A terrible day for Roest, who was definitely not in good shape.

He hopes through racing to get back to form, and will start at the 1500, without any hope of qualifying

Van de Bunt and Huizinga qualified, Bosker in 13th place in the matrix 

3 places also with Q for Cortina?

In 2023 and 2024, Roest seemed unbeatable on 5 km. Ghiotto was to weak against him and always lost the same way: in the last two laps.

Van der Bunt just stated in his interview that he had higher expectations from the 10.000 metres.

 

Also, since he has no international starts under his belt, he will start early in the program in Cortina. This could be an advantage.

As of today, who do you consider the favorite in the 5k: Jilek, Eitrem, a Frenchman, Ghiotto + someone from the Netherlands? In that order?

In my opinion, if Jilek maintains his form from his recent starts, he's almost certain to win two gold medals. But he's young- this will be his first Olympics ever, so we can only hope he's not at 100% form in February.

Loubineaud- In my opinion, he is the main candidate for a weaker form in February: he has been in good form since November + the slow track in Milano doesn`t necessarily benefit him.

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
