German commentator just said that Voronina improved her PB by 37 seconds in the last 2 years ... ? Can't be true right?

Well, i think that it's finished! All-Dutch podium!

Damn, something about the Dutch performing well at the Olympics regardless of how the season has went.

 

Tough go for Blondin today

I wouldn't be so fast. Sablikova is out of shape and no one else was expected to beat them. Let's see how the other competitions go.

Edit: Reminds me of GB in track cycling ...

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

 

You will never learn.

I hope you predicted this result?

Glad i didn't bet 10 points on the dutch not sweeping anything, although i thought that it would maybe happen at men's 1000/1500 m.

4 years ago the dutch won only 1 medal in this event, so are we on track for 25 dutch medals at least? Given the russian absence in men's 1000/1500 m, they should probably shoot for 30 medals.

Come on, i know you can do it!

Do you know whether she will also compete at the 5000 m? I hope not, otherwise Pechstein won't really have a chance to medal ...

It's Visser and van der Weijden for 5000m, unless they change (which I doubt).
