phelps 6,536 Posted January 25, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2020 for the joy of the home audience, the men's fight for the overall title seems to be an all-Hungarian (actually, an all-Liu family) affair... De Laat doesn't seem to have the right weapons against the Hungarian brothers, especially on the mid/longer distances and Elistratov doesn't look in his best shape...I don't think he can turn things around in tomorrow's races... meanwhile the women's Overall is only Schulting to lose...both the Italian main contenders, in fact, did some capital mistakes in 1 of today's 2 races and were beaten by the Dutch also in the other one...moreover, Valcepina won't be in the 1000m quarterfinals, which means that she mathematically doesn't have any chance to improve her score in that distance... only Fontana could try what would be an amazing comeback, but the chances are really slim, as Schulting now only need to control the Italian star in tomorrow's races to take the title home... good for Italy that we also did qualify both Relays to the "A" Final, even if I don't see the men going on the podium... the expectations are instead a lot higher among the girls, as ITA and NED should be well ahead of their continental rivals, if they don't make big mistakes...

heywoodu 13,504 Posted January 25, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Is there really no better way in shorttrack to show the classification leader than those red caps? I mean, you're there with some awesome custom helmet design...but if you're doing great, you have to ride around with a lame piece of red cloth covering it Griff88 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 26, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Desmet is actually Belgian right? I remember him from the 2016 YOG, and 2018 WG “Sport has the power to change the world.

Those 'Hungarian' Liu-brothers are way too arrogant. By the way: why does Hungary buy half of their relayteams? Both Krueger-brothers are American and Lockett is Australian. Seems like shorttrack is the new Athletics and Table Tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krueger’s moves after a spat with the US team, and by sheer luck, they have Hungarian roots. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
