1:06.18 WR for Kjeld Nuis on the 1000m :yikes: :hyper: 

 

RIP Shani Davis' ten year old WR :cry:

And 1:11.61 for Bowe in the 1000m to close out the day with another WR....after Miho Takagi (an allrounder!) went sub-1:12 as first woman ever in the race before :yikes:

 

What a day, unbelievable. This was a historic day for speed skating :bowdown:

WADA, where are you? :whistle:

Yeah, test that 'ice master' who created some absolutely perfect ice in perfect conditions on perfect altitude :p

1:06.18 by the way, exactly a second faster than Gerard van Velde's legendarily epic 1000m WR and Olympic gold on the same track in 2002 :d

I know they're in altitude and in SLC they have a magician as the ice master...but let's be serious...this is the last competition of a very long season, with most of the athletes already off their supposed peak period...and world records (even those 10 years old) are falling like the leaves in autumn?

maybe I'm a bit too suspicious, but this epic day can't be all "mother nature"'s result...:p

Most athletes are right at their main peak period, end of February to early March. It's not the first time athletes try and get their peak a little later when the last competition of the season is in Calgary or Salt Lake.

1:42.9 or something for Roest tonight and he takes over first place in the Adelskalendern. Which would be a bit of a shame in my opinion, since Shani Davis apart from being cool was also incredibly allround (winning both allround and sprint championships in the post-80's era is incredible).

Lol @ Nuis not being disqualified. Easily the most scandalous decision of this winter sport season.

Also interesting that apparently 5-6 dutch athletes had very suspicious blood values, but noone was caught doping.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • 13 matches in last 14 days in 3 differnet countries in 2 continents Tunisia, Thailand and China.   Played a match every day Since 19th September   12 wins 1 loss   New career´s high 55th in WTA, 2 weeks ago she was around 110+    
    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote.
