Władimir Siemirunnij has got the official Polish citizenship this week. Be aware, Dutch users! I say two medals for him in Milano 2026, maybe even one gold, one can dream, we'll see.

Italian users, be aware as well. Ghiotto vs Siemirunnij clash in 10k may be one of the highlights of the games!

Honestly, Jílek scares me more than Semirunniy  But yeah, it will be one of the main events of the Games for me.

Speed skating is one of the most boring sports at the Olympics. I would have loved a roller skating like list of events - elimination race, points race, sprint race etc

Strongly disagree. But a matter of taste ofc

Dutch speedskating in the 5 and 10 km is in the worst shape ever. Last year we saw that Eitrem, Semerunny, Jilek, Ghiotto and others are better than the best Dutch skaters in these distances. Only Patrick Roest, when he doesn't get sick again, can compete with these guys in the 5 km.

 

The 10 km will be a fantastic event in Milano: however, the ISU wants to remove this distance from the program. Not a good idea, because this distance in particular is very, very competitive.

Won't disagree to this.. I would be curious among the younger people in the forum what would they prefer, the current events or more exciting modifications to the sport. @Josh
