Nice to read your predictions. For me Antoinette de Jong :NED and Natalia Voronina :RUS are the clear favourites at the women's side, Nils van der Poel :SWE  will win the men's race tomorrow, although I hope for Patrick Roest :NED that he can finally become world champion on a single distance.

For some reason I fear Roest might have been going too deep in the previous months (again), although at least this time there were fewer competitions, so he might have energy left :p 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Full top 10 on the women's side correct, but in a completely wrong order. Sad for Wiklund she did not medal here, I was rooting for her.

 

The men's 5.000m prediction was quite incorrect. Disappointed by the Pedersen (2019 World Champion) and Kramer (3x Olympic Champion + 8 times World Champion) of course, but very excited to see Van der Poel win the title here. Very convincing race here and I can't wait for the 10.000 metres. I'll also keep a close eye on Aldoshkin in the future, he was my biggest surpirse of the day.

Predictions for tomorrow:

 

Team Pursuit Ladies:

 

  1. :NED 
  2. :RUS 
  3. :CAN 
  4. :NOR 
  5. :POL 
  6. :BLR 
  7. :GER 
  8. :SUI 

The top 3 teams are the teams with three solid skaters, whereas (apart from Switzerland) each team has two solid skaters, but missing a third one to compete for the podium. I think Canada and Norway benefited the most from the easier conditions during the World Cups.

 

Team Pursuit Men:

 

  1. :NED
  2. :NOR
  3. :RUS
  4. :CAN
  5. :ITA
  6. :KAZ
  7. :POL
  8. :NZL

This is purely based on the individual qualities of the skaters. Norway won the World Cup, but Pedersen and Kongshaug were disappointing today on the 5.000m. Canada will start with Howe, who is more of a 1.000m and 1.500m specialist, who will struggle more with these tougher circumstances. Russia will benefit most from these circumstances. The Netherlands will most likely start with Bosker, Roest and Huizinga, who are team mates, so I expect them to work together better than the teams that started during the world cups.

  20. :BEL 39,27 - Stien Vanhoutte
  21. :GER 39,43 - Anna Ostlender
  22. :BEL 39,50 - Sandrine Tas

Well, at the women's side Femke Kok :NED is the favourite, but like Patrick Roest today she has only something to lose. In addition, she has a bad draw, finishing in the outside lane. I predict Angelina Golikova :RUS  for the win. The men's competition will be close, but will find Pawel Kuliznhikov :RUS on top of the ranking. Laurent Dubreuil :CAN also has a good chance.

 

Team pursuit women: :CAN for sure.

Team pursuit men: :NOR .
