Last pairs in both events have been nothing short of a snooze.

Meh. Too bad he didn't break WR then.

 

That would have been bad no matter who did it

he started the season with a PB of 6.18 (in Calgary in October)...

 

last week he skated 6.10 in Calgary...

 

now he goes 6.06 in SLC...

 

Wait...? That's not suspicious?

I'm telling you, in the women's team sprint the last pair is going to decide the final medal positions!

Not at all, because he went 12:45 in the 10k last month!

not that much, since it's his first senior pro season...he's young and improving all the time...

 

I mean, to me they are all more than suspicious...but a young talent progressing quickly is not so shocking as a 30-year old suddenly going from average to medal contender...

Bloemen  

 

"I knew I could go for the win from the moment I put on my armband."

 

If that's not a straight stab, nothing is.
