Speed skater finishes 0,01 second behind the fastest time: "Not quite good enough"

Speed skater finishes several seconds behind the fastest time: "Just shy of the gold medal position"

 

Ah, the generic English commentators with zero experience with the sports they're commentating on :p 

 

I can't count the amount of times I've heard "and he/she is now rrrrreally pushing hard!" in the final lap (as if they're not pushing hard earlier) or "It's starting to look like he/she is in a little bit of pain now!" in the last meters. Those commentators really win every single gold medal in the kicking-in-an-open-door-competition :p 

 

They're also unbelievably bad in reading lap times :d 1500m, rider goes from 27.0 to 28.3 or so the next lap, being 3 seconds under the currently fastest time, whose rider had a 30.x final lap. Meaning the rider would have to totally collapse from 28.3 to 33-34 seconds within a lap, which just isn't happening at all, but still, the commentator goes all "will he be able to set the fastest time!?" when he literally has 5 seconds left for the last 10 meters :d

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
