He was simply not a medal contender, he will never skate 6.09 in a track like Beijing, it's not a question of choker, otherwise there are at least 5 chokers in this race because there were 6 or 7 skaters fighting for bronze. Italians probably aren't in best shape looking also at Giovannini and Malfatti but also in best shape Ghiotto will never skate under 6.13 in this track. He is very good on fast ice like North American, he instead seems more heavy in other tracks. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Ghiotto is a very nice skater to watch, unbelievable good technique and besides that a very nice person. I'm still hoping for a better result in the 10K?

Quaker2001 243 Posted February 6, 2022 #457 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This is why I love the Olympics.. Woke up this morning and saw on the OBS news feed that Van der Poel had won. So I went back and watched the last pair fully knowing he was about to win. And that was still absolutely incredible to watch. What a comeback. American commentators couldn't believe it Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
