She beat everyone who finished behind her yesterday and managed to beat 4 more, beautifully done

All of a sudden they're including the 5k classic in the FIS points calculation?! That can't be right (or even remotely fair), they should look only at today's 5k time like they normally do..

Snow at the speed skating at the legendary Medeo track 

 

I wish they'd have a major international competition in these kind of conditions ever again..

Ah that was just a mistake, on FIS' website they've done it right and there I also see that out of 62 athletes, Bruna had the 45th time, just...wow

The 1500m women's track record is still held by Karin Kania, I didn't think I'd ever again see speed skating on a track where the current records were set by athletes I only know of the stories from long ago before I was born

Are you sure it's Karin Kania? It could be Karin Enke, Karin Busch or Karin Richter too?

Karin Enke-Richter now, Karin Kania (or Enke-Kania or Kania-Enke) at that time  

 

Kania is how she's known at least here in the Netherlands

Biathlon production is quite awful. They are just showing the people in the stands and the current leaders.
