If you’re into drama, I highly suggest you watch the women’s 500m semifinal 2 back. 4 (!!) restarts occurred as riders kept getting taken out before the first curve (Michelle Velzeboer x3, Courtney Sarault x1, Park Jiwon x2)  

 

Couldn’t contain my laughter after the second time

Another Canadian penalty

Just now, Josh said:

Another Canadian penalty 

I was really wondering what that was until they showed the replay and... ya, sure is a penalty.

That means Stage 3 of the World Cup has been completed.

 

Host country has shown well here, much better than in the first two World Cups. and the   also had their best World Cup weekend of the season so far in Beijing.   

 

was disappointing, but can hopefully make up for that next week in front of their home crowd in Seoul and also and as well as had their worst weekend of the season so far. Poland was pretty invisible this whole weekend except for the women's relay.

    

These are the top 10 countries in the world based on the number of World Cup points they have gained this year, including points gained in relays:

1.  South Korea - 4.025 points (+1.014)
2.  Canada - 3.728 points (+1.153)
3.  China - 3.282 points (+1.505)
4.  the Netherlands - 2.686 points (+1.094)
5.  Italy - 1.873 points (+520)
6.  United States of America - 1.462 points (+476)
7.  Belgium - 1.115 points (+318)
8.  Poland - 1.028 points (+264)
9.  Japan - 992 points (+297)
10.  Kazakhstan - 779 points (+333)

@Dennis have a question about the mascots that they hand out to eventual medal winners. Is this Bing Dwen Dwen (Beijing 2022 Olympic mascot) in an outfit?

 

[Dennis 600]

These are the relay teams that would now qualify for the world championships (top 11 countries + the host country the Netherlands):

 

However, there are still 3 World Cups to go in the qualification period.
