1:06.18 WR for Kjeld Nuis on the 1000m :yikes: :hyper: 

 

RIP Shani Davis' ten year old WR :cry:

And 1:11.61 for Bowe in the 1000m to close out the day with another WR....after Miho Takagi (an allrounder!) went sub-1:12 as first woman ever in the race before :yikes:

 

What a day, unbelievable. This was a historic day for speed skating :bowdown:

WADA, where are you? :whistle:

Yeah, test that 'ice master' who created some absolutely perfect ice in perfect conditions on perfect altitude :p

1:06.18 by the way, exactly a second faster than Gerard van Velde's legendarily epic 1000m WR and Olympic gold on the same track in 2002 :d

I know they're in altitude and in SLC they have a magician as the ice master...but let's be serious...this is the last competition of a very long season, with most of the athletes already off their supposed peak period...and world records (even those 10 years old) are falling like the leaves in autumn?

maybe I'm a bit too suspicious, but this epic day can't be all "mother nature"'s result...:p

Most athletes are right at their main peak period, end of February to early March. It's not the first time athletes try and get their peak a little later when the last competition of the season is in Calgary or Salt Lake.

1:42.9 or something for Roest tonight and he takes over first place in the Adelskalendern. Which would be a bit of a shame in my opinion, since Shani Davis apart from being cool was also incredibly allround (winning both allround and sprint championships in the post-80's era is incredible).

Lol @ Nuis not being disqualified. Easily the most scandalous decision of this winter sport season.

Also interesting that apparently 5-6 dutch athletes had very suspicious blood values, but noone was caught doping.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
