@heywoodu What's up with these "talentNED" suits? :lol:

 

Pretentious as hell.

TalentNED is just some talent development programme in sports and business (or something), which happened to get together with a speed skating team needing a sponsor :p 

 

Anyway it's a commercial team, not the slogan of the Dutch or something :p

So Sablikova is basically stealing candy from kids. Nice going.

By the way, I can't stress enough how absolutely epic Pedersen's race was. That was utterly insane and one of the best pieces of skating I've ever seen.

please, can someone explain to me the sense of the so-called Team Sprint? (which basically has nothing to do with real sprint performances, except for the first lap/skater) :facepalm:

 

meanwhile, looking at the more traditional races, I'm very disappointed by today's performance by Francesca Lollobrigida...she started definitely too quick and she was already dead after 3 laps...:nopompom:

she did show a lot of progress in the "classic" distances this year, but once again she missed out when it mattered most...:facepalm::wall:

 

among the boys, pretty average result for the Italian team...more or less it all went according to the preview...maybe Ghiotto was even a bit better than expected...let's see if he can get something big in "his" 10000m...

That's not true, the second lap is still definitely a sprinter :p (500m and 1000m are the sprint distances)

let's say it for the "long" sprinters...I don't think a pure 500m specialist can survive the second lap...

 

however, it's the entire race that doesn't have a lot of sense to me (p.s. don't tell me of the track cycling Team Sprint event)...

Which is why a pure 500m specialist will be the first position in the team, but that doesn't change that 1000m is still considered a sprint :p 

 

I don't feel too bad or good about the event, kinda neutral about it. Better than the baby mass start ISU put on the Olympic program :p

  11. :RUS Angelina Golikova - :RUS Daria Kachanova
  12. :RUS Olga Fatkulina - :JPN Nao Kodaira

Draw not as stacked with all the medal favorites in the last three pairs and some outsiders in pair 7, 8 and 9.

 

Draw 500m men:

  1. :POL Piotr Michalski - :NED Ronald Mulder
  2. :CAN Christopher Fiola - :NOR Henrik Fagerli Rukke
  3. :ITA David Bosa - :CHN Tingyu Gao

  11. :JPN Yuma Murakami - :JPN Tatsuya Shinhama
  12. :RUS Pavel Kulizhnikov - :JPN Tsubasa Hasegawa

Much more exciting to me with a number of outsiders in the early pairs and the favorites in the last pairs.

 

With the team pursuits also being skated today, I expect a lot of medals for :JPN
