Notable results (other than the times mentioned in this thread by others):

  • Unkown skater :BLR Hanna Damaratskaya skated 37,65 in the women's 500m in :RUS Kolomna, the 2nd time of the season so far.
  • :KAZ Yevgeniy Koshkin finished in  34,56 in the men's 500m in :GER Inzell, the 3rd time of the season so far.
  • :NED Sanne in 't Hof skated a 6.54,97 in the women's 5.000m in :NED Heerenveen, more than 10 seconds faster than the number 2 time of the season.

Meanwhile at the Dutch World Cup qualifiers, we can kind of see that Ghiotto's unofficial WR on the 10k might not survive for very long :d 

 

Lots of especially younger guys are destroying their PB's (both on 5k and 10k) with the 'new' thing of skating the entire race with both arms on the back, including in the turns. I assume Ghiotto used that as well, as it's said to be 0.3 to 0.4 seconds of advantage per lap, which is incredible. 

 

Average times in especially the longer distances are going to drop so much :d

It's always so much fun when a breakaway actually works in the mass start.

 

Also, notable that Stolz actually won four gold medals - he also competed in the team pursuit.

Poland has a great talent in the women's divisions. Hanna Mazur is being very impressive in the junior World Cup so far, riding 39's as a 16 year old in super slow Tomaszow is really impressive.

She's also got some endurance, judging by her second place in the mass start today.

Purely for scientific interest....

 

Dutch speed skating world champion Joy Beune has broken records after posing for the cover of Playboy magazine for the first time in her homeland.

 

Not the first winter sports person to do this, Janine Flock was in :AUT playboy, and someone less well known as well.

    • What about her view on putting handball etc to winter and remove bob/skeleton/nordic combins etc?
    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
