Women's team pursuit qualifications
Men's 500m finals
Speed Skating
SOON
500m is starting now!
we haven't had a gold in a while, it's time
tfw NL has the best 3 riders for the 500m but it's not 2 races anymore just the 1 so we might get lucked out of a sweep
Lorentz would normally be the only one able to beat us (tho depending on how much Verbij has recovered from his injury)
it's time
This thread feels a little awkward with the women's team pursuit quali being over already
>can't do a bradbury
shit sport
Singles and HHL wins a medal.
USA USA USA
are you ready kids?
I've never watched speed skating before, what do I need to know?
USA wins
wewinlol
Netherlandswinslol
>this commentator'
WHAT THE FUCK
Poutala is going to win this, right?
>they now become the leaders
yeah no fucking shit they're the first pair
do they make the outside skater start further up, so the distances are the same?
i already know that lol
No, pic related
Its Jimmy Fallon in the baby blue
I fucking love Poutala. Obviously I wish for another sweep, but if not let Poutala have a cheeky bronze
in some distances that is necessary, but here they both start 100m straight from the finish and then both have an outside curve and an inside curve so same distance
World Cup races this season.
TRIPS FOR FINLAND GOLD
just
I would be really happy with that. Poutala's a great guy, but he's been just that slight distance behind the absolute best throughout his career. I don't think he believes in his win enough to take the gold, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
oh i see, i didn't realize they switched tracks
close
Can any of these men beat 9.58s for fastest 100m? That's Bolt's WR for fastest on land.
fucking euros. diversify your flags
This is the finals, how many runs do they get?
That US half Griffin guy is a music prodigy that does classic music at Carnegie Hall at 17.
All Russians are banned.
who false started? it didn't look like it
also why don't they give them a starting block?
A
>leaf
Every olympian is like that, they all were born into rich privileged families who had them training in their craft as a child.
Our commentator says it's obvious that it was the Italian guy but you could have fooled me
Any chance someone other than the Netherlands wins this one? Who is good?
>Usain Bolt can literally run the 100m faster than these manlets can skate it
Never watched one of these cause netherlandswinslol but I heard we have a chance in this one so I'll have a look
1
tripfag fuck off
Your long track team this year thinks blue makes them go faster. That's all you need to know about it.
Did he dab???
Was that guy dabbing
how are pairs decided, and in what order do they go? are there seeds?
>what is friction
Why do Dutchcucks only care about speed skating?
thought that was an emoji
Start list
why do they use an electric gun for this (for timing reasons) but a real gun for biathlon, xc, etc?
also i wish the cbc announcer would stop saying "lap and a quarter" before each one
I'd guess because it's inside.
aerodynamic
>morinaga chocoball
最高wwww
i mean, wouldn't they want to use an electric one for all events, for exact/computer-measured timing reasons?
>Ching-yang Sung
Lorentzen (norwegian) and Lacroix (Canadian) have a real shot
>Chinese Taipei
Pathetic, why does everyone bow to China
I literally know the guy, stop lying about him on the internet lol.
PMSL
why do they take their hoods off IMMEDIATELY after the finish line?
KEK
Lol
In staggered-start events like Biathalon everyone's time starts when they cross the starting line, in other words the people in the far back technically start later than the people up front. For that reason the starting line is responsible for starting the timer, not the gun.
At least that's my limited understanding of it.
That's what CBC commentators said.
>plumber
>poland
OHNONONONO
THE CURSE OF THE SLIP
To show that they have nice hair.
Everyone looks like absolute shit with the hood on.
I'm always surprised when women skate and take off their hood at the end and surprisingly there's a real qt under it

taiwan is not china, the IOC just doesn't want to anger china so they're forced to call it "chinese taipei" (which is a weird meaningless name. taipei is a city)

Aw man I feel so bad for that guy kek
Hope the Colombian stays in a medal position. It will be Latin America's first Winter Olympics medal if he does.
nice job Poland
That's gonna leave a big emotional scar.
Time for binland domination

question Cred Forums Is this the only race they do?
Would you cut off your penis to be more aerodynamic and save 0.02 seconds to win gold instead of bronze?
>it was all an elaborate ruse to sabotage the next runner starting at that position
oh shit its pekka
Just tuned in, what happened to Poland?

Dutchbros, what’s an ‘omloop’ they’re talking about all the time. Something about new rules?

Thanks mutts
What's with the autistic "gotta get into starting position slowly and then not move at all" rules?
Why does it matter? As long as everyone starts right on time who cares?
Fucking shit sport, give me biathlon back.
wtf is up with the crotch of the us outfit
>Smeekens carried the flag
Is he the most decorated speed skater or something? Thought Kramer was.
rip colombia bro :(
RIP Colombian
>that Dutch bulge
1st, ez
Netherlandswinslol
Looked fucking quick from the start.
Lad I’m not Dutch, I’m just here.
wtf rigged
>fucker over by Dutch starters
KEKED
34,93 shouldn't be good enough for podium RIP sweep
Too slow Smeekens, no medal for you.
haha he's called bum
TAE BUM LMAO
Mika better get a medal
>the American blowing his snot onto the ice
lel
I want to stuff my face in their spandex thicc sweaty thighs goddamn
this. can anyone explain?
wasn't japan in first?
Gook was flying kek.
Lol korea choke
Korean choke lmao
Columbian guy lost his place on the podium. Japanese guy still 2nd
Holy shit, the Korean was fast af. But he drifted too much into the outside track.
"russian handkerchief" as we call it here
Tingyu master race
>furry
fuck off bitterballen
>joji
yeah but colombia was 3rd, first south american medal at the winter games if that held
Ya, they beat Usain in the 100m. The Korean guy that just went got a 9.64s in the first 100m. The whole 500m race is over in under 35 seconds.
When are the canadian skating? those low skill bufoon bore me
l-lewd :3c
>putting your hand on the ice
what the fuck
oh i see. sad :(
(You)
why isn't joji's outfit pink
How was that a false start? So confused.
13th, 14th and 18th pair. 12th pair now.
whoa
In Sochi Smeekens finished second on the 500m with 0.012 seconds difference, and the scoreboard in the stadium showed him in first placed initially. So he thought he won but it was later corrected. It's a little bit of a pity choice but he's also the current world champion on the 500m so it's deserved
How do they have such fluffy hair?
>take off hood
>hair floofs up like that
Fucking chinks give me your good hair genes
>9.47s start
there we have it
kankerchinees ga lekker frietjes bakken
These gooks are fast.
Goddamn squint eyes stealing our medals
Goddamn Chinese people are ugly
whitebois BTFO
Stop responding to tripfags.
fuck off tripfag
gook doesn't mean chinese/japanese, idiot
Is 500m the most popular distance in speedskating? Like how 100m is bigger than 200m/500m/1km/etc in the summer olympics?
Wish there was biathlon every day so I didn't have to watch this
What? No he can't.
Can anyone answer this?
You gonna watch team ski jumping later lad?
I think Norway and Germany are favorites
It's the most exciting distance because of the huge variance
>gook doesn't mean chinese/japanese, idiot
>hurr durr asians are different
This leaf sucked ass.
>got bronze in 2015
>won't be top-10 here
Let's see our other 2.
No, I'm getting my hair cut by my novice sister which takes literally 2-3 hours
low-tier humor, try better
ignore tripfags
I am so looking forward to it
No, the 1500m is considered the King Distance
also take off your fucking trip already you retarded attentionfag
Korea pls go
how old
BASED KOREA
PLS KEK THE SHITTERLANDS OUT OF GOLD PLS
Holy fugg
Because you start behind a line, starting to move before the shot means you get a head start and can cross the line as soon as the shot is fired. This is an advantage if you are able to predict the shot and its 'luck', thus just telling them to stand still until the shot is the most fair solution.
gook first
These gooks are fast.
How do they determine who skates in the inside and outside lanes?
fugg
ORANGEFAGS BTFO
She? 24

Another shit leaf.
>Asians win lol

THEY SHOULD HAVE NUKED THESE CHINKS
holy shit, can that record hold? hopefully aquafresh btfo
where are you whiteboys?
It doesn’t really matter since the track is the same distance anyway.
gookswinlol
WAS
REMOVE NETHERLANDS FROM THE PODIUM YEEEES
NO MEDALS FOR THOSE SHITTERS
Why isnt Apollo Ono racing?
This fucking starter fucking sucks get rid of him
how do they determine the pairs (who skates against who), and the order they go?
She has like a teacher judging it afterwards and has to fix anything she missed. I have normal length hair. Apparently there's all these rules about length and symmetry that hair dressers have to know about. I just thought they cut it until it looked nice.
REMOVE KANKER
Just arrived, I'm assuming we got BTFO again as always?
>so terrible at speedskating he has to hate on countries who are good.
Just like world wars, right Hans?
Verbij 34.3 incoming and you know it
1. He doesn’t do long track
2. He retired like 8 years ago, man.
He's been shit the whole Olympics. Unnecessarily long.
Not so fast mein freund;)
Fucking this
Surely it matters a bit if you have to take the more narrow inner bend right after the demanding acceleration?
Sorry I have no respect for countries that get all their medals from a single sport.
>finland
>literally who this olympics
:(
33 incoming
Those wide ass fucking turns.
1 Dutch guy left. Is Verbij any good?
Qualification times: slowest to fastest
It's no fair
>tfw he's dutch
It actually kinda matters
Start on the outside and you get the benefit of chasing after the other skater during the trackchange (so slight drafting) BUT it's easier to go top speed in the outside lane so some people prefer having that as their final corner
>yfw Dutch don't even medal
this toothpaste fucker will slip
OH BOY HERE WE GO
Koskela did decently, Poutala is in the last pair.
Came back from injury, this'll be his first real race after.
50/50 will do well or choke.
hes a gook
Does the person finishing on the inside lane always win?
They're keeping an eye on false starts better now.
AHAHAHA IT'S OVER FOR NEDDERKEKS

NORWAY WINS

They get the inside curve , so they have an easier early time, but then they lose it by going wide in the next.

This is why they used to do 2 races, one starting inside and one outside.
You did. Congratulations!

this is bullshit, its the same distance and it means you can chase your contestant after the first turn which helps (usually)

Poutala still did pretty well. Our guys were nervous as fuck unfortunately
Tainted Norway medal, his coach is Canadian, he trains in Canada...
shit sport tb h
Thanks
I hereby demand IOC to ban Finland from participating in olympics forever to save our face.
WE. CAN'T. WIN.
Fuck Harvard niggers. Yale 4 Life.

Can we ban asthma pumpers with anabolics next olympics?
What the fuck is this shit...
kek
business idea: shadow ban all tripfags
I can't fucking watch this anymore.
First the chokes in xc and biathlon and now this. I feel so bad for Mika. That 50km classic will be nerve-racking
They could also do it like the cycling where they start on opposite sides of the ring. That way both people get the same inside/outside route.

How come South Korea is so shit in team pursuit? Their individual skaters are good at speed/short track, but their team pursuit is garbage.
wow, first Norwegian 500m gold in 70 years
Norway is en-route to beat the all-time gold record at the Winter Olympics. Canada won 14 in Vancouver 2010.

Well, congrats to Canadians aswell :P

what are the translations, i assume google translate fucks them up

Neat.

Now Cha grabbing the cheeky silver, THAT was unexpected
Be prepared for that young chinese bronze to dominate in the coming years btw
Not really that unexpected, only Mulder was a bigger favourite.

olympics looked comfy as fuck back then. they were like running in someone's backyard
Words to live by :^)
Hungarian is close to Finnish
He was clearly joking, you told him to curse.
I'm angry because Norway trains here and they will break Canada's Vancouver gold record.
It's not fair! Winter is Canada's sport!
Can someone post to /wsg/ with a webm of the winning race?
i know, that's my point
hand over your gold and your lunch money loser
i was just pretending to be angry but seriously norway stop doping your athletes

>Inside lane wins
is there a rule saying how long your skate can be?
You'd be at a disadvantage if you had any longer skates, just look at this guy
i would imagine they are standardised
it's measured to the foot, not the skate
might have to do with slipstream
but on the image the lines are at the tip of the skate
i know, but from what i know it's actually measured to the foot
This is incorrect. Whoever breaks the line with their blade first wins.
norway bros, you have a good chance at another gold in ski jump event
I don't know if this is bait or not.
"No"
weird. 's point is correct then
don't reply to tripfags
They're not really standarised, if you have smaller feet your blades are shorter.
perhaps it is like 1.2x your foot size
would make more sense to just time it on the foot wouldnt it?
Feels good to win bronze lads, seeing as norgay roidmonkeys victory is illegitimate
since shoes generally have a rounded tip, it is probably hard to measure
Don't you have a sauna contract to sign or something?
>no medal
how the mighty have fallen
Don't you have some steroids to take? Your country is cheating and should be banned for life
lol
Preach it, Pekka!
I'd be more worried about Kuzmina passing the piss test. Beat Dahlmaier who had the 3rd fastest course time by 1 minute and 10 seconds on the Individual. Once a Russian, always a Russian.
How many boring skate competitions are there? I swear skating is the swimming of the Winter Olympics.
>let’s skate fast! Now let’s skate fast over a different distance! Now let’s skate fas5 over 20 more arbitrarily chosen distances! Yay! Hup Holland!
Boring as shit.
