Finished 4th in fact, won 2 intermediate sprints it seems.

 

Apparently she sprinted like a crazy woman for that knowing that 4th place guarantees Olympic qualification.

She didn't exactly sprint like crazy, she just moved away in a normal pace where the rest wasn't feeling like doing anything

Both mass start finals where just embarrassing. I think most of the field didn’t care, it’s like everyone agreed just making the finals (and the world cup points that came with it) was good enough.

Under the rules on Russian participation Pavel Kulizhnikov and Denis Yuskov are barred from the Olympics

34.92 for Pedro Causil in the B division in SLC, meaning history: the first South American ever to get under the all-important 35-second barrier

Why organizers decided to clean ice during competition, when still are 4 pairs to finish event?

OK I've seen the team list now.

There is major suspicion that one of them will be banned from the Olympics when the IOC make their next announcements.
