 Incidentally, Kok is guaranteed a top-three finish. - Translated from NOS live blog. Is this correct or a translation error. If so how?

 

Original: Kok is overigens sowieso zeker bij een plek in de top drie

Desert Classic is going on in SLC, kind of the season opener there. Nothing too interesting, except for one thing: Arianna Fontana is competing (and doing well in what seems to be her first speed skat

Yeah, you've decided to keep going on this ultrapessimist streak? Alrighty. I honestly don't think any Italian skater can even get into the top-6 in any event at all, it's a miracle they qualified

That's an error indeed :p

 

Better translation would be: "By the way, Kok is guaranteed a spot in case she finishes in the top-3."

Meanwhile :NED is on course for I guess it's worst speed skating results, at least among the men, in many, many years. Zero chance for gold in the 500, 1000 and 1500 meters, obviously no chance in the 5000 as well and not even a remote chance in the 10k. Team pursuit is also very mediocre. Perhaps a miracle in the mass start, who knows.

Thanks to the women, you'll still win 4-5 gold medals+ probably 2 in short track, and you'll be easy in the top 10 in the medal standings. Italy has no chance of winning 7-8 gold medals, and the only time they've done that was in 1994. The Netherlands simply don't have a phenomenon like Stolz in men right now, but even the greatest power can come to a time when some outstanding individual from another country begins to dominate.

Meanwhile, it wouldn't surprise me at all if you guys swept the golds in the women's events. :d

Of course, they will land on all fours paw and win their own along with short track: 7-8 gold medals, which is much more than we have won in the last 4-5 winter editions:facepalm:

12:36 for Stijn van de Bunt, arguably even more impressive than his 5k, wow. Just wow, nearly a national record! 

 

What a guy.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Medal Count

      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

      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
