ah, that double in Almaty...:facepalm: :wall:

 

the same in speedskating...

 

why has ISU decided for this anti-climatic stuff? (don't tell me...money!) :nopompom:

A few months ago they hadn't found any federation interested to host the 3rd, 4th and 5th World Cup weekend after :CHN withdrew their offer to host the 3rd and 4th World Cup stage. So the :KAZ federation might have been the only interested federation to step in, now that :JPN and :CHN are not keen on hosting international sports events and :KOR is already hosting the World Championships.

 

For long-track speed skating, it would have been more interesting had they split the World Cups in North-America between :CAN Calgary and :CAN Quebec or :USA Salt Lake City or even :USA Milwaukee instead of a double header in Calgary. I'm not sure why they didn't. Maybe to make it more appealing to skaters to cross the Atlantic as they won't have to travel much?   

 

The second double header in Tomaszów Mazowiecki also doesn't make much sense, although it might have been a process of elimination:

 

  • :NOR will host the European Championships and the first World Cup stage of the season. 
  • :GER will host  the Junior World Cup Final and Junior World Championships in the same period as the final World Cup stages of the season.
  • :NED will host the World Championships a few weeks later and will host the second World Cup stage of the season.
  • :ITA doesn't have an indoor track at the moment in use. 
  • :RUS and :BLR are out for obvious reasons.  

 

There are no other European countries at the moment with an indoor 400m track.

The World Cup Season has started in :CAN Montreal. Yesterday all heats were skated, as well as the quarterfinals on the relays.

 

The semi-finals on the relays will look as follows:

 

  • Women's relay:
    • Semi 1: :NED :CHN :ITA :JPN 
    • Semi 2: :KOR :CAN :USA :POL 
  • Men's relay:
    • Semi 1: :CAN :KAZ :JPN :CHN
    • Semi 2: :NED :ITA :KOR :BEL
  • Mixed relay:
    • Semi 1: :NED :CHN :CAN :JPN
    • Semi 2: :KOR :BEL :ITA :FRA 

 

Top 12 teams per relay in the World Cup classifications at the end of the season qualify for the World Championships in :KOR Seoul. As a host, South Korea will be automatically qualified as a host for each relay, but they will most likely finish top 12 anyways in each event.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
