phelps 6,536 Posted December 8, 2019 #84 Share Posted December 8, 2019 this week we had a totally different outcome than the Nagoya WC stage... if in Japan dominated the field, this time we had an extreme balance final medal table, with 5 Nations ( Canada, China, Hungary, Netherlands and South Korea) winning 2 Gold Medals each, meanwhile Russia took the 11th and last one... with Arianna fontana back home, this time Italy won "only" a bronze medal...pretty disappointing performance in any case, as there were 2 500m races, where Martina Valcepina should have done a lot better...

In at least one of them Valcepina was launched into the barriers 100% outside of her own fault (she would have gotten at least bronze, most likely). 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!

heywoodu 13,503 Posted February 8, 2020 #87 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Ren Ziwei took the 1500m win in Dresden by launching an all-out attack in the first lap, nearly lapping everyone and holding on for dear life until the finish That was rather epic, I've rarely seen someone in short track skating where you could almost visibly see his legs burn as much as Ren's legs in the last laps.

Have seen that done before! An Israeli (well, probably Russian) guy - can’t remember his name - did the same thing a couple of years ago. Lapped the field in the first 2-3 laps, but crucially settled into the back of the peleton and then hung on easily in the final of a World Cup 1500m race.

phelps 6,536 Posted February 8, 2020 #89 Share Posted February 8, 2020 yeah, in the 3000m superfinal of the all-round global championships it happens once every while... it's way more uncommon instead in the shorter individual distances... it was nice to watch the race, in any case...something unusual is always welcome!
