Still, it's very weird to have 1.04 separating 1st and 2nd, and 1.03 separating 2nd and 17th. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 15, 2020 #247 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The last time a Russian man skated a WR in the 1000m, it was 1:12.58 (Igor Zhelezovski, counting Soviet-Union instead of Belarus for Russia here) 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!

I know that’s probably offensive to Belorussians, but prove me wrong. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

phelps 6,531 Posted February 15, 2020 #249 Share Posted February 15, 2020 lovely Jutta Leerdam surprises all the favourites in the women's 1000m and no WR in this race (even if the Dutch girl was really close to it)... super-disappointing race by Bowe and Kodaira...especially the American...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 15, 2020 #250 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow, Jutta (pronounced 'Utah' basically) wins gold in Utah. Not the biggest fan in the world of these athletes who like themselves a little too much or at least come across like that, but she is a phenomenal rider 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!
