TBH I rate this result higher than Saskia Alusalu's "4th" at PY. Oh absolutely, a 7th place for an Estonian in a regular distance, that is seriously a fantastic result! rafalgorka, dcro and Herki 3 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

NearPup 2,156 Posted February 18, 2022 #672 Share Posted February 18, 2022 After the under-performance in the 500m this medal by Laurent Dubreuil feel like, to quote Petra Majdič, a gold with little diamonds in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman 1,314 Posted February 19, 2022 #674 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Right, like I said it was a nice show of sportsmanship but it's not like he threw away a gold to do it. He knew he wasn't close to the podium and there was nothing to gain. Good job, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noorderling29 108 Posted February 19, 2022 #675 Share Posted February 19, 2022 You are wrong. To be certain I rewatched the race. It confirmed that Verbij was 0.01 faster than Krol at 600 metres, and he is renowed for his excellent final lap. Without this incident he would have beaten Lorentzen’s time and probably even Dubreuil’s. It would have been close for first. dcro, rafalgorka and heywoodu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to help confirming this: in the two important 1000m's they had before the Olympics, their last laps were roughly 0.1 second apart from each other. Verbij's last lap was a tiny bit faster once, Krol's last lap a tiny bit faster the other time. So yeah, without this situation it would most likely have been very tight indeed.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted February 19, 2022 #677 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Right, the main speed skating is over, time for the circus We start with the men's Not-A-Marathon. Which could be Sven Kramer's last race. I hope not, it'd be cool to see him and Bergsma in the final and see how they solve the thing of having to kind of pretend to work together If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,540 Posted February 19, 2022 #679 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Oh, he's through to the final after all. I forgot in this event you have to wait for a while after the finish until you can really know what the result of the race is. Anyhow, the plan ("putting someone like Kramer in this event can scare the competition") doesn't seem to be that fantastic.
