Amazing Maltais keeps getting better with age!

Weidemann looks like she's competitive again, and Bloeman even seems to be having an resurgence. 

My hopes for our long trackers has certainly risen in the last couple weeks!

Connor Howe is on the startlist for the B 1500 m

Valerie Maltais easily wins the women's 1500m B division, with a time that would have been sixth in the A division.

I don't see him on the startlist anymore?

Oh no...maybe he has withdrawn.

Does anyone know if there is a way to watch the men's team pursuit tomorrow at 11am since they are in the B division? And what time are we aiming for to qualify for the Olympics? Anyone know

And I see Canada paired with Hungary tomorrow which they should beat by around 12 seconds. What happens in a team pursuit if Canada needs to lap them?

My understanding is it's like short track, the team being lapped is told to move aside and the faster team moves past them. 

 

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anywhere to watch the B races. I remember last week lots of people saying this in the main chat. I looked for it briefly yesterday, but didn't find anything.

Yeah, I don't think the B races are produced for tv/streaming... if you can get to Calgary in time, I think tickets are only $10 to see it live though!
