awful...

the track is as fast (slow) as in Hamar

Meike Veen skated the same time in the 1500m and Serena Pergher did the same in the 500m

I think by February it will be even faster

Hamar isn't exactly fast neither

 

Like I said, that's fine though. It would be great to have Olympics on a relatively slow track, which makes for different kind of races but certainly no less interesting.

This sport is truly becoming a circus... There are far more serious injuries than 20-30 years ago, when medical science was at a much lower level. Maybe the FIS should do anything about this problem instead of inventing some new competition in cross-country skiing or ski jumping? In my opinion, the problem is with the current skis or the snow they are currently skiing, but I would lean more I think about skis, because injuries are even more often in training than in official competitions.

With this and Perrine Laffont's injury, it's literally 4 potential gold medals that are vanishing for us 🥲

Hope to see Tess Ledeux taking her revenge in 2030. 🔥 She's been so unlucky for three Olympics in a row now..
