Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2017 - 2018

[heywoodu 15,166]

12:53.63 for Davide Ghiotto  

 

Of course, it's in the B division so it's easier to go faster because they start with 4 per race instead of 2 (on opposide sides of the track), but still, that's impressive.

Again a dicrimination for 10000m.

Only for the B division. And not 'again'

very good result by Ghiotto...good 8 seconds better than his old PB (13.01, when he was 5th in the World Champs in Gangneung last Spring)...

not bad also the 13.05 by Giovannini and to be noticed also the 1min13secs improvement by Bugari (this is his first season of real committment to speedskating on the ice, he comes from roller skating as almost all our guys)...

Victory for Pechstein.

How can they decide 10000m by time when B division has an advantage?

As heywoodu explained earlier.

 

There is more drag for them.

Is that the case for all B division races or just the 5000/10000m?

I believe just the 5 and 10k (and only the women's 5k, not the men's, but I'm not sure about that)
