Everything will be fixed once the Official Start list will be unveiled.

 

Now we have all start lists in your Schedule post in the opening page of the thread, so when the entries will be confirmed I can immediately and easily repair them

Wow, 37.05 for Nao Kodaira in today's test race, new world record for low altitude 

[heywoodu 16,468]

 

Verweij - 36.00

Lorentzen - 34.94 (fastest man)

Yamanaka - 34.95 (but hit a cone, so would be disqualified in a normal race)

Das - 38.8

no, not at all...

 

it's 3 per NOC in all individual events except for the women's 5000m/men's 10000m and the Mass Start Races, where only 2 athletes per NOC are allowed to start...

and of course there's only 1 team per NOC in the team pursuit (but this is quite obvious)...

Oh, Sven Kramer had a world record (low altitude) in the 3000m earlier this week in Gangneung, and Bergsma was rather fast as well considering 3k is rather short for him. Bloemen was less impressive.

Are there any results of this "test race"?

So far only those reported on Twitter, but I'm hoping someone will take a photo of a printed result or something  (and eventually it'll be on speedskatingresults I suppose)

@hckosice This is the final start list.  Oshigiri,  Manganello,  Van der Weijden,  Li are not on the final start list, whereas  Kim is.

 

Looking at the season so far, there are no clear favorites for this event. The favorites are in the 4 final pairs, though. Many women who can win a medal, so this could be an exciting first speed skating event.
