And from the supposed bad lane draw.

He really has a unique style which makes him have not much of a disadvantage from it. Basically he's the only sprinter (ever?) who is somehow able to sort of accelerate after the final turn, which is where he gains a lot of his time, whereas many top sprinters have trouble even holding the inside lane when they're going fast. Shinhama probably being the best example, he often just hits the brakes in that inside turn.

 

One-race 500m of course remains bullshit, but at least with this race Stolz made it fairly clear he'd have won anyway

Leerdam in the last pair with Goetz. I guess that was planned.

 

Karolina Bosiek in pair with Brittany Bowe. Top 12 is maybe possible?

Obviously GB officials listened to me ...

Overall insane winter sport results for GB this season. I think they might have won more medals than Finland for example?

No - he was raised in the Netherlands but his mother is English and has had duel nationality since birth
