I meant in general, not in speed skating in specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I hear a lot about the Netherlands as well, and about quite a few other countries 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!

Every Olympics Canada has the worst World Championships to Olympic medal conversions. I've been saying it for years, they need to invest more into psychologists. Canadian athletes have trouble performing on the biggest stage, and it's not due to skill or funding. It's starting to seep into hockey and curling now, too. At pyeongchang, we went from 23.5 medals at the WCs (on average across every olympic events) to 15 at the real thing. We also underperformed last year, and it seems, it will be again the case this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted February 13, 2022 #565 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Honestly the best I felt we could have done was 4th so maybe it was for the best we finished 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,323 Posted February 13, 2022 #566 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Absolute debacle for Canada in speed skating, especially on the men's side. No medals for men's out of potential for 4 (and a supposed gold-medal lock). Bloemen will always be a champion, but this was not his meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
