heywoodu 13,819 Posted February 7, 2022 #471 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Wow, Wüst Of all performances I've seen in speed skating during the years, this ranks very, very high. And the outburst of emotion after the race was over and she was in interview mode was heartbreaking and beautiful, she basically broke as soon as Paulien van Deutekom was mentioned (her best friend and a former speed skating world champion, same generation, who died three years ago after a short illness). Dennis, Jinzha, NearPup and 2 others 5 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

NearPup 2,379 Posted February 7, 2022 #472 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I feel like I should have learned to stop doubting that Wüst would win these kind of races at some point. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completely! I felt immediately after Wüst's race that we witnessed Dutch sports history right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 610 Posted February 7, 2022 #476 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Tomorrow we have the men's 1.500m starting two hours later than the other races so far. This will probably be one of the most competitive distances with about 8 realistic favorites for the medals and even more outsiders. My prediction: Thomas Krol Joey Mantia Ning Zhongyan Kim Min-Seok Kjeld Nuis Connor Howe Seitaro Ichinohe Allan Dahl Johansson Takuro Oda Peder Kongshaug Bart Swings Kristian Ulekleiv Daniil Aldoshkin Emery Lehman Sergey Trofimov Mathias Vosté Dmitry Morozov Cornelius Kersten Wang Haotian Casey Dawson Tyson Langelaar Alessio Trentini Marcel Bosker Lian Ziwen Park Seong-Hyeon Peter Michael Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu Haralds Silovs Ruslan Zakharov Jinzha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
