    Cruel way for Letita de Jong to be bumped off the team. Still, she is definitively the least deserving of the 11 on the selection matrix. Edit: Also I get Bergsma is going to get to do the 5000m anyway xD

    We are pretty dang far from the total from LA. Looking at golds and even ignoring '84 we need eight to have an all time high. That's pretty tough.

    Does this result mean Achtereekte and Das are qualified? Edit: to answer my own question, Achtereekte is officially qualified, Das still isn't.
  4. NearPup
    I'm sure Wust and de Jong will have a ton of fun rooming together, too

    31 year old Anice Das wins the 500m and will almost certainly qualify for her first Olympics. Marrit Leenstra is second, Letitia de Jong third.

    Today's live stream, women's 500m and men's 10000m: https://nos.nl/livestream/2208775-okt-schaatsen-500-m-v-10-km-m.html

    It is a very rich country favored requirement. Not that anyone has ever accused winter sports of being elitist.
  8. NearPup
    This is listed as a requirement to be admited as an ISU member: in existence in the country one or more actively operating natural or artificial ice rinks of a size adequate to practice the respective ISU sport discipline. Because a member needs to control the sport in their country for at least two years before before being admited as a provisional member it would be almost impossible for Ntab to compete for Senegal in 2022.
  9. NearPup
    By ISU rules I don’t believe he can unless an ice rink is built in Senegal.

    He looked so nervous. Too bad :/

    I mean it’s a bit kore than just that. Everything from the graphics to the camera angles is better than what they have on the world cup. When Canada and the US have their selections we’re going to have a couple cameras and crapy generic graphics.
  12. NearPup
    TV production for this is very good, certainly heads and solders better than the US or Canadian trials for most winter sports (with the exception of the Curling trials for Canada - which is arguably a better event than the Olympic tournament - and the figure skating trials for the US).

    Isn't she already qualified for the mass start? She is already number 8 on the list, and 10 go.
  14. NearPup
    May I claim Jamaica?
  15. NearPup
    Are they going to make Bergsma a reserve again?
  16. NearPup
    My guess is that the other continental quotas will he given out as part of the world surfing games or the tour.

    The Netherlands is not going to be anywhere it's once in a generation 2014 performance. Japan is currently the strongest nation on the women's side and will probably win 3 golds (500, 1000, 1500 and team pursuit) and the men's team, while still the best in the world, isn't as dominant as it was in 2014. I'll go on a limb here and say that I'm going to be very surprised if the Dutch get a sweep.

    Logo's whatever. It's not really any worse than any of the recent logos. At this point I feel like the "look of the games" maters a lot more. Beijing 2008 had a meh logo but a great look, hopefully 2022 will be the same.

    Ya. I was hoping he wasn’t involved in all this. I guess the silver lining for me is that Canada is going to get it’s first luge medal, though under the worst of circumstances.
  20. NearPup
    Albert Demtschenko and Tatyana Ivanova have been found guilty of doping and disqualified. This means Russia will lose it’s men’s singles and team relay silvers. Vancouver 2010 medalists Nikita Kryukov and Ivan Skobrev have also been found guilty of doping (but will not lose their 2010 medals).
  21. NearPup
    Even if the suspension isnlifted during the Olympics the medals won under OAR will not count as “Russian” for record keeping purposes.

    It currently is for alpine skiing. In snowboarding the top 16 from each course qualifies for the second preliminary round, and the top 16 combined times from both courses make it through.
  23. NearPup
    They could just limit the number of qualifiers to 16 like in alpine snowboarding...
  24. NearPup
    I just don’t understand why they have two runs for the Ro32 but only one rum afterwards...
  25. NearPup
    Ya, I think Anthony Joshua deserved that one. This wasn't even that good a year by Mo's standards.
