Verbij finished 3rd, N'tab 2nd. 

This is very bad for Kramer's Olympic chances

Kramer will go. They will give him a spot for the team pursuit if he doesn't qualify based on the matrix. That's what I think.

Isn't N'tab ahead of Verbij?

You reacted too fast, I had changed it within a minute or two

Wait, Sven Kramer is competing in the 10,000m tomorrow? This changes everything (for NOS)!

They often miss the first race of a distance. You can count on them not doing so today

He has withdrawn and it's not even on an NOS main page yet

Carlijn Achtereekte is one lucky skater, though to be fair she won the Olympics by whopping eight time the margin she got third at these trials xD

Nah. I remember being the only one who predicted her Olympic gold. She is well capable.

Will Schulting literally attend 500m if she ended in top3?

Would be a surprise as the short track relay final will be on the same day, with the relay final being right before the 500m.

Especially since is arguable the favourite to win the short track relay... and Schulting is not so much the favourite to win the 500m in speed skating :P
