That has never been a problem, at all...until ISU started adding bullcrap like the team sprint. Just took a random world single distance championships of the past two decades: Day 1: Men's 500m, both runs Men's 5000m Women's 1500m Day 2: Men's 1500m Women's 500m, both runs Women's 3000m Day 3: Men's 1000m Men's 10.000m Women's 1000m Women's 5000m No problem at all, not a single day had a serious risk of any athletes getting in trouble. dcro 1 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 13,540 Posted January 11, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wow, 19-year old Femke Kok, still relatively unknown, throws down a 37.66 As Dutch women go, only Margot Boer (37.64) has ever been faster outside of high altitude and overall only ten women have ever been faster in Heerenveen. Wow, she comes from 38.14 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!

Dutch juniors are not very much known for being fantastic That usually comes a little later. Also: breaking a (junior) world record in Heerenveen, while said WR was set in SLC, that's quite something.
