dcro 10,182 Posted November 15, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If it was up to me, I'd remove all those nonsense team events (including pursuit) and mass start of course. Traditional speed skating events are completely different than track cycling events. So what's up with this urge to copy track cycling formats? It's so fake. phelps and heywoodu 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,560 Posted November 15, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I would still be alright with a mass start being replaced by a marathon, at the very least 100 laps. I'd also be very much ok with that not happening and the 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 3000/5000m and 5000/10000m remaining as only events. I know that won't happen though 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!

I see no purpose for the Team Sprint or Points Race (or Elimination), but I think the Team Pursuit should absolutely be there. I think it should be a 5km-10km distance though with 3 or 4 members. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,560 Posted November 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Nao Kodaira has been beaten at the 500m after 23 consecutive victories Her race with Vanessa Herzog was first halted because Herzog moved (the started waited very, very, very long and so it was inevitable almost), after which Herzog made a false start and got DQ'ed.

I think he can join the world elite, but I doubt he'll be the kind of guy to go for low 1:06's.
