Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

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? no repechage, just the top 2 in each heat (unless you're taken down without being guilty of anything while you're in qualifying position...then you are advanced directly by the jury panel)

I think Christie and Boutin will beat her, unless they crash? in normal circumstances, yes

Should we expect the following results?

Quartefinal 1:

Fontana and St Gelais advance...I agree

Quartefinal 2:

Christie and Boutin advance...Yes

Quarterfinal 3:

Kexin and Prosvirnova advance...Kexin for sure...the other 3 are pretty equal...it will all go down to the start...the one who takes the advantage at the first curve, she has the best chance to be second (my pick is on the other Chinese girl)...

Quarterfinal 4:

Choi and Chu advance...Valcepina is stronger than Chu, but I fear her not-so-much-a-fighter attitude...once again, it's all in the start move...she has to be at the top of the race at the first curve, since Choi in any case will comeback at a later stage of the heat not being a start specialist, but being a lot faster than any other skater...

How will the two semifinals be put together? Athletes from Quartefinal 1 & 2 -> Semifinal 1? no, it will be determined by the QTRs' times...fastest, 4th, 5th and 8th in the semi #1; the others in the semi #2 (it's the standard procedure in all the short track races)...

I agree with phelps' analysis above.  

 

I am so nervous for the relay tonight.  I was so disappointed in Sochi with all the falls.  Hopefully tonight everyone stays on their feet so Canada and Korea can duke it out in the final.

I'm still disappointed about that relay final in Sochi where the Dutch team fell after a meter or 20 (around 5 centimeters too late to restart the race) :lol:

Too bad they weren't as competent as Korean women. :p

    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
    • Exactly. It's not just Simon and her theft, there are other issues as well.
    • By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.
    • If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.
    • Let's not act as if this is a thing for this season. If it didn't result in performance drama last season, it shouldn't now.
