Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

Thanks! Interesting to know that Knegt apparently means "to nod" in english ... :mumble:

'Knegt' is an English word or am I missing something? :p 

 

Because in Dutch it most definitely doesn't mean 'to nod', when spoken it means the same as a possible word for 'assistent/help' (which is written 'knecht', but pronounced the same).

Me too, but this win doesn't change anything about my confidence in that bet. I still think it is highly unlikely for South Korea to literally win all short track gold medals.

So are we "allowed" to talk about our predictions now?

I bet 10 points in 20 cases and 1 point in all other cases. Most of the 10 point bets were pretty obvious (no nation will win 2 golds on day 1 for example), but the last 3 or 4 were very difficult, for example whether Czech Republic will win at least 1 gold in snowboarding or whether the athlete leading men's skiathlon at half-point will eventually win it.

I used google translator dutch <-> german and it told me that knegt means "nicken", which is german for nodding. But in german "knecht" means servant.

Servant, that's the better word I was looking for but couldn't find, yes.

I guess I should be happy that the Canadians at least stayed on their feet this time around.  Not too disappointed, they will have other opportunities, but they didn't do their best that final.  Glad our women moved on in the 500m and relay, though.  

 

9 racers in a final is crazy.

Three crashes in one run :yikes:

I just saw that Anna Seidel made the 500 m quartefinal (didn't even know that she competed in this event), could some expert please tell me whether she has any chance to advance/is there something like a repechage in case you are eliminated?

I think Christie and Boutin will beat her, unless they crash?

Should we expect the following results?

Quartefinal 1:

Fontana and St Gelais advance

Quartefinal 2:

Christie and Boutin advance

Quarterfinal 3:

Kexin and Prosvirnova advance

Quarterfinal 4:

Choi and Chu advance

How will the two semifinals be put together? Athletes from Quartefinal 1 & 2 -> Semifinal 1?

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
