Jenny Wolf was also still world class at age 35 and skated her personal records on the 500m and 1.000m when she was 30+. What Fatkulina is doing here is impressive, but not exceptional. Meanwhile rumour has it poor old Janne Hänninen is still going out on every 400m track he can find to skate 500m under 35.00 seconds...

OlympicsFan 781 Posted February 14, 2021 #42 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Wiklund won gold? Seems like an absurd result for someone who doesn’t really follow speed skating. Was she even considered a medal contender? Also the only in the top 20 to set a PB ... Maybe she is on the Ingebrigtsen/Johaug/Sundby „diet“ ... Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i think it is difficult to be good at football when you can barely ever play it outside ... (although Iceland has done an amazing job) 3) There are a lot of other „comparable“ countries that aren’t (much) better than Norway while being much worse in winter sports (Portugal, Israel, Ireland, Singapore, Belgium, Greece). I think for their size Norway is actually doing a good job in summer sports. 1. Ingebrigtsen family and Warholm isn't exactly depth by international standards. Same as having Hattestad and Rodal in the 90s. 2. Yeah, two amazing players in the whole country. Just because half of Europe can qualify to Euro finals these days it doesn't mean anything - and Norway actually failed to qualify to begin with 3. Ireland has gaelic football & rugby and Belgium has cross cycling at the very least. Also motor racing/ motocross in Belgium which doesn't qualify under any Olympic standards.
