Frech Girls 25 Mistakes not bad! And Braisaz takes the wrong way into the finish and loses 25 seconds there

Kalkenberg 0 0 0 looking to get a promotion from bib 107.

It's rather... interesting, how much the Chinese team has improved in a season spent in an isolation and without competition.

 

Some of them are on course to beat/match their decade old personal bests.

Oh well, 26th or 33rd...I wonder if it matters that much for athletes who aim for podium positions

Olympic host bonus in the extreme, as shown in speed skating (men's sprinting, mostly) and some sliding events  

 

Not surprising though  

 

Too bad Yu Qing isn't really making that step with the Chinese team, I still have a present she gave us laying around here so I'm cheering for her as well

Kalkenberg 19/20, will be best

It does help that your coaches are OE Bjorndalen and D Domracheva

Gabrielė Leščinskaitė giving a lot of hopes with her pre-season racing, having a tendency to get faster and faster as the race goes on, gives me false hope that we're winning World Cup points today. Because that 4th and 5th lap was absolutely abyssmal and made a possible good performance absolutely average, and not helping much for her Olympic qualification.
