heywoodu 13,562 Posted November 18, 2023 #33 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I love how Dutch commentators aren't able to interprate basic lap time information even after decades of commentating. Roest had the fastest time, Ghiotto was attacking it and started faster, but with two laps to go Ghiotto's lap times had slowly gone up and entered the 30+ seconds, whereas Roest had finished his race with low 29's. Two laps before the end their times were basically similar, but the commentators still somehow talked as if it was going to be tense/tight Josh 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!

Without young Bente Kerkhoff, who beat Schouten in the World Cup qualifiers in October (although the mass start wasn't a World Cup qualifier, there it's the national coach who decides). Schouten will continue the dream team with Marijke Groenewoud, her teammate. Her immense 6:42 in the 5k a few weeks ago suggests Schouten's shape is excellent though Edited November 18, 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!

heywoodu 13,562 Posted November 19, 2023 #40 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Ugh, Nuis being Nuis. Doing an interview after the race, an official doing his work points to ending the interview because it's podium time, and despite just having had a fantastic race, Nuis can't just laugh it off and say "be there in a second, thanks!", but angrily goes all "Oh film that guy, film that guy! Unbelievable!". Reminds me of him angrily grabbing an official's accreditation in a threatening manner in Collalbo after a DQ He's a great skater when he's 'on', but man I won't miss him when he retires.
