Does anyone know where I could find a livestream for the first day of the World Cup? Eurovision is only showing the last two days.

Usually only final days have been broadcasted in past seasons so it will be probably the same this time.

well, the girls 500m don't look that promising...2 out of 4 finalists are once again from KOR...Fontana and St.Gelais will have a difficult race with those 2 (by the way, the Canadian should have been disqualified in the first semifinal...she clearly used her hands to keep Christie behind at the start)...

and the boys short distance isn't that different...2 Koreans, the Chinese Wu and local hero Liu will battle for the win in this first WC stage...

well, finally it was local hero Shaolin Sandor Liu to break Korea's dominance, meanwhile in the women's 500m Korea won the gold, with Fontana good second...

That's my simulation of Olympic quotas after Budapest. If you can please check, if I'm correct.
