Ugh, team sprints are coming up.

And it must be a record participation. Four teams decided to show up for the women's race!

Historic medal for Switzerland. Too bad it's in the biggest nonsense of speed skating.

Well yeah, basically nobody gives a fuck about it and that's in a sport where basically nobody gives a fuck about  

 

The Dutch men decided not to start, because of the ridiculous scheduling, right after the 1500m. Obviously the solution is simple: get rid of the team sprint bullshit. ISU's more likely solution: let's get rid of the 1500m.

Nah 1500m is around to stay. 1000m would be the one to get replaced. I say that because it’s not in the Youth Olympics...

If the Youth Olympics is the example to go by, every sport is doomed.
