Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

[Dennis 759]

The Americans are disappointing again. Dawson has an excuse as he only arrived in Beijing this morning, but skaters like Bowe and Mantia are underperforming. 
 

Not the first time this happens at the Olympics.

Kongshaug in 4th is probably the biggest surprise

How the hell does Norway keep developing such amazing talents? The Netherlands is understandable (given that this is basically their only winter sport), but in Norway speed skating isn’t really relevant and they have a tiny population. I don’t want to believe that Germany couldn’t be at least as good as Norway.

luckily you don't have to listen to the Italian commentators (in most sports, unfortunately...it's not only speedskating)...
