>Watching this or Nipon vs. /EVE/
It's a tough choice
Why not both?
Love me that QT Yoshida
So am I watching this alone?
What the fuck guys
*braaap*
...
Meme event, wondering how many crashes there will be
ah yeah we live. I am here for the memes
Is this one also Holland wins lol?
MASS ASS
This one is >unpredictablelol
Like, anything can happen
dutch girl was showcasing some nice toe, well done.
how many crashes can we expect?
Cool
Probably not
...
whats the distance?
Let's go
> No, they expect one of us at the wreckage brother.
One
6km
We’re going to crash this sports event with no survivors.
What happens if there is a mass crash? Is the race restarted?
No. They are DQ
LOL
Mass start reminds me of roller derby. Lets rock!
This point system is useless. No matter what the first place in the final sprint is the winner.
CRASH LOL
This event is so needlessly complicated with the points system for intermediate sprints.
It's kinda fun to watch
Don't know what is happening tbqh.
>points
what the fuck is going on?
>All this ass touching
Oh god I love this sport
>sprint laps
>points
what the hell is this meme shit
wtf this event is so weird, but kinda cool
See
Is this the nascar equivalent of skating?
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
MANGALELO, LETS FUCKING GO SCHOUTEN
CRASH
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Yes! Good job Schouten!
>3 sprints with max of 5 points
>final sprint is 20-60 points
Swiss girl just chilling there. lmao
She’s already qualified mate. She won the sprint events.
yeah.
maybe they should ask someone who can atleast count to design the next system
NASCAR ON ICE
Poor polish girl trying to catch up
What do you think their hands smell like from touching ass for all 16 laps?
GOAT
>Kurwa
This is half final, so you have to get points not to get place 9-12 because they wont proceed in the tournament
Sexual harassment? Was butt touching consensual?
a race within a race within a race? is this event new or am im i that much of a casual?
this format is insane. whose idea was this>
WHAT THE FUCK DO THE POINTS MEAN
WHY DONT THEY JUST RACE ALL THE LAPS AND SEE WHO GETS TO THE FINISH LINE
THIS RACE IS RETARDED
Yeah wtf lol
What the fuck is going on
Because then everyone would stale until the last 3 laps. It makes mid race interesting
No shit, the last sprint is the finish, aka the top 3 finishers will still be the top 3 no matter what, the points are meant to rank the rest of the racers below 3rd
The sprints within the race are only to qualify for the final
>even announcer doesn't know what's going on
What the FUCK is this bullshit
Is more complicated than curling
It's a good idea. It keeps them skating hard instead of just coasting all the time like in normal endurance events.
MOTHER FUCKER
IF YOU NEED SOME DUMB SHIT TO MAKE MID RACE INTERESTING
YOUR SPORT IS GAY AS FUCK
JUST CUT THE LAPS DOWN
ok, maybe the system makes some sense
Guys these points only matters in the qualif. In the final if you finish first, you are guaranteed to win the gold.
ya I was just thinking that too
kek
Rude
the cranky old man that does the commentating for all the speed skating events on CBC is always drunk AF
holy fuck that italian woman is BISHOUJO as fuck
Fucking lol. None of the marathon/half marathon distance race are interesting in mid race. It's only start and finish that is interesting.
needs more crashing
...
REMINDER: THERE ARE NO RULES
he is reading this thread
Crashing this race
WITH NO SURVIVORS
Yours, or well, the American speed skating body during the 1932 winter Olympics in Lake Placid.
Fucking pechstein you are 100 years old go fucking play bridge of something
>meme sport that no one understands
>U-S-A chants in the crowd anyway
based
He always has the rosiest red nose when he appears on camera, lol. Total alcaholic.
Oh shit. I am so sorry.
dont disrespect my waifu
In these sort of races, it's a giant game of chicken, (who's gonna start the sprint first) regardless of distance, if it's over a distance they can sprint nonstop. forcing these sprints changes that, also to force people to do the mandatory sprints instead of them not caring about them, they base qualifying on the results of those middle sprints
>why is speed-skating (longtrack, only) the most aesthetically pleasing Olympic sport?
Pretty sure that was a false start ref
Stop posting this ugly slag in her even uglier suits
if this is true he must say who the favourites are
...
That Estonian chick is 10/10
Oh ya, that's true. wtf...
I wonder how they'll do the final? There's no need for 16 laps if the intermediate points don't matter at all in the final.
>60, 40, 20 for crossing the finishing line first/second/third
Do these points stay the same for the final? Because that makes all the intermediate sprints completely pointless as those point totals can't be beaten.
is suzanne schulting racin this?
This is weird
The final will be a game of chicken until the final 3 laps
I don't get how these small Asian chicks are able to compete with the Europeans?
The fuck is this shit. Shouldn't they be getting absolutely destroyed?
No, she's a shorttracker not a longtracker, you dumb norge
No, she's short track.
how long is one lap?
usa is doing good? I don't know
It's the same race.
the really shiny and reflective ice is one of my favorite parts of speed skating since it doesnt get messed up quick like with figure skating and hockey, really aesthetic
