And Shouten isn't qualify  It's so sad

Not in the 3km, she'll be in the mass start unless something extremely weird happens. That chance is maybe 0,1%, so no worries.

Isn't she already qualified for the mass start? She is already number 8 on the list, and 10 go.

Of course, but I expected that she was able to compete in 3k too

Nah, she had a chance for 3rd place but Wüst and De Jong were to be expected in the top-2

TV production for this is very good, certainly heads and solders better than the US or Canadian trials for most winter sports (with the exception of the Curling trials for Canada - which is arguably a better event than the Olympic tournament - and the figure skating trials for the US).

It's very nice see that speed skating is so popular in Netherlands and it's great see that the stadium is completly full (and a ticket price is around 60 euro, in Italy we have an empty stadium and the entry is free )

I mean it’s a bit kore than just that. Everything from the graphics to the camera angles is better than what they have on the world cup.

 

When Canada and the US have their selections we’re going to have a couple cameras and crapy generic graphics.
