Surely you're not saying Ghiotto is even remotely a 'safe' gold? :p 

in the 10K?

yes, we deeply count on that :p

 

because we can say "safe" for anything related to short track nor an alpine skier named Sofia Goggia or a snowboard discipline like snowboardcross :facepalm:

 

and we won't even have the chance to take advantage of a home track in luge and skeleton :hairpull:

 

as a matter of fact, we're only competitive in very "risky" disciplines, that race in speedskating is the only "performance" event in which we start with heavy chances of winning the gold medal (at least for what we've seen last year)

Well he definitely does have a chance for gold, no doubt, although I'd say something like maximum 25% or so - counting the home advantage - is far from safe. But yeah, anything is safer than Goggia :d 

 

I would find it awesome by the way, Ghiotto is a fantastic fighter. A dream would be to have Ghiotto vs Roest in the last pair, that would be fireworks :hyper:

A small question to the speed skating fans (US fans maybe):

 

Conor McDermott-Mostowy :USA  - he may have some Polish family? Mostowy may be a Polish surname. Andrzej Gut-Mostowy is a Polish politician from Zakopane, he opted for the winter olympics here if i remember correctly. He's doing (or he used to do, I don't know, whatever) bussinesses in hotel, tourism and skiing facilities sector obviously.

13:17.53 for Jordan Stolz in the US championships just now. Which, for those who aren't really into speed skating and times and such, is absolutely and utterly bizarre given the fact he is also able to skate a very low 34 second 500m. That range is astonishing beyond words.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
