Pechstein has now confirmed in a press conference that she will indeed continue skating for four more years. She'll turn 50 in February 2022.

"But I still have one chance", isn't that supposed to mean the mass start?   (even though I do believe she'll try and continue for another four years, and given her recent results, why not)

Yeah, this video is only one clip of her press conference. That one chance is indeed the mass start, but she also stated that she will announce the end of her career ... in four years.

On the one hand i think people should be "allowed" to do a sport as long as they enjoy it, on the other hand i dont really think she does herself a favor. If she isnt competitive now, she will be much less competitive in 4 years, of course its also sad that she would be good enough to make the olympics team in every nation except for the Netherlands. I still think this might be a joke of her, i believe it when i see it.
