heywoodu 13,560 Posted November 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Irene Schouten and the rest of her teammates have decided to skip the first World Cup in Japan, because it doesn't fit in their schedule. As always, speed skating is the winter sport where the World Cup is by far the least valuable of all, I've been watching it since before I could walk and watch all the World Cups and important championships and still have no clue who actually wins the overall World Cups or something during the season Edited November 3, 2023 by heywoodu maestro and Josh 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

This season may be a bit different because there are no WCH and Tour de Ski will be more important, But normally i enjoy watching Ruka opening weekend World Cup very much because almost everybody's there and then... many people skip every other stage. Very disappointing. Edited November 4, 2023 by rafalgorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing. In cross-country skiing most World Cups still have most of the top athletes (not always all, no), but also: the cross-country World Cup is a consistent season. It starts in November and until March or so we've got competition almost every week, with always some focus on the World Cup standings (the overall especially). In speed skating, there's a handful of World Cups and that's it, and there's always more big names missing, especially when going to Asia. Besides, there's just never really a focus on the standings. Not even the overall ones, let alone the little globes (if they even have globes for the sub-classifications? No idea) maestro 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

phelps 6,872 Posted November 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) women Laura Lorenzato Veronica Luciani Serena Pergher men Francesco Betti David Bosa Daniele Di Stefano Davide Ghiotto Andrea Giovannini Riccardo Lorello Michele Malfatti Alessio Trentini all eyes on Ghiotto, of course but also looking forward to Pergher (especially in the women's 500m, distance on which she's the reigning junior world champion) and Di Stefano (who improved a lot above all in the 1500m in the recent warm-up races in Inzell) our top female skater, Francesca Lollobrigida, who gave birth to a child just a few months ago, will be back in the world cup only when the circus gets back to Europe (beginning of December in Stavanger), as she isn't comfortable to fly that far with her young baby (she already competed in Inzell a couple of weeks ago, though...and showed a good shape for someone who just started skating after almost a year of inactivity -she went 4.06 in the 3k) Edited November 9, 2023 by phelps maestro and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 278 Posted November 9, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2023 3 skaters, first TP since 2014. And two guys currently injured could have featured here. These are good signs, even if the French bid for 2030 would include speed skating in the Netherlands A bit disappointing not to see any woman. One, Charlotte Guillermin, is competitive enough to qualify through the Mixed Gender Relay pathway, don't know why she does not enter. If this has to do with nobody understanding the "loophole" and thus a missed opportunity ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually appear online significantly earlier than they did now. Usually a list with which athletes in which distance, and then the night before the first races we get the start lists.
