as usual, there's no Italian commentary, only environmental sound (they say there's also an English speaking audio track, but it's mute, there's the ambient sound also there)

Completely forgot this was going on until before the men’s 500m semifinals 

 

Luckily, I didn’t miss all of the action

Are commentators in your countries using these weird nickname stuff? I hear the English-language commentator in the background (maybe the stadium speaker?) talk about the Latvian Golden Stars and 'Jens van 't Wout of the Dutch Lions' and stuff, but Dutch commentator just says "Kruzbergs of Latvia, Park of South Korea" etc  

 

Luckily

And there we go,  takes the win by way of the rest either falling or being DQ'ed

Italy winning a women's relay without Arianna Fontana wasn't on my checklist today

That's first time ever for us.
