The first sign of winter is a Brazilian speed skating record being broken...

Like so many sports, speed skating really doesn't need a mixed relay. Or in this case it doesn't even need a relay at all. There's already the team pursuit and the bullshit team sprint.

Tomorrow the three day World Cup qualifying tournament for the Dutch skaters starts. Generally that's an excellent moment for seriously strong times, since it's really important, and the expected air pressure is very promising as well in terms of times :cheer:

The US had their team trials recently, but I’m not that hopeful. The times were rather sluggish. I know it’s early season, but Skating and Biathlon are our weakest winter sports right now.

Someone is badly forgetting Nordic combined and ski jumping :p 

 

USA isn't a biathlon power, but they are significantly better at it than both ski jumping and NoKo. Same goes for speed skating by the way, although it's far from the days of Chad Hedrick (ugh), Shani Davis (miss him) and Joey Cheek. Still, there's people like Brittany Bowe and Heather Bergsma, they might not dominate, they are definitely world class.

      Most people know taekwondo from watching the Olympics. However, only sparring is recognized in the Games - poomsae (forms) is completely left out. It's time for the Olympic program to acknowledge poomsae and give taekwondo's artistic discipline the recognition it deserves.   Sign this petiton: Make Poomsae an Olympic Sport

      Meanwhile Trump is - again - at the edge of legality by threatening a journalist/media company with jail time if not giving up a source for information around the US airman rescue in Iran. Nice and public on live TV.
