Winter Universiade 2017

Btw, it won't feel like a real 10000m race until someone gets lapped.

Isn't it unfair for the latter athletes when the snow piles on the ice? 

 

That's why officials are busy basically every lap with things to clear the snow away, something I've really not seen often at international competitions

Not gonna happen, Ghiotto is skating against one of 2-3 others who could stay within half a minute of him  

[heywoodu 16,003]

And then all of a sudden, the 5th race only has one skater 

 

I mean, normally when there's an uneven amount of skaters they have the first race with only one skater..this is just weird  (and it's not like someone DNS'ed, since on the start list they already had this too)

15:01,34, we have moved up to the 70's in terms of world record times 

 

They're at the times of our most legendary duo 'Ard and Keessie', Schenk and Verkerk who were always best of friends and won so many medals

I think they removed someone who withdrew overnight (and did not write DNS).

Ghiotto vs Heidegger, time for some serious skating now

Ghiotto lapped Heidegger, it's now a real 10k in dcro's mind

Sadly I missed that as I switched to bobsleigh.
