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

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...:facepalm:

He was simply not a medal contender, he will never skate 6.09 in a track like Beijing, it's not a question of choker, otherwise there are at least 5 chokers in this race because there were 6 or 7 skaters fighting for bronze. Italians probably aren't in best shape looking also at Giovannini and Malfatti but also in best shape Ghiotto will never skate under 6.13 in this track. He is very good on fast ice like North American, he instead seems more heavy in other tracks.

Still Ghiotto is a very nice skater to watch, unbelievable good technique and besides that a very nice person. I'm still hoping for a better result in the 10K?

This is why I love the Olympics..

 

Woke up this morning and saw on the OBS news feed that Van der Poel had won.  So I went back and watched the last pair fully knowing he was about to win.  And that was still absolutely incredible to watch.  What a comeback.  American commentators couldn't believe it

not on this ice, I fear...

 

our best bets at the moment are women's mass start and 1500m with super-Lollipop...

 

I don't think our men have a chance to shine this time...
