Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026


Recommended Posts

Horrible results for :CAN these Olympics. Nothing went our way in short track, both bad luck and bad performances. This has to be the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a Canadian team in any Olympics.

What a race, what an Olympics, 5 gold medals, damn :hyper: 

 

Itzhak de Laat is Olympic champion, I'm gonna read that sentence 52 more times to make sure it's true :lol:

Canada at the 2025 World Championships:

10 medals (6 golds)

 

Canada at the 2026 Olympics:

5 medals (1 gold)

Oh ya, pretty good chance part of why the ice sucks tonight is that it got up to 18°C (and sunny) in Milan today. It was a beautiful day, but not great for ice.

Chocking at the Olympics and being Canadian, name a more iconic combination.

I feel like there is some clear bias that might explain the results, almost all the music that plays during the races are from :NED artists xD

It's an absolute disgrace. They were talking about up to 10 medals with 5 golds, and leave with 5 and 1 gold. Dandjinou talked up like the new superstar, leaves with one silver that his teammates won for him. Absolutely pathetic showing for the short track team, which unfortunately is a trend for them since 2010.

It was uncomfortably warm in Bergamo (luckily we got out of Milan last night already) :lol: 

 

Here it was odd to have 15 degrees but the snow from yesterday still laying around :p

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
