@heywoodu What's up with these "talentNED" suits? :lol:

 

Pretentious as hell.

TalentNED is just some talent development programme in sports and business (or something), which happened to get together with a speed skating team needing a sponsor :p 

 

Anyway it's a commercial team, not the slogan of the Dutch or something :p

Also: gold for Pedersen/Norway in a long distance after 16 billion years :hyper::woohoo:

please, can someone explain to me the sense of the so-called Team Sprint? (which basically has nothing to do with real sprint performances, except for the first lap/skater) :facepalm:

 

meanwhile, looking at the more traditional races, I'm very disappointed by today's performance by Francesca Lollobrigida...she started definitely too quick and she was already dead after 3 laps...:nopompom:

she did show a lot of progress in the "classic" distances this year, but once again she missed out when it mattered most...:facepalm::wall:

 

among the boys, pretty average result for the Italian team...more or less it all went according to the preview...maybe Ghiotto was even a bit better than expected...let's see if he can get something big in "his" 10000m...

That's not true, the second lap is still definitely a sprinter :p (500m and 1000m are the sprint distances)

By the way, I can't stress enough how absolutely epic Pedersen's race was. That was utterly insane and one of the best pieces of skating I've ever seen.

let's say it for the "long" sprinters...I don't think a pure 500m specialist can survive the second lap...

 

however, it's the entire race that doesn't have a lot of sense to me (p.s. don't tell me of the track cycling Team Sprint event)...

Which is why a pure 500m specialist will be the first position in the team, but that doesn't change that 1000m is still considered a sprint :p 

 

I don't feel too bad or good about the event, kinda neutral about it. Better than the baby mass start ISU put on the Olympic program :p

Much more exciting to me with a number of outsiders in the early pairs and the favorites in the last pairs.

 

With the team pursuits also being skated today, I expect a lot of medals for :JPN
