Every time there is a finish time they will show Kramer's 50000m victory in Pyeongchang and talk about how the result affects his chances of repeating. Whenever Kramer is in the arena they will show him at least once every ten minutes. If Kramer qualifies they will stop everything to have a parade and a fireworks display. I actually think that's reasonable. Because the 500m is a bit of a lottery N'tab inherently has a better chance of sneaking in a medal than Kramer does (even though both are extremely unlikely). Case in point. Page 101 on the good old Teletekst is for the 'main news', sometimes there is some sports in it if there's something sort of big, usually there isn't. However, today: "Sven Kramer still in the race for the Olympics" Nothing about who won or whatever, just....Kramer is still in the race Dennis, dcro and Ted 3 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!

heywoodu 13,540 Posted December 27, 2021 #195 Share Posted December 27, 2021 In case someone wants to watch: men's 500m, the first race starts now. Later tonight is the second race, the fastest one counts.

NearPup 2,156 Posted December 27, 2021 #196 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The MLG horns feel very out of place in speed skating, but especially to celebrate someone being 4th after 6 pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted December 27, 2021 #197 Share Posted December 27, 2021 A false start *and* a fall in N'tab's pair, and neither were him! heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted December 27, 2021 #198 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Breaking news: Sven Kramer's chances at Olympic qualifications are hurt by a fall from Hein Otterspeer and by Dai Dai N'tab being in first place after the first of two 500m races. Kai Verbij is second and Merijn Scheperkamp is third. This was actually a really impressive performance by N'tab, given Otterspeer false started and fell right in front of him at the start of the crossover.

Sure, not close to his best days, but considering the never-ending injury problems he has been having in the past years, this was finally a really good race.

Dennis 600 Posted December 27, 2021 #200 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Carlijn Achtereekte leads the 3.000m by 0.01 in front of youngster Merel Conijn with one pair to go. Conijn might miss the Olympics on 0.01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
