Apparently Groenewold suffered from travelling to Utah late, as did one of her teammates, while two others from that team did not. That will not be a factor later on.
 

Groenewold was sensational at the Dutch Champs/World Cup qualifier, while Daleman was average.

For Daleman to qualify she will have to drastically improve her times, and must hope some of her rivals have peaked too early/crumble under the pressure of the OKT. At the moment, in none of her three distances I would rate her in the top 4 of Dutch riders, let alone top 3. The riders in front of her have all proven this weekend that they’ve world class

The Dutch tv commentator just talked about rumours about Schulting, and according to a newspaper article Schulting is training with the Dutch ST team. No decisions have been made yet: she will probably want to see how the OKT goes.

If we flop in this sport in Milan, like we’re doing here, I’d be surprised if  manages to win more than 6 golds in total…. embarrassing, you’re supposed to peak in time for the Olympics not months before

Full results back on Post 2 updated, including updated medal count.  Canada and Netherlands still top dogs!  Belgium appears in the medal table with their first gold.

Crazy finish in the second women’s 1000m semifinal, Sarault passing Velzeboer for the lead and a three way  battle for second.

Women’s relay disappoints two weeks in a row… 

 

Well Kim Boutin isn’t here, she went back home to recover from an injury that’s been nagging at her since before the season, but even worse it looks like Flo injured her shoulder while falling down… hopefully nothing serious.

When you have 6 skaters in a 500m final, you can expect complete chaos.

 Heo gold and  Pigeon bronze in the men’s 500m, stunned

Pigeon represents Poland although his name definitely sounds french.

 

Actually, I think he's originally from Quebec if I remember correctly.

Looks like  passed  for the final quota in the women's relay for the Olympics.

I've been gone this weekend and haven't been able to watch much, but shocked to see Heo  on top for the M 500m! 

 

Edit: And ironically, it's the first gold for USA this season, despite how good Stoddard and KSG are for the women.
