TeamGB

Nothing like ‘saving’ the sport of athletics by putting it behind a paywall.

I think both speed skating championships this weekend have told us that need Schulting back in the short track squad.

Maybe we have different streams, the one on Youtube is definitely British. Don't know why they have different commentators than the regular season.

Commentator butchering every pronunciation.

Watching it live I thought there could be a DQ, but I doubt Anning would have beat Bol anyway. I don't know why GB was in lane 1 anyway as they were never ahead of the Dutch. From a biased hat I would say definite DQ and that had it been any other country, that would have been the case, but sometimes you've got to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I have to congratulate the Dutch on hosting an exceptional championships and they deserve all the sporting successes that came with it.

Edinburgh International Swim Meet next week, plenty of big names in action in the final big event before trials. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://eism.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Final-Programme1.pdf

What’s the point. We all know it will overrun and delay the start of the second half, making the players more prone to injury. It takes away from the actual spectacle (the football), and overall just feels like a forced way to make the game for ‘Americanised’ If you have ever watch the champions league final, then they do a flashy performace before the start of the match, and they boos alone tell you what the fans think of it.

Cornelius Kersten returns to action in the speed skating world cup in Herenveen this weekend. From what I understand, he can qualify for the world championships in a few weeks if he skates a fast enough time, currently 1:08.04 for the 1000m and 1:45.24 for the 1500m, although this would lower is other unqualified skaters meet those times. Whilst his PB's are both under that his form is a bit unknown, and Herenveen isn't the fastest track. Elia Smeding is also competing but hasn't really shown enough form this season for being in the hunt for qualifying. Both will be racing in the B-Division I presume so no live streaming.

Wow, thank's for this, never too early to get excited for LA. I'm not sure if this is viable, but I wonder if it would be possible to create some kind of google docs which we would all edit with additions as a sort of centralised database before LA. On a side note,I have my A-Levels coming up so my contributions might be a bit limited until the Summer, but I will still try and contribute when I can.

I think he said he was competing through training in preparation for the worlds.

From my calculations, GB is on 13 'proper' world cup win's this year (Figure skating and Curling don't count due to limited fields), which would be second behind the 15 in 2022-2023. This doesn't include the world championships which would give another 4 to 2023

Short track speed skating Europeans start tomorrow. All streamed on Skating ISU Youtube. Small British contingent although fielding the mens relay. Niall Treacy won silver last year although it will be difficult to compete with the Dutch and Italians.

The commentator kept saying something about saving something for a big 10km tommorow, so I guess we'll see.

I know not technically GB related but it's always nice to have a laugh before they get it horribly wrong. https://athleticsweekly.com/event-news/2025-world-athletics-champs-medal-predictions-1039996198/
