastrous, especially after their excellent performance at the World Championships in March in Hamar. The miss of qualifications for the women's team is just one of bad news. The second is that Lollibrigida is completely out of form and Ghiotto has her worst results in 4 years at the World Cup. The Italian women's distance team should have been built around Lollibrigida 4 years ago, but with her gone, there's practically no one competing. Peveri and Marletti were there a few years ago, and where are they now? Another huge missed opportunity with the Olympics at home. But of course we are not as lucky as the Czech Republic to have another phenomenon after Sablikova, even though there is not even 1 professional track in the entire country!!! If someone like that appeared among us... Before Paris 2024, Marchand appeared in France in swimming and won several gold medals. No one else appeared in our country and 90% of our medal hopefuls are well over 30 years and already won medals in 2022 and 2018. This is the biggest problem for us.

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
    • for the first time ever made it to the final beating  which for the first time ever will not play the final   It is already an absolute shock   but the thing which is happening right now in the other semifinal is literally unbelievable    is currently 1-5 down after 2 periods against     Sweden never lost a match in all history of the WCh so far
