That's surprising :thumbup:

 

Some descent results from our team with a bunch of B finals (and one A final). Nothing great, but much better that what we saw at Beijing (not a single semi-final)

Sorry my mistake. It's not Frances first medal, but probably first relay medal ever.

Interesting that Korea sweeps both the 1000m and 1500m podiums on the mens side, but in the relay they finished third in the B final. I don't see any penalties or big time differences that indicate a fall in the results.

The first Korean stumbled at the start and lost a fair amount of time. They had to trail all the way, coming within firing range of France just in the end but the last French skater managed to hold the Korean back. One lap more would have been enough though. 

 

As for French medals in relay that's not a first. Four between 2004 and 2008 including a win in 2006, although it was a 2000m relay with three skaters.

It looks like tomorrow still has the 1000m and relay finals.

:NED Angel Daleman is turning 15 this month and will still be a junior when the 2026 Olympics are happening. :lol:

 

She's also by far the biggest Dutch talent in long-track speed skating. Last month, she won the Junior B championships (15/16 years as of 01/07/2021) over 500m, 1.000m, 1.500m and 3.000m (:yikes:), while she is still a C-junior (13/14 years as of 01/07/2021). Of course that means she is also the B-junior national sprint champion and national alround champion (by 3.5 points, an amazing gap you almost never see). 

 

 

Right now she's combining both sports, but we'll have to see if she decides to focus on one.
