That was great for Causil.

According to the OBS commentator, it's "almost impossible" to take over the lead in 500m if you are 0.2 behind at 100m...

I don't think so. In 2nd heat he had the better ice than those at the top, and still wasn't a clear medal favorite just judging by that run. Also, if he hadn't skipped most of the season then he wouldn't have had 1500000 runs on this track...

Erin Hamlin is commentating, finally some remotely familiar sliding commentator.

I already have Despacito stuck in my ears thanks to ice dancing, and now the track DJ has the nerve to play it here too.

Walther drops from 1st to 5th.

Women's combined has been moved to one day before, so it will coincide with men's slalom...

Kripps

Maybe a medal chance for Bowe/Bergsma...

I've just about had enough of this OBS commentator who calls every speed skater with multiple Olympic medals "Great Champion", including Pechstein...

There used to be two races, with all athletes racing in both lanes and the total time counting. But it has been changed, as IOC likes to push their "let's make everything extra simple" nonsense.

Favorites... Here we go... Boisvert-Lacroix, Poutala, Verbij, Lorentzen, Mulder, Ihle, Cha, Junio, Dubreiul, Smeekens, Koskela, Japanese. Pretty much all of them could win. Maybe I missed someone, @heywoodu should know.

Apparently not, Koreans somehow got into the team event.

Koreans will have their nordic combiner in the team. That will be painful.

Meanwhile, the Swiss crushed the Swedes. This tournament is becoming quite exciting.

Aaaand it's loss number 3 for Canada. I wonder if their teams will swap once again now.

No parrot was harmed in making of Poirier's costume.

3 Despacitos in one group might be pushing it just a bit.

Love the atmosphere of these latin dances.

Abramenko Luckily nobody got seriously injured in this, so that's good. At least from what I've heard.

Annual 2018 Goes Live

Well, at this point I'll take every Danish victory.

Meanwhile, I remembered one athlete that was like Sang-hwa Lee. Pyros Dimas won gold medals in 1992, 1996 and 2000. But then "only" bronze in 2004.

So what, all medalist in speed skating speak Dutch? Even that American Krueger with silver in ST yesterday trains with the Dutch.
