1,46 secs faster on the last lap alone? That is probably a huge difference?

Roest went from 29.5 on the penultimate lap to 30.5 in the last one. That was his undoing. Vd Poel just stayed consistent.

The last 2 laps, dear lord

Damn that was some crazy s**t!

 

I was convincing myself that he won't make it, but boom there he goes

 

Congrats

Van der Poel.

It is already a hour since Kramer crossed the finish line in a individual event for the last time and nobody speaking about that

Today's prediction:

 

1.Nils van der Poel  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Davide Ghiotto  

3.Bart Swings  

 

No medal for the Dutch men today. A goodbye for the best Dutch speedskater ever, Sven Kramer. 

 

thanks, but no way it was going to happen...

 

unfortunately, Ghiotto is a choker...he never matches his world cup times and results in the global events...

He is entered for the mass start (even if chanceless).

I guess Ghiotto was supposed to do better than this.

a lot better, but I knew he was going to blow things up, especially on this kind of ice...

 

by the way, I think I guessed the exact podium finish of this race in the miscellaneous prediction contest...

Ghiotto have two main problems:

• He had some pressure problems, i think that's is clear
• He reach to do some notable results only on the fast ice, like the North American arena.
