[Skate] International views, please!

['Brynjar Haarberg' [e-mail] [Speed_skating]]

Calling speed skating fans all over the world!

As far as I know, this discussion group is the only truly international one that covers - or should cover! - speed skating issues. That's why it's so essential that it is used, especially in crucial times like these.

For example, how are the views in different countries on P. Kulizhnikov's surprising comeback to the sprint scene?

And more importantly, how are the views on several proposals to new structures regarding ISU championships - to be discussed by the ISU this summer?

How are the views on more and more "new" events such as the mass start and the team sprint in the World cup and Wch programmes? Is it OK that the 500m is decided after one race, if it makes it possible to add the team sprint?

How could we get more pairs on the 10 000 m - Or will the allround survive, even with just four pairs?

Et cetera. I should think there are views on some of those topics and many more amongst the 903 (?!) subscribers of this group - so why not share some of them here?

Regards, B. Haarberg.

here are my views on this

regarding doping, as many canadians i am against this and think cheaters should be punished. however i do not understand how the meldonium has been handled with wada.

did they know or not when they banned it how long it takes the body to eliminate it.
wada seems to be walking on eggs about this. there should have been enough time between the announcement and the date it is banned to have everyones body eliminate it.

i think a variety of competitions is great. mass start is great, i havent seen much team sprint but i think it is a very nice competition (allthough i do not understand the strict rules about it. it seems like if the guy who was supposed to skate the last lap falls during the second lap, the second lap guy cant do the 3rd lap or the team will be dqed)

i loke these new events as long as we keep the old ones. i think the 10k should stay and the 2x500 m in championships should stay as well.

i would like the allround to survive too. maybe a way tomhave more skaters skate te last distance would be to have

firsr day : 1500 - 3k/5k , for all skaters entered
second day: 500 - 5k/10k, for the top 16 of the first day

Interesting twist on the allround!

But when it comes to proposals for the ISU congress, only European countries seem to bother - and their (our!) proposals are often not that good.

I would like to see this proposal going all the way to the 2016 congress!
