Kjeld Nuis and Thomas Krol were only 5th and 6th respectively. the women's Allround tournament was won with comfortable margin by Antoinette De Jong (I refuse to use her married name) thanks to her superiority in the shorter distances (Today she skated a very, very impressive Track Record of 1.52.95 in the 1500m). second was Marijke Groenewoud, the others came after the music stopped. the men's Allround tournament was a one-man show by Patrick Roest, who dominated all the 4 races...and he did it with quite some margin. in the end, Beau Snellink came second thanks to his new PBs in the longer distances, but the difference between him and Roest is quite embarassing. Marcel Bosker and Kars Jansman ended up in 3rd and 4th place respectively.

heywoodu 13,562 Posted December 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Fantastic 10k by Snellink by the way, but there was just no stopping Roest in this shape, at all. Last ones to win all four distances were Sven Kramer in 2008 and Kees Verkerk in 1966. And it's not because of Snellink's level...that was definitely excellent. For me the most impressive wins of these days were Leerdam's 1000m's, Roest's 10k and Rijpma-De Jong's 1500m. Snellink might have impressed me the most though.

Luckily she didn't really change her name. She's not officially known as Antoinette Rijpma now, De Jong is still just as much in her name, so it's nearly impossible to forget who she is More like Maria Riesch and Lara Gut becoming Maria Höfl-Riesch and Lara Gut-Behrami (and so very obviously the same two people, no need to remember anything new), instead of Lindsey Kildow becoming Lindsey Vonn 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!

phelps 6,893 Posted February 10, 2023 #20 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) more results from the Junior Worlds women's 1500m, Gold Medal to Angel Daleman, who destroyed the field in 1.58.81. Silver to Jade Groenewoud in 2.00.04; Bronze to Greta Myers in 2.00.56. men's 500m, Gold to Jordan Stolz in 34.95, just a fraction ahead of Issa Gunji in 34.97. Bronze to Tim Prins in 35.73. men's 1500m, Gold once again to Jordan Stolz in 1.45.17. in this case, his rivals are way behind...Silver went to Kotaro Kasahara in 1.47.14; Bronze to Yang Ho Jun in 1.47.90. Daleman and Stolz are also leading with more than comfortable margin the All-Around competition in their respective gender (can I still write the word "gender"? ).
