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

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)

ah, good point. thanks.

question Sup 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?
