Any idea if Stolz is skating the final, or he gets a pass in this discipline?

He doesn't usually compete in the team pursuit and the US team have been working together, so I doubt they'll change things up.  We'll see him again in the mass start, and of course the 1500

Stolz isn’t the substitute for the  men’s team pursuit at these games, it’s Conor McDermott-Mostowy.

Italy or USA is crucial for 2nd place in medal table I think

no, the USA will be 2nd quite easily

they still have a lot of gold medal chances, we've got a lot fewer

Italy isn't even certain of a top-eight finish yet. Without that 9 gold, we're 90% certain to be sure overtaken by Sweden, France and Germany. To even think about a third, you'd need at least 10 gold medals, as the Netherlands will likely win that many in short track and speed skating.

It seems to me that you are too critical and do not appreciate what a great Olympics  you are doing. I don't know how many titles you expected, but you won a lot of medals and your performance is magnificent. I think everyone here will confirm it.

I never expected to win a medal in this small event. All four of us made it to the podium, and this is Ning Zhongyan's second medal.
