NearPup 2,234 Posted December 28, 2021 #231 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Guessing Michelle de Jong's Olympic qualification is going to be pretty marginal. Nice to see her on the matrix after missing out so agonizingly in the 1000m tho. Ted and heywoodu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,189 Posted December 28, 2021 #232 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I guess the main surprises so far are Scheperkamp, Antoinette in the 1000 m, and Kramer making it. You know it has been pretty uneventful since Kramer qualifying can be considered a surprise. Ted 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it has been pretty uneventful since Kramer qualifying can be considered a surprise. Scheperkamp in 1st is a bit of a surprise, sure, but him being in the top-3 really isn't And Kramer qualifying being a surprise doesn't say much about how eventful it was, it only says something about Kramer's decline in the past years 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!

Dennis 600 Posted December 29, 2021 #234 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Groenewoud qualified on the 1.500m That means she’ll most likely start on the mass start as well as reigning World Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted December 29, 2021 #235 Share Posted December 29, 2021 De Jong and Wüst also qualified, two skaters who had already qualified on another distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Schouten OR A. de Jong OR Achtereekte qualifies on the 5.000m, then the women’s team will be complete. The mass start team will 99% sure be Schouten and Groenewoud. The team pursuit team will most likely consist of A. de Jong, Schouten and Wüst with Achtereekte as a reserve. Based on the season so far, that would definitely be the strongest team, so I’m happy!

dcro 10,189 Posted December 29, 2021 #238 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I guess Antoinette will likely now withdraw from the 1k in favor of her sister? There goes the biggest surprise down the drain. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes the biggest surprise down the drain. Naah, don’t think so. They’ll both go to Beijing and the 1.000m is the last distance Antoinette will skate in Beijing after a rest day after the team pursuit. So I guess she will skate herself. But yeah, Michelle would be a great replacement if she’s too tired after all these distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted December 29, 2021 #240 Share Posted December 29, 2021 One more race on the men’s 1.000m. A 1:07.64 might not be enough for Nuis to qualify as the reining champion. This level is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
