Strong time yesterday by  Kim Jun-Ho in the men's 500m (34,59).

 

Too bad most of the top skaters are missing, especially the best Americans despite this tournament being held there.

I'm also pretty surprised by two relatively unknown Kazakhs going under 6:20

I don’t think Milwaukee is known for being a fast oval right? If so, those are in fact good times.

Yeah, I was also surprised by this, although Kazakhstan is steadily climbing the ranks in pretty much all distances.

 

The great track in Nur-Sultan is slowly proving its worth, I guess. When you see the amount of skaters taking part in regional competitions in Kazakhstan, you'll see the number of athletes increasing every year. On the women's side you also have Morozova improving event after event. I'm curious to see how this will develop over the next years.

It's not, which is why these times are at least somewhat surprising.

Btw, how often do you get to see something live from Wisconsin?

Pretty often? The Green Bay Packers are one of the most popular American Football teams. They also have NBA and an MLB teams in Milwaukee.

 

This is also the oval that hosted the 2018 US Olympic Trials.

I also think he actually meant international events instead of just those local things like NFL and NBA and whatnot

And to be fair, I sooner saw a live event from Montana than I did from Wisonsin.
