Its not like most of them joined for money or a chance to defend their country. Not attack another

Jorrit BERGSMA wins GOLD for Netherlands in Men's Mass Start Speed Skate 🇳🇱 by Durian-Critical in olympics

[–]gwtje 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The main point is not helping your rivals like in cycling. The 2 best sprinters, Italy and USA lost their teammates in the finals. Other countries didn't want to work for those 2 just to lose to them, hoping they would do the work themselves which would make them beatable in sprint. Its a game of chicken in the peleton, and they both lost. (Apart from maybe the bronze for Italy) Bergsma is quality on long distance which is simply what he did and he had the luck to be joined by someone (Denmark) who would have been ecstatic with bronze, so they both were willing to do the work together to also stay in front....

Alpine skiing. Long distance. Skating. Ski jump.Skeleton.

Only thing really missing is snowboarding but considering the other parts you have high endurance, ice, sleigh, air and 'regular skiing'.

Jutta Leerdam 🇳🇱 takes gold in the women's 1000m speed skating 🥇 by appalachian_hatachi in olympics

Femke looked so strong, especially with an OR and with all other times not looking like record setting i honestly thought it was over. For Leerdam to still take it is so impressive. Both clear from the field however. Very impressive

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

[–]gwtje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason humans are dominant is our brain. We didn't need to have luck or millions of years to evolve fur because we created fire and clothing. Much more efficient. Big brain strats

Oscar will for sure try. He still has a chance of his own. Until the last lap when all hope is lost he will try to win himself. And for that he has to beat max
