Wow, Wüst :bowdown:

 

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).

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

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

Agree completely! I felt immediately after Wüst's race that we witnessed Dutch sports history right there.

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:

 

  1. :NED Thomas Krol
  2. :USA Joey Mantia
  3. :CHN Ning Zhongyan
  4. :KOR Kim Min-Seok
  5. :NED Kjeld Nuis
     
  6. :CAN Connor Howe
  7. :JPN Seitaro Ichinohe
  8. :NOR Allan Dahl Johansson
  9. :JPN Takuro Oda
  10. :NOR Peder Kongshaug
     
  11. :BEL Bart Swings
  12. :NOR Kristian Ulekleiv
  13. :ROC Daniil Aldoshkin 
  14. :USA Emery Lehman
  15. :ROC Sergey Trofimov 
     
  16. :BEL Mathias Vosté
  17. :KAZ Dmitry Morozov
  18. :GBR Cornelius Kersten
  19. :CHN Wang Haotian
