Speed Skating 2016 - 2017 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

The season is finally getting underway for real :woohoo::woohoo:

 

World Cup in Harbin, China, started earlier today with the B-division in three distances. Starting in 2 minutes, these three distances will have the A-divisions (the real deal): women's 500m, men's 5000m (let's go Peter Michael :woohoo:), women's 3000m. 

 

In case anyone is interested, Dutch public TV shows all A-divisions live here (don't know if it works outside NED) :p

Oh, didn't know that existed too :d 

 

Edit: Wait, I do. I just forgot. I sometimes watch it when the most annoying of our annoying commentators is spewing his boring crap on the Dutch stream :p

Three Colombians in Harbin tomorrow :d 

 

Pedro Causil in the 500m B-division, just like last season. He seems to have improved a lot, so I hope he can qualify for the A-division. Andres Campo will debut in the mass start A-division after being in one B-race last season and Daniel Zapata will be in the mass start B-division :)

As for today: little surprising win for Nao Kodaira in the women's 500m, where she and compatriot Maki Tsuji showed strong form already. All Dutch girls, Vanessa Herzog (ex-Bittner) and Hong Zhang were somewhat disappointing. 

 

Martina Sablikova of course won the 3000m, although Marije Joling, Ivanie Blondin and Antoinette de Jong gave a good fight. So did Ireen Wüst in a direct race against Sablikova, but as always, she lost too much time in the last 2 laps (she was ahead until then) :p 

 

Sven Kramer won the 5000m after of course a fight with Jorrit Bergsma :p  Erik Jan Kooiman had a nice fight with the very talented New Zealander Peter Michael and took 3rd place.

I don't know if it's an mistake or true (at least no news in our media) but it looks like Sebastian Druszkiewicz changed nationality to Czech :(

 

Yes he got Czech citizenship last year but ISU yet didn´t allowed him to compete untill this season.

 

edit: I see that he already competedlast January in Stavanger.

He already competed for CZE since last season. Well, he didn't compete at all in all of 2015, but at the end of last season he started competing for CZE. I guess because he has been a member of Sablikova's team for quite a while now.

So sad, we lost good skater :( Hopefully he will feel good among Czechs and will get more chances for competing in World Cups.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
