    Yeah in that factor it's most likely not different from any other sport, but pretty much everyone agrees that these specific weeks are because of top shape and top ice, otherwise they'd have been way faster in the run-up to the Olympics instead of in the non-important post-Olympic season.

    1:40.17, meh

    Quite a bad comparison, since in swimming they did so with suits that became illegal after a while. Here everything falls into place (top shape, top conditions, everything), which might happen again even though it'd take some years.

    Patrick Roest is the new all-time world leader, after Shani Davis has held that position for a LONG time.

    Only 22 years ago Ids Postma was the first man to do so

    Well if Takagi goes sub-1:50, it's up to the men to go sub-1:40
  7. heywoodu
    In 1987, Karin Kania was the first ever to go sub-2:00 In 2001, Anni Friesinger was the first ever to go sub-1:55 In 2005, Cindy Klassen was the first ever to go sub-1:53 AND sub-1:52 In 2015, Heather Bergsma was the first ever to go sub-1:51 In 2019, Miho Takagi is the first ever to go sub-1:50

    Kelly Catlin, 23 years old, has ended her life this weekend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Catlin Olympic silver and three world titles, all in the team pursuit.

    Brittany Bowe shatters Heather Bergsma's 1500m WR, pretty cool after shitloads of injuries, random nearly-faintings and other weird and painful stuff.
  11. heywoodu
    Here we go for day 2. The only record I really hope for is Ireen Wüst to break the 1500m WR, since that has always been a big dream of hers and it'd be really cool to do it as sort of a memory for Paulien van Deutekom (who's stuff is being auctioned these days to fund the fight against lung cancer).

    They do that all the freaking time. Same for World Cups or something (and same for FIL in the luge). IBSF is by far the best: live streams on YouTube (bonus points for best platform), with neutral thumbnails (bonus points for no spoilers) and replayable after it's finished (bonus points for being able to watch whenever you want).

    Dutch video
  14. heywoodu
    Playing judge and changing the results yourself?
  15. heywoodu
    Yeah, and I really doubt he'd be considered more of a winner than someone who won tons of World Cups but happened to not make it at the Olympics
  16. heywoodu
    Lol, this Johaug show.
  17. heywoodu
    You win 26 World Cups, get 80+ podiums but have no Olympic medals, so people call you a loser You get no podium in World Cups, accidentally stumble upon an Olympic medal when you happen to have one fantastic day at the right moment and people will call you a winner forever
  18. heywoodu
    That's quite unbelievable.
  19. heywoodu
    Yeah, I don't think someone like Wierer or Makarainen needs random people to tell her them they could have won more than (in Wierer's case) a world championships silver (and two Olympic medals with relays by the way), pretty sure they know that. Makarainen is one of the greatest without a doubt, yet has zero Olympic medals...meaning she's a loser?

    Schulting came back and took the world title. Lara van Ruijven attacked twice early on and then was 'empty' (she's a sprinter, so that's not strange), but she was lapped and forgot to skate her last lap because she started celebrating with Schulting, leading to a DNF which cost her a sensational bronze medal in the overall standings
  21. heywoodu
    Arguably the kind of comment that makes athletes lose motivation. Poliakova-style.
  22. heywoodu
    Cool sprint
  23. heywoodu
    Mona Hegle Svendsen
  24. heywoodu
    Laura Brorsson though

    Herrmann taking the gold by going on the attack in the standing shooting
