Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

[NearPup 3,050]

USA Olympic Team

 

Men:

• Ryan Pivirotto
• Andrew Heo

 

Women:

• Kristen Santos
• Maame Biney
• Corinne Stoddard
• Julie Letai
• Eunice Lee

 

Biney is the only skater with Olympic experience (Pivirotto was on the 2018 Olympic team but didn't race). Santos is the elder statesmen of the team, but she didn't make the 2018 team because she was recovering from injury at the time and finished fourth at trials. Lee came out of absolutely nowhere to claim the final women's spot, she has literally never made a US national team for anything.

China just finished trials today and released the team list.

 

Men: Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long, Li Wenlong, Zhang Tianyi

 

Women: Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong, Zhang Yuting, Zhang Chutong

 

A little controversy goes to An Kai not selected. He won most champions on the trials but his finishing time doesn’t meet the standards.

Sounds about right, definitely a Quebec sport

You used the provincial flags, just so you could use the New Brunswick flag right?

I may of may not have done all the flags as an excuse to use the flag.

 

(I would actually use the provincial flags more if they existed for more than NB and QC)

 Team Croatia

 

Women

Valentina Aščić (500 m, 1500 m)

 

 

Yes, apparently we have received a reallocation for the 1500 m.  Phew. It would have been pretty lame to debut in the sport and then having everything wrapped up after heats of the shortest distance.

 

No idea who declined.

Germany most likely declined the second spot over 1500metres. Only Anna Seidel was nominated today.
