They shouldn't give it an all-round name if it's not an all-round competition. That's like having the speed skating all-round world championships with a 500m, 1000m and 1500m. 

 

Which is almost the case in the recent editions, isn't it?

 

They should call it "Procul Omnia Circa", since apparently Latin makes it sound so cool.

500m - 1500m - 5000m - 10.000m, nope, not really  

 

Although I'd be fine with 5000m becoming 3000m (so 500-1500-3000-10.000), as long as obviously both the shortest and longest events stay in it. Just like the omnium in track cycling should have both something very explosive and very much endurance-like

Oh, so they didn't go with that idea of dropping 5000m/10000m and introducing 1500m. Nice.

11th world title for Vogel

Chloe Dygert is not normal 

 

3:20.072 in the individual pursuit qualifying and she absolutely, completely destroyed Sarah Hammer's 2010 world record by more than two seconds

That's no biggie.

 

Explains the team pursuit final.

[dcro 10,210]

I guess this probably means that we'll actually see an overtake in the pursuit final. Hell yeah!

Van Vleuten 9 seconds behind Dygert, well goodbye medals...oooooh wait, 2nd place  

[dcro 10,210]
