I know Serbia is no speed skating power, but still I'm surprised their 1500m men's record is 15 seconds slower than Brazil's and only about a second faster than the Brazilian women's record

Or that Ireland’s men’s 500m record is marginally better than Uzbekistan’s (especially since their skaters only took up the sport 1 month ago)

He's 39 years old, but this is the only time of him on the 1.500 that's even been published.
