That would be incredibly unsurprising from the Soviets :facepalm:

 

By the way, Virolainen...wow, now that's a name who was doing quite well in the World Cup for a bit not even that long ago and has completely and totally disappeared into oblivion, hadn't heard that name for ages :yikes: 

Just catching up with the Russian Champs from last week - she is there, representing Khanty-Mansiysk.  Will let you know how she gets on in the 15k Individual.

 

5th after the first shoot - 0 @ 20 secs. :fingers:
 

Hmm, on-screen graphics following no known logic here.  Darya is 0 1 though.  Does not help that the commentator seems to think her duty is to imitate a platform announcer at a railway

station.

 

Oh dear, dear, not going well - 11th at over two minutes down after 3 shoots - 0 1 1 :(. 
 

Not getting any better - ski speed is there but 0 1 1 2 for 16th & 3:59 back after 4 shoots tells its own story.  :facepalm:
 

So at the final - 15th overall.  :(.   Will respect spoilers for the winner obvs.
 

Will bring you up-to-date with the sprints when I watch them, probably about late March.  Just imagine I am live-commentating from somewhere in interstellar space.

Yeah, the Russians are always capable of great shooting. I remember years back the women’s relay team shot what was then & probably is still a WR record 41/40 in a relay & then a couple of weeks later, at the next relay,  the men did the same.   But then ....:nopompom:

It was very impressive.  I think that with less recovery time between shooting stages as well.  If Rupholding ever hosts a Super Sprint, we now know what the course will be.  Just wondering, did Sweden even finish the pursuit?  They were so far back.

My issue is I can not read Cyrillic, so I had no idea who I was watching.  The course looks to be an interesting one though.

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By phelps · Posted

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
