@hckosice This is the final start list. :JPN Oshigiri, :USA Manganello, :NED Van der Weijden, :CHN Li are not on the final start list, whereas :KOR 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.

 

Thanks I´ll update it  :yes

I think it will be 1) Sablikova, 2) Wüst, 3) Takagi, but De Jong and Voronina might challenge for bronze as well.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Sablikova has been complaining about back problems, and said she barely trained for 2 months. That sounds like psychological warfare at it's most basic. 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

but it´s true, this is also the reason why she skipped the Europeans in Kolomna last month

Or she had other priorities, European championships aren't really important.

So, what...? Nobody thinks Achtereekte could snatch a medal?

 

You will never learn.

Of course she could, but it's more likely she won't :p

My pick is Wust winning the Gold medal, with Blondin and Takagi fighting up to the last skate for Silver and Bronze...

and I pick Pechstein as my "luxus outsider"...

for the Italian concerns, I hope Lollobrigida can make at least the 15th place, but I wouldn't be surprised if she just shows up and ends up last (and by miles), since she's only been talking about the Mass Start in the last 2 years or so...:facepalm:

Cool, Klevchenya is the coach of the Russian speed skaters :)

 

The person who played second fiddle in one of the most epic performances in Dutch sports history.

Dutch TV focussing on Ireen Wüst and her being in great shape to win today, because....she yawned.
