1500m is the most painful overall because everything (lungs, legs, lower back, arms) hurts, but it’s hard to beat the back pain I feel on those longer skates. It’s not a support for people who don’t like being constantly on their limits. I struggle not to just give in and cruise on all of my workout skates. 

 

Isn't that something you correct in gym (or with more skating)?

Absolutely. If long skates are giving back pain all the time, you're either not having enough long skates or your position sucks

Rumyantsev stopped, Tumolero is dying big-time. What a race.

rip Tumolero...he hasn't stopped but almost...

[heywoodu 15,147]

This is very rare and quite bizarre.

Nice meltdown for Nicola Nauta.

[dcro 10,210]

Both DNF'd.

[phelps 7,680]

and Nick stops...

 

tbh, I didn't expect him to have a great race, as he just came back (with a modest time) from a flu (and after losing the entire last season after the horrific Pyeongchang injury)...

hopefully, Ghiotto can make up for this one...yesterday he was more than decent over the half distance...

Ghioto is crapping his pants after seeing how these guys are dying like flies
