Even the timing systems think the team sprint is worse than explosive diarrhea.

Ntab's biggest contribution to this world championships will be the trackwalk video he made for/with Dutch TV explaining how to have a good 500m. Basically he explained it like this:   - Sta

Oh come on, just cut the head off of this monstrosity that's called a team sprint and be done with it :facepalm: It's the world championships and this is the women's start list:

And the draw for the men's 5k tonight is just one big disappointment :(

Basically all of the favourites avoided each other. At least Kramer has to go early and seems to be in fantastic shape, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get awfully close to the WR.

and we are underway...

 

first Italian athlete, Noemi Bonazza in the women's 3000m and first disappointing outing...PB of 4.04 (in Hereenveen), she skated 4.08 in SLC...:wall:

 

she totally missed out on her peaking, to say the least...:spank:

 

by the way, our National TV has blocked the YT broadcast, as they are also showing this event...in streaming on their website with Italian commentary only (of course an awful commentary) and with the wonderful resolution of 404p...:yikes::hairpull::wall:

 

I'd better watch some football on tv...:zip::bones:

So far most people are 'disappointing' (as in, not getting their PB's). One of the Dutch commentators has of course already mentioned the L-word...luchtcirculatie, meaning air circulation --> the thing that, according to him, has a huge influence on the results. There's not enough air circulation from riders on the warmup track yet :lol: 

 

Always when there's a false start, one can hear him say how it'll affect the times 'because there is a little break and so the air circulation is broken' :p

yeah, but most people have PB skated in calgary or SLC, which makes it less obvious to improve each and every time...

 

Bonazza's best came in Hereenveen earlier this season (the first one she's trying to switch from the shorter distances to the 1500m/3000m disciplines)...

 

so, in this particular case it's normal to expect people improving from time time, especially when you go from a sea level european track to the altitude North American ice ovals...

 

but something must have happened with her, since she's having the worst 2 weeks of the season (I hope she's not sick)...

 

p.s. Achtereekte...wow!

luchtcirculatie troubles or not...huge PB for her...:d

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify.

The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
