10.19 opening for Kodaira :hyper:

 

Jan Bos was slower back in the days :p 

Correct

In the 1st run of the 500m at the Nagano Olympics Bos went through 100m in 10.21

Shane Williamson's PB kicks allround legend Rintje Ritsma out of the top-50 of the infamous Adelskalenderen, the all-time allround world ranking.

World junior record was 1.44,45 by Brian Hansen in 2009. David la Rua put down a 1:44.37 in the B-division, but now Allan Dahl Johansson came along....1:43.13 :yikes:

 

Moving to 21st on the all-time list, as a junior :bowdown:

@heywoodu Why you are so surprised (I think so because you use :hyper: smiley too often) when we are on the track in Calgary which is one of the fastest in the world? :p It's rather normal that everyone are fast here and breaks their PB's and it's even not strange when we conisder that it's Olympic season where everyone want be so good as it's possible :lol:

Because most of the times they go to Calgary or Salt Lake, there are not THIS many super fast times. And Leenstra breaking the national record and setting one of the fastest ever times is not something you'd expect easy like that.

    • Found a couple of prediction websites.   This link was posted on reddit a couple of days ago by the user thevorminatheria.   The Italian sports website OA Sport also came up with their own predictions. They have a link in the article to the latest magazine issue which details all of the medalists.

Milano Cortina 2026 will be their fifth Olympic Games.    * The following are athlete roster adjustments that occurred after their respective sport’s team announcement took place. 
    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
