Sven Kramer's 1st competition and we've moved out of the speed skating oval to watch Kramer arrive outside. Ugh. Can't believe i missed the highlight of the games ... Did his coach show him the right way this time or did he get lost again (i am asking in the interest of Beckert's medal chances)?

heywoodu 13,611 Posted February 11, 2018 Author #263 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Just now, thepharoah said: You have gone far beyond expectations in this sport so who do u predict for medalmen this race ? Anyone but Kramer for gold would be a big surprise, and behind him I'm going for Bloemen (although he doesn't seem that strong anymore now that they're not on high altitude) and Pedersen. Then again, the battle for bronze or even silver is rather wide open, with Bloemen, Blokhuijsen, Beckert, Tumolero, Pedersen, Geisreiter and even Michael all having a chance (one bigger than the other of course) to get on the podium behind Kramer. thepharoah 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,611 Posted February 11, 2018 Author #264 Share Posted February 11, 2018 By the way, today it's exactly 50 years since the first Dutch gold medal in speed skating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_skating_at_the_1968_Winter_Olympics_–_Women's_1000_metres Just a random fact during the break.

Not to worry, if you can watch the Dutch stream you can still undoubtedly see Kramer sitting on an indoor bike! That's sensational too, can't miss that! And there's a 10k yet to come, he'll enter the stadium another time, 100% sure that'll be shown as well, one highlight after the other!

I think there will be problems with the rights, considering half the world of course paid millions of dollars for 30 seconds of commercials around these images.
