Cool! Finally an organization that's actually providing good photos :d (unlike Lahti 2017 where they put 15-20 photos online of an opening ceremony with half of them being from dancers..)

Second german athlete, second medal, not bad! :yes

Great to see that we have some good talents on the mens side. Hopefully the girls can win a medal too later on.

Wow, second gold for Canada! :yikes:

On the mens side it wasnt too surprising, because the big nations dont really seem to care about this event, but on the womens side this is absolutely shocking, especially because the canadian girl was among the fastest on the course, so Canada might finally have a decent athlete on the womens side.

The german girls are 3rd, 4th and 5th, not too bad, but a bit disappointing.

Belarus also seems to have some strong talents, two of them are currently 6th and 7th, both with 2 misses, so they both could have won bronze with only 1 miss.

 

Edit:

Final result:

Gold for Bankes from Canada (0)

Silver for Schwaiger from Austria (1) (0:47.9 behind)

Bronze for Weidel from Germany (1) (1:20.0 behind)

Vogt from Germany in 4th (1), Laffont from France in 5th (0), Hettich from Germany in 6th (1), Sola from Belarus in 7th (2) and her teammate Blashko in 8th (2)

 

Sola, Laffont, Voigt (the youngest of the top 8) and Bankes were all born in 1997, so they will probably compete again next year!

Very promising bunch of talents, especially Bankes and Sola!

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
