Dutch ladies DQ'ed after the team pursuit (in which they were by far the fastest), because Joy Beune didn't have her transponders on. "Someone had already taken them and I couldn't find them, so I started without them."  

 

It's a whole thing in Dutch sports media and sports social media now

Apparently it's likely to be the last World Cup in Tomaszow, considering next summer a new track in Zakopane - on 1km altitude - should open it's doors. Curious how it's going to be there, athletes are....not impressed, to say the very least, with Tomaszow  (in terms of being one of the most boring cities they've ever been to, and the ice this week has often been horrible)

 

Personally I really don't mind: there's a nice atmosphere inside the arena during the races, with a nice audience being there, unlike often is the case in for example the Asian and North American legs. Plus terrible ice isn't necessarily bad, as long as the ice quality is more or less the same between the 1st and last pair of a distance, it's fine. It's not fun if every single track is always a super speedway, you also need tracks that are heavy and favour the distance athletes more than sprinters, who are favoured in the high altitude tracks.

Good for Zakopane. Usually the oval is one of the issues for a Wog bid. Maybe they can host in 2038 or later

Amazing world record indeed, Stolz is in a league of his own.
