OlympicsFan 781 Posted February 8, 2019 #22 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Great winner, super fast times! As someone who has been supporting Bittner for many years now i am very excited about this, winning on her home track must be very special for her. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted February 8, 2019 #23 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Nice surprises so far this tournament with Pedersen winning and Herzog beating Kodaira. Although I really like Kodaira, it’s good to see someone breaking her dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted February 8, 2019 #24 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Insane men’s 500m: 19 men under 35 seconds. And another surprising winner! Loving these championships so far. No Dutch winner on an individual distance so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted February 9, 2019 #25 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Draws for today: Women's 5.000m: Magdalena Czyszczon - Elena Sokhryakova Carien Kleibeuker - Lemi Williamson Nene Sakai - Claudia Pechstein Isabelle Weidemann - Esmee Visser Maryna Zuyeva - Natalia Voronina Martina Sáblíková - Ivanie Blondin Kleibeuker can always surprise, Pechstein didn't compete in the 3.000m and I'm not sure why that was, Weidemann has been doing great all season, Visser just skated a PB and Sáblíková and Voronina did great on the 3.000m. Could be the first individual gold for the Dutch with Visser winning. Men's 1.000m: Yuto Fujino - Jin-Su Kim Marten Liiv - Piotr Michalski Laurent Dubreuil - Kimani Griffin Denis Yuskov - Mathias Vosté Allan Dahl Johansson - Zhongyan Ning Masaya Yamada - Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu Joey Mantia - Tatsuya Shinhama Tae-Yun Kim - Nico Ihle Joel Dufter - Ignat Golovatsiuk Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen - Thomas Krol Kai Verbij - Viktor Mushtakov Kjeld Nuis - Pavel Kulizhnikov Yuskov in pair 4 already, which is definitely an outsider and could put the pressure on the rest, but the favorites are in the last three pairs. The 500m has shown that everyone can win as the level was insane. Women's 1.000m: Yu-Ting Huang - Sanneke de Neeling Anne Gulbrandsen - Noemi Bonazza Hyun-Yung Kim - Gabriele Hirschbichler Kimi Goetz - Heather Mclean Xin Zhao - Jingzhu Jin Hege Bøkko - Antoinette de Jong Natalia Czerwonka - Maki Tsuji Yekaterina Aydova - Qishi Li Jutta Leerdam - Yekaterina Shikhova Miho Takagi - Olga Fatkulina Brittany Bowe - Nao Kodaira Daria Kachanova - Vanessa Herzog Bowe, Takagi and Leerdam are the only three with a sub 1:14 time this year, but Kodaira is the WR holder. Shikhova and Li are outsiders for me. Herzog is usually better at the 500m, but the world title might have given her wings. Excited to see how this pans out. Men's 10.000m: Takahiro Ito - Ryosuke Tsuchiya Michele Malfatti - Graeme Fish Ole Bjørnsmoen Næss - Peter Michael Jorrit Bergsma - Alexander Rumyantsev Patrick Beckert - Davide Ghiotto Danila Semerikov - Patrick Roest The top 11 skaters on the 10.000m this year are all Dutch with Bergsma leading the world ranking, but his 5.000m was poor. First non-Dutch skater is Fish, but he skated his time on the fast track of Calgary. Beckert, Rumyantsev and Tsuchiya are next and could all challenge for a medal.

heywoodu 13,536 Posted February 9, 2019 #28 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Didn't Pechstein skip the 3k to focus on the 5k because of some back issues? A quick search also brought up something about the European court for human rights and something they said shortly before the world champs, but I am really not interested enough in the whole Pechstein drama to spend time on reading that in German 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!

Almost as rare as falling in a 10km six laps before the end while very much on the way to a rare world allround title (Pedersen in Amsterdam a few years ago) 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!
