    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
  4. heywoodu
    Playing judge and changing the results yourself?
  5. 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
  6. heywoodu
    Lol, this Johaug show.

    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
  8. heywoodu
    That's quite unbelievable.
  9. 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

    Arguably the kind of comment that makes athletes lose motivation. Poliakova-style.
  12. heywoodu
    Cool sprint
  13. heywoodu
    Mona Hegle Svendsen
  14. heywoodu
    Laura Brorsson though
  15. heywoodu
    Herrmann taking the gold by going on the attack in the standing shooting
  16. heywoodu
    Brorsson
  17. heywoodu
    Statistically speaking Eckhoff is more likely to crumble than Herrmann (although yeah, both are quite likely to do so )
  18. heywoodu
    Wow, Wierer.
  19. heywoodu
    Aaaaand the two Algerian women drawn against an Israeli athlete completely disappeared from the draw, surprise!

    1:42.9 or something for Roest tonight and he takes over first place in the Adelskalendern. Which would be a bit of a shame in my opinion, since Shani Davis apart from being cool was also incredibly allround (winning both allround and sprint championships in the post-80's era is incredible).

    Most athletes are right at their main peak period, end of February to early March. It's not the first time athletes try and get their peak a little later when the last competition of the season is in Calgary or Salt Lake.

    If I'm gonna start with this I will have to give up sleeping and eating probably, I'm already 15 hours per day short as it is
  23. heywoodu
    1:06.18 by the way, exactly a second faster than Gerard van Velde's legendarily epic 1000m WR and Olympic gold on the same track in 2002
  24. heywoodu
    Yeah, test that 'ice master' who created some absolutely perfect ice in perfect conditions on perfect altitude
  25. heywoodu
    And 1:11.61 for Bowe in the 1000m to close out the day with another WR....after Miho Takagi (an allrounder!) went sub-1:12 as first woman ever in the race before What a day, unbelievable. This was a historic day for speed skating
