Guess I need a tutorial for this sport. :d

 

It's ridiculous. In the final there is no need to pay attention to those intermediate sprints whatsoever, unless you care for 4th place. 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the line get medals. Winning all intermediate sprints gets you 4th place...

 

In the semis meanwhile getting any points in the int. sprints is likely enough to qualify.

Why are the points needed, why can't it just be a regular mass start

 

It's a big mystery. :lol:

 

I'm afraid neither I, or @heywoodu, or any other speed skating follower can give an answer to that. :p Except the stuff like: "ISU has lost its mind."
