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 :p

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...:fingers:

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

    • Was an interesting competition...as I was watching, I was thinking that the boulders seemed a bit simple for this caliber of athletes (and also a lack of more dynamic moves).  Glad my suspicions were confirmed when Oriane and Janja stated that they wished the boulders were harder at the end.  We'll see what this looks like if this happens again!   (Biggest complaint: SF1 and SF2 was immediately followed by the Small Final, so the loser of SF2 wasn't as rested.  They could have switched genders to the other SFs first.)
    • He missed all 3 attempts at 2.27 to finish in second place. Merlos cleared 2.27 on his first attempt to equal his PB from a few weeks ago and will go for 2.29 now.     Another 2008-born athlete, Evelyn Mitropoulou, got 6.45 in the women's long jump  The U20WL is 6.46, so she was very close. She also smashed her own indoor U20NR of 6.25 today 
    • Oh how I don't like the Falun stadium and its courses 🙃
    • 17 yo Charalampos Alivizatos in the men's high jump with 2.25 at  National Championships  His previous PB was 2.19, he equaled that today, then cleared 2.21 on his first attempt,  2.23 on his third, and 2.25 on his first!   He is trying now for 2.27 and missed his first attempt. He is currently in second place as Merlos also cleared 2.25 but with less attempts.   He is improving rapidly. His PB after 2023 was 1.90, then 2.07 after 2024 and 2.15 after 2025
