  • 3 weeks later...

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 :p

Surely you know better about cross-country skiing than me so correct me if i am wrong here, but i have a feeling FIS Cross-Country World Cup becomes least and least valuable - to some degree - as well.

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.

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) :p

It is. You'll have to wait for the startlists themselves.

:ITA 

 

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 :NOR 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)

:FRA 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 ...

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.

    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker

    • You look like an objective man, so I will ask you: which beer is better? Polish or Czech?
