I was wrong. If you sum the total World Cup points won (excl. relays) in week 1 versus week 2, then Italy is indeed under-performing compared to Stage 1. Most improved are: +336 points (796 vs. 460) +115 points (1143 vs. 1028) +115 points (716 vs. 601) Biggest decreases: -151 points (442 vs. 593) -142 points (211 vs. 353) -121 points (243 vs. 364) phelps, Gianlu33, maestro and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted October 29, 2023 #32 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) The women's relay final was pure chaos: and fell (first , not much later both and ). and missed an exchange because the riders from Canada and the Netherlands were hindering each other. I don't think anyone knows who won. The on screen timing now says won, but I'm totally not sure.

Noorderling29 134 Posted October 30, 2023 #38 Share Posted October 30, 2023 According to the specialist speedkating website, schaatsen.nl, the Dutch team has lodged a complaint: they claim the Korean women skated one fewer round. As I understand it, according to our national coach, the jury has acknowledged this, and the expectation is that the result will be changed accordingly, hopefully before the next World Cup event in Beijing in early December .

One would say those 10 minutes they took yesterday should be enough to rewatch the entire race on slowmotion and easily count the laps, that should have been step 1...

I was also surprised that Korea finished one lap before the rest, but then again, it was probably the most chaotic race I've ever seen. Some of the skaters were also confused as Kristen Santos was sprinting to the finish with the Korean skater, and then it turned out that the US had to skate one more lap. Well now it turns out that Korea also had to skate one more, so both teams sprinted to early. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
