dcro 10,186 Posted November 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The final Dutch pair of M 1500 totally botched the final lane change. Both slowed down. Nuis placed 6th, Krol 16th (!!). What a terrible season starter for the Oranje. Ted 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,186 Posted November 13, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Ah, yes, the NBC. Erin Jackson of course has to be dumped in the first black woman category and be defined by it. https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/11/12/erin-jackson-speed-skating-world-cup/ #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Linha 478 Posted November 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 13, 2021 What the hell happened with the Men's Mass Start? It seemed to be a pretty big mess as nobody exactly knew how many laps who still has to go ..... Seems first 3 have been awarded but about the rest, we got no clue as the results haven't come up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the clear winner knew he'd won until a while after the finish. The riders don't know what's going on. The referees have no clue what to do and don't even follow their own rules (it was specifically stated that any rider who is lapped, will be out of the race from that moment on...Japanese dude lapped half the field and nobody was pulled out). Commentators barely follow what's happening. But it's hip and urban version of the marathon, for sprinters, so it's Olympic. Because short. phelps 1 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!

Or even just mirror it to one of the roller speed skating events if that’s the what their trying to replicate. The elimination and points formats World Skate uses are such much better than the awful format used by the ISU. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

They all have finishing time but for some reason got DSQ which means recieving 0 points in the WC ranking compared to the athletes recieving many points but not making it to the final. Which is quite unfair I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a mass start (the event is most likely to qualify in) and their best path to qualifying for another individual event is through the time ranking. So it's probably better to get to North America a week early and acclimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
