SalamAkhi 277 Posted October 23, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 23, 2021 5 teams in the semi-final, you need to finish 3rd ou 4th to get to the B final and guarantee a top 8 (and be in a qualifying spot for the Olympics), you're battling for 3rd place but you have a comfortable lead to at least finish 4th. The team in 4th tries to overtake you in the last lap, what do you do : - let go, you've ensured your qualification ; - make a block, get DQed. If you chose the second option then you're probably French NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianlu33 3,570 Posted October 24, 2021 #24 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The judges are completely drunk, evidently there is too much sake in the VAR room. The Netherlands not only had to be penalized, it was a dangerous action from direct YC. Shame on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted October 29, 2021 #25 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Admittedly, our athletes have raised their level in this sport, especially the girls (Aščić did a great job to advance from the preliminaries as the next fastest skater). Still, the Olympic qualification will only happen with some Bradbury-esque outcomes. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted November 25, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Why is ISU hiding the World Cup standings in 500/1500 m events? At any rate, Valentina Aščić advanced today and secured top 35 (min 10 points). Probably not enough by itself, but she gave herself a fighting chance for tomorrow... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
