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

    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
