Kramer delivers.

 

4th and 5th place for New Zealand in one day. Cruel. Chance in speed skating is most likely gone now.

Expand  

They are a highly dangerous outsider in the pursuit with Michael, Dobbin and Kay.

4th gold for Kramer, only 8th place for Tumolero :( 

Expand  

Please don't learn from the italian "journalists" always saying only 5th, only 8th and so on....The medal chances were very low from the beginning and after the time of Pedersen and Bloemen the chances went to zero, Tumolero did a very good race 1 second behind 4th place.

But that's in the non-Olympic format. Now tactics and recovery are becoming a part of the picture and they just have no depth.

 

Mass start may be a better chance, but still unlikely with it being so random.

Well, Italy could be expected to win a men's medal (before seeing the rather bad shape) and today was one of the 4 chances for that.

Bloemen only became really successful after moving to Canada and training there. 

Expand  

Ya, that’s the thing with Bloemen. He may have been born and breed in the Netherlands, but for whatever reason the training environment in Calgary suited him a lot more than what he had in the Netherlands.

 

Honestly he might very well not have made the team at all had he stayed in the Netherlands.

I expect a 6th place for him... of course, after see Pedersen and Boleman the medal was impossible

I agree , but probably in none of the races  (mass start, team pursuit, 5000 and 10000) italian were really favourite (also before today) for the podiums,  5th or 6th places  were more likely than a medal; perhaps in mass start Giovannini, but after today i would be surprised of a podium.

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
    • Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).
    • World Cup Finals in Planica (SLO)   Men´s Team Flying Hill:   1.  Austria (Tschofenig/Fettner/Hoerl/Kraft)    1749.3 2. Germany (Geiger/Wellinger/Paschke/Eisenbichler)    1720.2 3. Slovenia (Kos/Prevc/Zajc/Lanisek)    1707.2   Full Final Result HERE
    • Matt Denny threw 68.17,possibly not what he was looking for his final meet before ramona,but we'll see how that goes.  
    • Lachlan Kennedy had a huge pb to beat gout gout over  200 meters at the maurie plant meet .
    • Sory  my mistake "99% has no problems" should be.  Apologize for this mistake. Nobody in Poland even talk about this kind of issue.
    • I have no clue who these ''99'' procent are and it's actually this annoying  superiorioty complex attitude that actually gets poles disliked here.Vilnius is OUR CAPITAL,it has been so forever,poland has no basis to have it,the fact we were once in a commenwealth does not mean you just get to declare another city yours.i don't know how you wrote this comment and expected me to have a good reacton to it.
    • Italy's bad luck again. We can't break through this season - even if we achieve some success, a slip-up comes in a moment and it's like that all the time. Today could have been gold for us if the American hadn't cut Moiola. This season is like that, let it finally end and let the next one be better for us - and above all less unlucky. We have 15x 4/5 places this winter season, with only 14 podiums and that's unlucky.
    • Dorival Junior has been fired as NT manager. No surprise. The 'Vinicius era' team is probably even worse than 'Neymar era' team
