The Dutch ladies Beune, Schouten and Groenewoud skated by far the fastest time, but were disqualified because a small piece of skin from Beune's ankle was visible during the race. That seems to be forbidden.

That seems like a somewhat ridiculous reason for a DQ?

Skin of ankles must be covered for safety. During the race, the covering of Beune's ankle shifted, resulting in disqualification. Bizarre rule and sorry for the team. This was the first decent team pursuit of the Netherlands in ages. And sorry for Beune, who normally finishes fourth in most of the competitions she skates.

I've seen speed skating for most of my 32 years, but I don't think I've often seen a more ridiculous situation than this, damn. Nothing against the Canadians of course, but I guess they know they got the gold on a technicality and not because they were the best.

 

Not like the rule in itself is necessarily a bad one, but it's always odd to have situations where there's either no punishment or a straight-up DQ. Rules are rules though.

Ok catching up a bit and Jordan Stolz's 34,10 might be the next most ridiculous thing I've seen in a very very long time, but this one is ridiculous in the absolutely most positive sense of the word  

 

Wow, wow, wow. Without any doubt one of the top performances across all sports in 2023 so far. There are no words to describe how insane this race was.

And from the supposed bad lane draw.
