At this point I just hope Japan wins only 6 women's golds in Pyeongchang, not all 7.

With the 7th going to any Dutch in the mass start, just because it would be fun to see ISU add an event to increase the chance of non-Dutch gold medals, only for it to be won by the Dutch  

 

I'm hoping for Kodaira in the 500 and 1000, Takagi in the 1500 and 3000, Antoinette in de 5000 and don't really care about the team pursuit or mass start.

Some nice throwback pictures on Dutch TV from 2007: Enrico Fabris stole Kramer's WR in Salt Lake City (Kramer finished a few 1/100 slower), Kramer was MAD AS FLYING FUCK all week (Erben Wennemars: "He was walking around like a mad bull all week") and ended that week by utterly destroying Fabris' record in Calgary

It's interesting how Calgary announcer always mentions national records A LOT.

Rumyantsev breaking his PR by 3,5 seconds, he probably injected an entire pharmacy to post one insane time before ISU bans him like the IOC already did
