    His first lap, mostly

    JTB asking if anyone wants to have a go at it

    What's with the net inside a net in the bandy? (this is a goal, for reference, but the ball/thing is behind the net inside the net )
  4. heywoodu
    Makes one wonder if the whole Seefeld thing has something to do with it.

    About Herbert Cool: he always invites people to ask questions on Twitter during live broadcasts (which people do quite a lot) and always says people can send it to "@CoolHerbert, with the C as in 'cool'"

    Elistratov was cheering after winning the B final...maybe he had a foresight

    DQ for false start for Sandor Liu in the 500m final, two guys crashing straight through the boarding...even the boarding is of an incredibly amateuristic level here, what an insane farce of a championships Shame on whoever (probably a high Bulgarian official in ISU) gave these championships to Sofia.

    Good that at least they are consistent even when DQ'ing people for stupid stuff.

    Exactly why they should have someone knowledgeable there, like in the Netherlands where most people don't know the sport neither but a good commentator helps a lot in catching the attention of passers by going through the channels. At least during the Olympics they had an actual biathlete (Mika Picin) in the studio to assist this dude, but she's living in Spain now so that's not happening anymore.

    This should not be worthy of a penalty, but if you DQ athlete A for something, you should DQ athlete B as well if B does exactly the same thing.

    So, women's 500m final. At the finish with Van Ruijven, Valcepina did EXACTLY the same Schulting did in her 1500m semi and what got her DQ'ed....let's see if the same happens to Valcepina now (if they're consistent, she should be DQ'ed, stupid as it may be).

    Surprise (/sarcasm), Alaphilippe wins it
  13. heywoodu
    Fuglsang vs Alaphlippe vs a ready to explode Van Aert
  14. heywoodu
    Schulting to the 500m final (with Van Ruijven), Choi not even in the B-final
  15. heywoodu
    Kinda surprised she actually did the laps, quite often in the case of crossfire athletes don't notice it until they get a 10 minute penalty after the race for missing 5 penalty laps

    "Absolutely massive height!"

    Young Katrin Manoilova is not exactly top of the world, but at least she's sort of competitive (as in, not one of those one expects to be destroyed in the heats)....however, a week ago she had a hard fall on her head so she's out of the individual competitions right when the world champs are in her home city

    That's the one I was watching when I wrote that

    Interestingly, ex-shorttrack skater Niels Kerstholt (also Dutch, he's in the TV studio) was very much agreeing with the penalty and called Schulting's defending 'incredibly stupid' I don't watch it live a lot anymore though, usually I watch the replays so I can skip through the eternal waits

    Yeah, I meant Seidel. That was just outright stupid: crashing out someone else, falling together with that person and you get advanced while your victim gets penalized It's like you shoot someone in the legs and while doing so, the backfire hurts your hand, after which the judge sends your victim to jail and you get money for the damage to your hand
  23. heywoodu
    Yep, there was another overtake.
  24. heywoodu
    This is getting boring though, you can barely do anything or you're kicked out. What's left of the sport when people are DQ'ed who are hit by others? (like yesterday, a Chinese girl I believe was penalized after someone hit her hard, who was in turn advanced )
  25. heywoodu
    Called it
