Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Championships 2024

It's about time they make the kick finishes illegal, where someone finishes with the skate up and the back of the skate in the ice. It's causing so many delays due to the ice having to be fixed.

In the women's 1.000m final, 3 of the 5 skaters ( Kim,  Santos-Griswold and   Schulting) fell together.  Desmet finishes in first place,  Fontana in second,  Schulting gets up first and finishes in third, but no way these will be the final standings.

A restart after  Desmet received a penalty 

 

Some of the skaters that fell look slightly injured, so I think this opens the possibilities for  Fontana

 Schulting doesn't finish after the restart as she's injured, which is tough right before the relay finals as well

Well, that was...something

Women's 1.000m:

 

Gold:  Kristen Santos-Griswald

Silver:  Kim Gilli

Bronze:  Arianna Fontana

 

Santos-Griswold completes the set after her silver medal on the 1.500m and her bronze medal yesterday on the 500m. She also finished first in the 1.000m world cup final standings this season, right before Kim Gilli.

 

I think this is Fontana's 18th World Championship medal, after already winning 11 Olympic medals and 76 World Cup medals. What a legend!

Koreans screwing each other in short track, one of the all-time classics  

[Dennis 712]

Just like in the men's 1.500m final,  Park and  Hwang hinder each other when they're skating in first and second place in the A final and again no medals for them.

Men's 1.000m:

 

Gold:  William Dandjinou

Silver:  Pietro Sighel

Bronze:  Luca Spechenhauser

The result of that is that will have to do the relay with the line-up with which they got a 3rd place in the World Cup, followed by a win, a win and another win. Plus without Schulting the chance of actually getting a result is bigger anyway
