Always a great story - a look back at what might be the most gruelling sports event ever held - the 1963 :NED Elfstedentocht.

Interestingly, back in 1895 there was a 36 mile race held on the River Cam at Ely

They still do skating there, I think there are specially-built shallow lakes.

Another dominant performance for Daleman. And a rather anonymous tournament for the Dutch boys.

So many 4th places for Germany ... Maira Jasch finished 4th three times. Sonnekalb looks like the biggest male talent at the moment, he was very close to winning 2 individual golds (1000 m and 1500 m). I don't think that Germany ever had a talent like him. He can come back next year and finish the job. At this rate he could qualify for the olympics in 2026 as an 18 year old and make some waves there. Hopefully he can improve to something like 35.5/1:09.5/1:46.5 next season.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • So, the gap between Shiffrin and Aicher in the overall WC standings is now 219 points.   The races left are: - DH x 3 - SG x 2 - GS x 2 - SL x 2   Could Aicher have a glimmer of a chance?    She'd obviously need to avoid DNFs, which have been an issue this year, but she could potentially lead the table after next week's races in Val di Fassa, provided there are no cancellations (the weather forecast is very good at the moment).  
    • Ricarda Haaser suffered a broken tibia in a DH crash on Saturday.
    • Last night, I had the privilege to see my first live curling matches.  The USA National Championships were just 1.5 hours away from where I live (not bad in a country the size of ours, and even more surprising since I live in an area where it rarely snows).  I got to visit the 'page final' (i.e. first playoff round), the highlight of which for me was Team Shuster vs. Team Stopera.  Team Stopera ended up winning by 1 point, but Shuster will be able to play one final match this morning to see if they can make it to the finals this afternoon (the winner of which will qualify to Worlds).  None of the current Olympians were there, having declined their spot in the tournament.   Got some free swag     These people would yell 'Peel! Peel! Peel' whever someone would peel a stone.   Got to see the measuring instrument in action.   And yes, Matt Hamilton and Colin Hufman had sleeveless jerseys on.
