Excited for the first big international competition of the season. Normally speaking, all titles will be split between the Russians and the Dutch, but I'm hoping for some surprises. 

 

Perhaps :BLR Ignat Golovatsiuk can pull off a surprise in the men's sprint tournament. The 500m times he has skated in Minsk this season have been very solid.

 

I'm also curious to see what :SWE Nils van der Poel can do, especially on the longer distances. I hope he qualifies for the final 10.000 meters, especially after that impressing time in Inzell.

Looking at the number of competitors from each country I would love to see an Polish skater with medal but big number of skaters doesn't mean that we are good at all at this moment. I'm hoping for at least one top8 place.

I think the Russians won't take this tournament too seriously, so perhaps that's where there is a chance for them. The Polish skaters have had quite a number of internal competitions this year, which might benefit them in this weird season.

I wanted to make a prediction for all four tournaments, but I don't have time to look at all the participants.

 

However, this is my prediction for the women's allround tournament:

 

  1. :NED Antoinette de Jong
  2. :CZE Martina Sáblíková
  3. :RUS Evgeniia Lalenkova
  4. :RUS Natalia Voronina
  5. :NED Irene Schouten
  6. :POL Karolina Bosiek
  7. :RUS Elizaveta Golubeva
  8. :ITA Francesca Lollobrigida
  9. :NED Joy Beune
  10. :CZE Nikola Zdráhalová
  11. :POL Natalia Czerwonka
  12. :BLR Ekaterina Sloeva
  13. :POL Magdalena Czyszczoń
  14. :NOR Sofie Karoline Haugen
  15. :NOR Ida Njåtun
  16. :NOR Ragne Wiklund
  17. :GER Mareike Thum
  18. :GER Leia Marie Behlau
  19. :ITA Linda Rossi
  20. :EST Kristiine Kalev

I'm pretty sure of my top 5. Bosiek will only finish top 8 if she wins the 500m by a good margin, otherwise she'll finish 9th and Joy Beune will take her spot in the top 8. Czerwonka and Zdrahalova can also finish top 8 if Lollobrigida doesn't skate a good 3.000m. It's almost impossible to predict what Lollobrigida can do here as she has only skated two minor outdoor competitions this season.

 

And some predictions for the podium per distance, just for fun. These are even more difficult to predict this season:

 

500m: 

  1. :POL Karolina Bosiek
  2. :BLR Ekaterina Sloeva
  3. :RUS Elizaveta Golubeva

1.500m:

  1. :RUS Evgeniia Lalenkova
  2. :RUS Elizaveta Golubeva
  3. :NED Antoinette de Jong

3.000m:

  1. :CZE Martina Sáblíková
  2. :NED Antoinette de Jong
  3. :RUS Natalia Voronina

5.000m:

  1. :CZE Martina Sáblíková
  2. :RUS Natalia Voronina
  3. :NED Antoinette de Jong

  17. :NOR Bjørn Magnussen

      That’s good news. There’s been no mention of the team in the local papers at all. If they go, I think they’ll be the first Philippine athletes to represent the country in a team event at the World Games.

      No, Lake Placid won the bid to be the back-up host over St Moritz and Igls. I don’t believe any other track expressed interest.

      With the 2024 Bolivarian Games done and dusted, I thought it'd be a good time to look at next year's slate of international multi-sport games. Here's what I have written down on my personal schedule:   January 13 January 23 Winter University Games February 6 February 17 Invictus Games February 7 February 14 Asian Winter Games February 9 February 16 Winter EYOF March 23 March 30 CISM Winter World Games May 17 May 30 World Masters Games May 26 May 31 Games of Small States of Europe June 27 July 6 World Police and Fire Games June 29 July 9 Pacific Mini Games July 11 July 20 Junior Pan American Games July 12 July 18 Island Games July 16 July 27 Summer University Games July 20 July 26 Summer EYOF August 7 August 17 The World Games October 18 October 30 Central American Games November 15 November 26 Summer Deaflympics December 9 December 20 SEA Games TBC TBC Islamic Solidarity Games TBC TBC Asian Youth Games   I'm not sure about the status of the Caribbean Games and Central American and Caribbean Beach Games, so those might eventually find a spot on the calendar as well (I just haven't seen anything confirmed yet.)

      That's basically the worst way you could call pictograms. Who cares about (solid) okay pictograms ? They will be forgotten the day after.

      and of course we can still go for some more shopping in the AHL and the main European Leagues (where a few good players with Italian heritage play)...

      looking at Today's NHL Rosters, this is a list of player that surely would be eligible to play for  (even if many of them have already played at the World Champs/Olympics for  /  in the past, sometime recent past)   Forwards   Adam Fantilli (Columbus) Kyle Palmieri (NY Islanders) Noel Acciari (Pittsburgh) Philip Tomasino (Pittsburgh) Andrew Mangiapane (Washington) Sonny Milano (Washington) Joe Veleno (Detroit) Michael Pezzetta (Montreal) Michael Amadio (Ottawa) Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay) Max Domi (Toronto) Max Pacioretty (Toronto) Tyler Bertuzzi (Chicago) Ryan Donato (Chicago) Nick Foligno (Chicago) Matt Boldy (Minnesota) Marcus Foligno (Minnesota) Luke Evangelista (Nashville) Michael Carcone (Utah) Matias Maccelli (Utah) Alex Iafallo (Winnipeg) Cole Perfetti (Winnipeg) Gabriel Vilardi (Winnipeg) Robby Fabbri (Anaheim) Frank Vatrano (Anaheim) Troy Terry (Anaheim) ??? Matt Coronato (Calgary) Anthony Mantha (Calgary) Macklin Celebrini (San Josè) Ty Dellandrea (San Josè) Tyler Toffoli (San Josè)   D-Men   Dante Fabbro (Columbus) Brett Pesce (New Jersey) Victor Mancini (NY Rangers) Brandon Carlo (Boston) Ben Chiarot (Detroit) Steven Santini (Tampa Bay) Mathew Dumba (Dallas) Nick Leddy (St.Louis) Robert Bortuzzo (Utah) Sean Durzi (Utah) Alec Regula (Edmonton) Cody Ceci (San Josè) Mario Ferraro (San Josè) Alex Pietrangelo (Las Vegas)   Goalies   Drew Commesso (Chicago) Joel Hofer (St.Louis) ???   but I'm pretty sure that there are a few more with Italian heritage coming from their moms and/or wives (Canadiens' Josh Anderson, for instance)...
