Plus 6:42.01 in the 5km, breaking another world record. That is quite rare and rather exceptional
Sablikova took the world title, Wüst finished off the podium after 12 consecutive podium finishes since her 4th place in 2006. Patrick Roest defended his men's world title.
After the first 15 starters or so I generally skip through 30 seconds per click (Eurosport Player) and if someone is way slower on the splits I skip to the next athlete, but that's a bit hard if you can't see whether or not someone is slower or not
I've started watching (saw the women's 5k classic, biathlon individuals and women's super-G so far) and one thing that highly irritates me: during the alpine skiing races they show the split times and then remove them, so they don't stay in-picture like in the World Cups
You realize how cool TISC actually is when you're in the train listening to some music on your phone and Electric Avenue comes by and you still know the entire melody even if it's more than a year ago since you've heard it
Didn't he have dealings with a shady doctor two years ago or something? I kinda like Kittel by the way, so I do hope he didn't let himself be convinced to pay this dude a visit
That list is vague. There's one dude who posted it on Twitter, 8 hours ago with no reaction or whatsoever. It looks more like he just took a list of all Austrians
Erfurt is the city where the German doping doctor is based, yes. Also a major speed skating town.
By the way, the German doctor (ex-Gerolsteiner ) used the machines previously used by Austrian doping doctor Stefan Matschiner (that blood transfusion equipment was apparently bought and paid for by Michael Boogerd, Bernard Kohl and Michael Rasmussen back in the day )
Meh, wouldn't wanna be the coach who has to pick the names.
Lavreysen, Hoogland, Büchli, Van 't Hoenderdaal, Van den Berg and Bos could all be part of a gold medal winning team sprint team..I'd go for the first three if I had to choose, but damn
I think the Olympics were a year too early for Bos, but I seem to remember he was definitely world class before Athens. Sure, not as dominant as Lavreysen and Hoogland now, true
How many sprinters (team sprint, individual sprint, keirin) can a nation send to the Olympics?

7:42, Dominik Landertinger training with Max Hauke and his coach...not gonna be surprised if that's one of the next names
Changing a system or not, I'd just like to thank @wumo26 for taking the time to organize it, I like regular prediction contests, but am an even bigger fan of stuff like 'special' bet contests
