Verbij after his race: "I had to stop instead of attempt that risky exchange, otherwise I'd also ruin his race. I'm not an asshole."

Just for fun, a complete 'prediction' including times, including surprises :   Nils Van Der Poel - 6:06.01   Patrick Roest - 6:10.12  Ted-Jan Bloemen

I just check the stats, it's the first Olympic podium ever for an Italian in women's speed skating

So beautiful! Do you happen to know which well-known ice rink it is similar to (at least in terms of altitude)? Can @heywoodu perhaps provide some info?

According to wikipedia, the most comparable oval that I've seen in international competitions in terms of altitude is the one in Stavanger in Norway (49m vs 48m respectively).  

 

In terms of Olympic Ovals, the closest one in altitude is Korea's from 2018 (26m).  Sochi's was 27m, but it has been renovated into something else since.  Lillehammer was 125m.

Which all counts as similar, to be fair. There isn't really any significant difference between a track at sea level or one at 250m or something, at least nothing that's a bigger factor than the actual quality of the ice :p

Yes, that's what I was trying to say.  Not SLC or Calgary, pretty normal.

I’m not a design expert but the color of the seats reminds me of clothespins :p

TBH I don’t love the “look of the games” so far. I’d say it’s my least favorite since SLC. But that’s of course highly subjective (I loved Vancouver’s, and that one was pretty divisive iirc) and I may change my mind as I see more venues (so far only got a really good look at curling and speed skating).

      Czech Euroeport commentator: wow I see there only 9 pairs starting, Korea probably thought they have no chances and decided to not send a pair here, what a dumb move   omfg... I know for being a sport announcer you not need any special requirements, but I think having some basic infos about the event you are going to comment should be fine to have at least

      Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
