I got no time for the short track nonsense. Was he whining about too much wind? The long track skating is brilliant to watch, so graceful as well as lung bustingly athletic.

Was he whining about too much wind? The long track skating is brilliant to watch, so graceful as well as lung bustingly athletic. The "real thing" as you say. The issue is, he skipped the opening ceremonies because someone else won the honor of carrying the flag, through the established process of choosing such carrier. He felt entitled to the honor and pouted for not earning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short track has subjective aspects to the rulings, which suck, but it is a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the mass start event on the long track. That's actually the way we raced when I was growing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll actually be very much like a points race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have solved this whole issue quite easily if they had just given Mr. Davis a Participation Trophy to carry in the parade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit if you're set up to suck up but you still have to keep the back end low and out of the wind to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted February 14, 2018 Share #29 Posted February 14, 2018 Drafting was a big factor in one race today. Two skaters, and one fell early, and the one that had to go it alone. He ran out of steam and finished poorly. He apparently was one of the favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
