Great winner, super fast times! :clap::yikes:

As someone who has been supporting Bittner for many years now i am very excited about this, winning on her home track must be very special for her.

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

Draws for today:

 

Women's 5.000m:

  1. :POL Magdalena Czyszczon - :RUS Elena Sokhryakova 
  2. :NED Carien Kleibeuker - :JPN Lemi Williamson
  3. :JPN Nene Sakai - :GER Claudia Pechstein
  4. :CAN Isabelle Weidemann - :NED Esmee Visser
  5. :BLR Maryna Zuyeva - :RUS Natalia Voronina
  6. :CZE Martina Sáblíková - :CAN Ivanie Blondin

Kleibeuker can always surprise, Pechstein didn't compete in the 3.000m and I'm not sure why that was, Weidemann has been doing great all season, Visser just skated a PB and Sáblíková and Voronina did great on the 3.000m. Could be the first individual gold for the Dutch with Visser winning.

 

Men's 1.000m:

  1. :JPN Yuto Fujino - :KOR Jin-Su Kim
  2. :EST Marten Liiv - :POL Piotr Michalski
  3. :CAN Laurent Dubreuil - :USA Kimani Griffin
  4. :RUS Denis Yuskov - :BEL Mathias Vosté
  5. :NOR Allan Dahl Johansson - :CHN Zhongyan Ning
  6. :JPN Masaya Yamada - :CAN Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu
  7. :USA Joey Mantia - :JPN Tatsuya Shinhama
  8. :KOR Tae-Yun Kim - :GER Nico Ihle
  9. :GER Joel Dufter - :BLR Ignat Golovatsiuk
  10. :NOR Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen - :NED Thomas Krol
  11. :NED Kai Verbij - :RUS Viktor Mushtakov
  12. :NED Kjeld Nuis - :RUS Pavel Kulizhnikov

Yuskov in pair 4 already, which is definitely an outsider and could put the pressure on the rest, but the favorites are in the last three pairs. The 500m has shown that everyone can win as the level was insane. 

 

Women's 1.000m:

  1. :TPE Yu-Ting Huang - :NED Sanneke de Neeling 
  2. :NOR Anne Gulbrandsen - :ITA Noemi Bonazza
  3. :KOR Hyun-Yung Kim - :GER Gabriele Hirschbichler

  4. :USA Kimi Goetz - :CAN Heather Mclean

  5. :CHN Xin Zhao - :CHN Jingzhu Jin

  6. :NOR Hege Bøkko - :NED Antoinette de Jong

  7. :POL Natalia Czerwonka - :JPN Maki Tsuji

  8. :KAZ Yekaterina Aydova - :CHN Qishi Li

  9. :NED Jutta Leerdam - :RUS Yekaterina Shikhova

  10. :JPN Miho Takagi - :RUS Olga Fatkulina

  11. :USA Brittany Bowe - :JPN Nao Kodaira

  12. :RUS Daria Kachanova - :AUT Vanessa Herzog

Bowe, Takagi and Leerdam are the only three with a sub 1:14 time this year, but Kodaira is the WR holder. Shikhova and Li are outsiders for me. Herzog is usually better at the 500m, but the world title might have given her wings. Excited to see how this pans out.

 

Men's 10.000m:

  1. :JPN Takahiro Ito - :JPN Ryosuke Tsuchiya
  2. :ITA Michele Malfatti - :CAN Graeme Fish
  3. :NOR Ole Bjørnsmoen Næss - :NZL Peter Michael
  4. :NED Jorrit Bergsma - :RUS Alexander Rumyantsev
  5. :GER Patrick Beckert - :ITA Davide Ghiotto
  6. :RUS Danila Semerikov - :NED Patrick Roest

The top 11 skaters on the 10.000m this year are all Dutch with Bergsma leading the world ranking, but his 5.000m was poor. First non-Dutch skater is Fish, but he skated his time on the fast track of Calgary. Beckert, Rumyantsev and Tsuchiya are next and could all challenge for a medal.

Didn't Pechstein skip the 3k to focus on the 5k because of some back issues? A quick search also brought up something about the European court for human rights and something they said shortly before the world champs, but I am really not interested enough in the whole Pechstein drama to spend time on reading that in German :p
