Same thing as saying nobody will ever run 100m under 9.50 seconds or a marathon under two hours or the 800m under 1:40. Yes, someone will, one day. And yes, the Elfstedentocht will one day be held again too, 'forever' is a very long time for something to not happen. It's not very realistic to think there won't be one single harsh winter in the next 100 years or so.

At the first start he moved so they had to start over, then at the start he reacted really slowly and easily lost two tenths of a second there, which made him finish in 6th.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 2, 2018 Author #28 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Holy crap In not even really good conditions, Patrick Roest just won the 5km in 6:08.98, a new track record in Heerenveen and annihilating Sven Kramer in a man-to-man fight Just for context, these were the 25 fastest ever times in Heerenveen: On the all-time list he is now tied 13th with Carl Verheijen.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 3, 2018 Author #29 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Top-5 qualifies, meaning Stollenga very surprisingly has qualified for the World Cup. That's really cool: she had so much troubles with her back, which even has been broken...then she came back, got injured again but never gave up and now it's rewarded If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
