Braathen's move hurts more than just Norway (it's nice for the Brazilian fans I guess, not necesarily so much for the athletes) But that's another topic, let's mostly keep it to speed skating here -
Yes, like in most places, winters are on average getting less cold, and skating on lakes and such is becoming rare. But no, that won't really affect the number of athletes, indoor skating is too common for that

Remember Vorviej's face when he lost to Brodka from Poland in the 1500 in 2014 by 0.003 hundredths? Overall, Vorviej looked like some kind of cyborg, not a normal guy, even an athletic one... -

I also have a question for the Dutch who live there: are your winters as cold now as they were 20-30 years ago, allowing for outdoor skating: on ice rinks, frozen canals, lakes, etc.? Or is everything now indoors? Could this mean fewer people will participate in this sport in the future? -

The Netherlands invests millions in this sport and they have a large pool of athletes. They always need to be at the top and win medals, even if they don't have a phenomenon like Stolz or, once upon a time, Kramer. It's similar with Austria or Switzerland in alpine skiing: thanks to their know-how and significant financial resources, they can turn an average skier like Rast, Holdener, Gisin, etc., into an Olympic/World Championship medalist. Italy, on the other hand, doesn't have that kind of money, and it hurts even more that we're losing talents like Colturi. It hurts much more than Nor loss of Braathen, because there are another 4 or 5 at his level or slightly under. -

Wellinger is out of form, but he'll probably be in fourth place at the Olympics... Because who else do Germany have besides Raimund, Hoffman, Pasche, and him? Geiger is in even worse form. The overall run of form from Wellinger and Geiger this season has been incredible. Overall, Germany has been very weak this season: two in the top three, but no wins, and outside the top three, there's a black hole. -
Always lovely to see Kjeld Nuis so insanely angry. Yes, he qualified, but his for-now girlfriend Joy Beune didn't (on the 1500m, she will go to the Olympics, no worries) and now he calls the entire system bullshit and everyone he likes - including himself - should have been pre-selected.

Kjeld Nuis beat team mate Tim Prins in an amazing finish for 3rd place...Prins missed the Olympics by 0,005 seconds. Ouch.
