Sjinkie, dude 

 

That was too much, penalty incoming. 

I love the indignation from Sjinke, he’a a great skater but he seems to have a rather... agressive personality xD

All three Koreans in Q1 of the men's 1000m.  There goes their hope to sweep.  

 

On the bright side, they're guaranteed at least one to the semi-finals.

I just saw the race... Kim ran into Boutin's lane causing her dq. It was 100% justified.

Yeah he's not someone who keeps his cool easily  

 

I mean, in a race, he definitely can, but his reactions...nah. Example of keeping his cool in a race: even at this Olympics half the field went down but he stayed perfectly calm, barely moved and escaped without trouble.

I thought it was for pulling Fontana's arm back at the finish?

no, the DSQ came for "impeding" (I saw the judges' screen in the pictures when they re-watched the race), so It can't be for any of the moves between her and Arianna...

I guess @intoronto has given the right interpretation to this situation...still, I don't agree with the fact that her DSQ were justified (as they were not many of the impeding calls in both the ST sessions so far)...

c'mon! this is ST, not a "stay in your lane and run against the clock only" discipline...

Meh disappointed, I really wanted to see Korea winning all gold to make everyone here go nuts.

Watched 1000m heats now... It's just ridiculous for what they are giving penalties.

What do you mean? That everyone would have been angry about them sweeping the golds?
