Tijmen Snel in 3rd, Nuis in 1st. The matrix is fuuuuucked.

Marcel Bosker isn't gonna make it in the 1500m. Most likely remote controls are flying towards TV's in the home of the Ntab family since this will end up costing him his chance due to the team pursuit

Conijn But I'm definitely a fan of Sanne in 't Hof now, she was so enthusiastic in her interview after the race and basically didn't stop talking for 5 minutes straight with the interviewer just barely managing to fit in a question or a "yes?" or something

And now for the final downfall of Olympic champion Esmee Visser...

Seriously, they are as inseparable as it's going to get. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=40607

Could have gone for T12, where a single (12) would have still given him 170. Or T15, where a single 15 would have still left 167. Or T18, where a single would have left 164. Or single bull to leave 157, but that's of course much harder than hitting anything within the 12, 15 or 18 (preferably a treble, but a single in one of those three would have at least left a finish) No way I can count fast enough to do that But a professional player really should have all of these routes firmly in their mind. Of course, huge pressure and all, so he can be forgiven, but it's a mistake nonetheless.

And Clayton made a huge counting mistake in the last leg....he was at 221, hit a single 20 and 19 and so had 182 left, but then went for the 20 again and left 162 since he didn't hit the treble....going for T18 would have at least left a finish if he had hit the single...

And Smith takes it, what a fantastic match! It had everything from superb scoring to awesome finishes to tension until the last dart

Clayton vs Smith is definitely making up for some of the bad matches of earlier today

Possible. Eight men 'qualified' so far, with Bosker being a likely addition for the team pursuit and mass start. Which means Ntab will probably have to hope the entire top-3 of tomorrow's 1500m is filled with qualified athletes, but....that's not likely. You know, Nuis.

The day in which De Sousa is good at the world championships has yet to come. Nice to see a surprise, but Soutar....meh. Sure it's a nice guy I guess, but as a player, it's all kinda boring His averages of 89, 90 and 88 so far says it all.

Awesome to see Otterspeer qualify, finally And no Nuis. Oh well, he already has his gold so it's excellent to see Otterspeer over him

Which for some reason makes the Belgians angry. Which is kind of odd, since they did exactly the same thing last year and were furious when Dutch complaints were appearing Not that I'm planning to go into Belgium. The situation is pretty clearly not good enough to go about all the usual things, but of course it's easy to see which kind of people are going into Belgium "because I need to go to a restaurant!" or "because I need those new designer jeans!". Not people who care about anything.

Set one. It's only 70+ because in the last leg Sousa suddenly hit a T20 or two. This was truly godawful.

Dear lord, José de Sousa vs Alan Soutar must be the worst "Round of 32 match" in a long, long time...

And that's Dave Chisnall out as well.

Scheperkamp in 1st is a bit of a surprise, sure, but him being in the top-3 really isn't And Kramer qualifying being a surprise doesn't say much about how eventful it was, it only says something about Kramer's decline in the past years

And Michelle de Jong kicks out Voskamp's Olympic hopes.

Dione Voskamp pushes Suzanne Schulting out of the 3rd spot in the 500m, for now.

Bergsma in the team pursuit? Most likely it will be Marcel Bosker, probably at the cost of a sprinter.. Kramer, Roest, Bosker are teammates, so that would be a major advantage compared to a team with two Jumbo guys and....well, loner Bergsma.

They weren't exactly making fun of him, he started about hearing his name but not understanding it

Vincent van der Voort had to withdraw from his 3rd round match against James Wade yesterday, due to a positive COVID test. Considering he had been spending Christmas with his buddy Michael van Gerwen, people feared...and feared....and today it came: Van Gerwen tested positive as well, he's out. Dirk van Duijvenbode celebrated with them by the way, he played yesterday, now it's a matter of waiting.

If there was a talent of the year category, she should absolutely win that one....not just her Olympic race, but her entire year has been fantastic all over the board.

She was registered for and skipped today's freestyle race in Latvia (Madona), and suddenly I see she appeared in Campra in Switzerland today, where it appears she scored an excellent 241 points! https://my1.raceresult.com/189008/RRPublish/pdf.php?name=Ergebnislisten|0_RanglisteAK3-Hoch-ZwiZeit&contest=0&lang=nl And Baiba Bendika won the race
