Ok, good. Where did you get Stephanie Beckert from, by the way?
> to me disadvantage v is not quite relevant since it doesnt remove a 10 k from the previuos calendar :)
No not from last year’s calendar, because the same system was in force then. But before that we had the qualifier events with full allround programmes.
> i would also say that it's good that only the middle distances of the allround combination are skated in the qualification competition. if the full program was skated, then it would kinda be a championship before the championship.
Not exactly. Only the championship is the championship. Is the European Championship a championship before the championship? Were the New Year’s Races back when we had them? Big combinations are demanding, of course. The demand a lot of restitution and disrupt the World Cup programme. But the World Cup schedule is so thinned out these days, there is room for another big combination or two.
> to me the real scandal about the actual qualification system is that some countries don't try to qualify he maximum skaters by making some of them skate the 2 distances required, focusing on the single distances world cup .
Well, they will lose out if they don’t focus on the single distances World Cup. You have to make a choice as long as it’s a combined event. That’s the biggest problem with it.
> Canada had only 2 male sprinters skating the required 2 races to qualify for the world sprint championships. and also we qualified 3 ladies and 2 men for the allround championships but sent only one of each gender, apparently for budget reasons :(
Budget, smudget :-(
> for the best junior I would gladly nominate fellow canadian Ben Donnelly or korean Min-Seok Kik,for being close second as a B2 junior. I do not personnaly follow junior world cups but i would pick the world junior champion over the junior world cup best skater :) especially when all the juniors dont skate the junior world cups.
Ok, I’ll second your nomination of Donnelly. After all he’s the official Junior World Champion allround. Even if it’s only over 500-1000-1500-5000. He did beat Bosker comprehensively in the 5000.
