Haha, Schulting being kicked out for, basically, skating the race

 

This is such a random sport, say hi to your opponent and you're kicked out

Anyone knows of a way to download these videos?

A bit off topic, looking the same for this too: https://livestream.com/FISU

wow! this first semifinal skate in the men's 1500m looked like a good old keirin race from the Eighties, with a lot of contact between the skaters...I guess the video judge would have to watch it carefully...

Sandor Liu was on the inside in one of the curves, so he'll most likely be DQ'ed..

well, this time is not that random...she definitely hit Huot Marchand with head...looked like a keirin move, more than a short track's...

and Marchand was also already under threat (and then actually out of the race) because of her previous hazardous move...

 

p.s. and now also Liu Shaolin is out...actually, I expected more than 1 DSQ in this race...

This is getting boring though, you can barely do anything or you're kicked out. What's left of the sport when people are DQ'ed who are hit by others? (like yesterday, a Chinese girl I believe was penalized after someone hit her hard, who was in turn advanced )

[phelps 7,711]

more DSQ coming...

[heywoodu 15,178]

Yep, there was another overtake.
