Big national record for Arno Kamminga in the 100m breaststroke. There's a photo in there with Kromowidjojo on it.....she's not exactly looking, well, trained @dareza https://www.nu.nl/sport-overig/6023800/kamminga-zwemt-nederlands-record-op-100-school-door-geniale-race.html

Amaya 4th....twice.

Yay for my contest question, meh for Campbell.

At least it has the two main events, individual and sprint. It's not as terrible as the speed skating schedule..

Bloody Thon

He's losing time in the last lap though and quite some, a second behind Wright now!

Zawol is faster and will beat him, still a few more dangerous guys to come including Norwegian Thon.

New Zealand's Campbell Wright finally got his shooting under control and hit nine out of ten targets today....after 28 (of 98) guys at shooting 2 he is leading by 22 seconds!

It's a rare moment when I've actually seen one of the nominated movies

Well yeah but screw that.

Oh, right, there's only 2 distances and a mass start and that's all

And Arito taking the gold by showing two incredibly good first full laps. Arito: 25.37 - 27.65 - 28.87 - 30.35 - 1:52.24

Nah, this is junior/youth skating

See? Now that is the pure profile of a good sprinter who's used to a track like SLC, where one can keep gliding forever....already in his second full lap it was starting to show. Losing 2,3 seconds in lap time there is just way too much. Taran: 25.56 - 28.67 - 29.07 - 30.44 - 1:53.74 Tobon: 25.73 - 28.20 - 30.11 - 31.63 - 1:55.67 Amaya: 25.03 - 27.58 - 29.88 - 33.31 - 1:55.80 Slotegraaf: 26.22 - 28.84 - 30.18 - 31.63 - 1:56.87 Llop: 26.08 - 29.15 - 30.28 - 32.49 - 1:58.00 Diniz: 24.96 - 28.85 - 30.91 - 34.75 - 1:59.47 Yang: 24.68 - 29.11 - 33.42 - 37.40 - 2:04.61

Here it's often called "de schaatsmijl"

Yang started with what would be a very good opening on senior level....but kinda bombed down Slotegraaf: 26.22 - 28.84 - 30.18 - 31.63 - 1:56.87 Llop: 26.08 - 29.15 - 30.28 - 32.49 - 1:58.00 Diniz: 24.96 - 28.85 - 30.91 - 34.75 - 1:59.47 Yang: 24.68 - 29.11 - 33.42 - 37.40 - 2:04.61

I'm really curious how Diego Amaya will do in the 'skating mile' today. Timewise he's up there with the best, but of course that says nothing considering his time was in SLC and the others definitely weren't. Still, vamos.

Yes, writing well is critical to having a good article

I read the speed skating and biathlon, since I don't care much about figure skating I probably won't read those I only had a tiny remark or two: That's basically like saying "skiing fast is critical to a good result in alpine skiing" or "climbing well is critical on a big climb in road cycling". It has nothing to do with this format, it's simply a part of the sport. Plus the first sentence makes it sound like the format meant the lead changed at every exchange, but that's not the case. It sometimes happens, it sometimes doesn't. Mind you, those are only small things, I thought the articles were excellent to read

Myrthe de Boer somehow manages to hold on in the last lap and takes the gold That was close, it looked like she was going to lose it in the last lap as well.

That must be terribly disappointing, wow.

Too bad the speed skating live timing doesn't give the rather essential lap times.

Excellent choice to go and play for some good points in Bangkok!

Trump is starting to tweet in Farsi, that can't go wrong!
