But that makes sense since everyone who skates for those countries usually train together (Canada has two training groups now, but one of them (Quebec City) is basically a sprint group and the other (Calgary) is essentially the distance group so it works out). Exactly, same for Japan for example. While in the Netherlands, it's more like cycling, with different commercial teams. Which very much raises the overall quality, as shown in the past 20+ years, but isn't good for team stuff Just like there's no way Bergsma and Kramer are going to work together in the mass start. No way.

orangeman 1,439 Posted February 15, 2022 #620 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It's unfortunate that we always have to question an unexpected good result from Russian athletes, but they (and the IOC along with other governing bodies) have done it to themselves.
