RE: [Skate] 1000m Openers vs Final laps (how do you win them?)

 

 

Yes, to win it is enough , but not for a world record anymore!

No, I am arguing that even a 17,00 can bring you to a good result. You win
your 1000m with an average opener, a decent first and a fast last lap.

Hi Dirk, great analysis, but i would still say that Kjeld Nuis lost in in
both openings, 16.6 is too slow even with his good last lap.

Erben Wennemars will probably hate me for this, but the 1000m is NOT won/the
world record is not bested by opening faster than Kjeld Nuis presently does.
Erben would like to see everybody skate like he Always did, but a 1000m is
relatively seldom won by a fast opener.

Who then is the number one jack-rabbit of 1000m? It is

A.	still good-old Jeremy Wotherspoon, who once opened in 16,16 to
finish in 1.07,31 and 
B.	Kyu-Hyuk Lee who opened just as fast, only to finish in 1.07,51

The present #3 is Michael Ireland, who opened in 16,17 to finish in 1.07,99

Kyu-Hyuk Lee also has two 1.07,07 results, one out of a 16,18 and one out of
a 16,19. These are the five fastest openers of all time, none under the
1.07,00. There have undoubtly been even faster openers on the 1000m, only to
finish with a time above 1.08.00, but they are not in my spreadsheet of 150
fastest 1000m results.

Well then, is the 600m passage important? Again not for the final result.
Jeremy Wotherspoon has the fastest four 600m results,

a 40,52 -after that 16,16!- ending in 1.07,31;  

a 40,56, ending in 1.07,03; a 40,62, ending in a 1.07,34 and 

a 40,67, ending in a 1.07,57

Only the 5th ever 600m passage made it under the 1.07.00: Pavel
Kulizhnikov's 40,73 -after a 16,22 opener- brought him to 1.06,70.

The first full round is much more important to the final result, but not a
perfect predictor either.

Jeremy Wotherspoon again is the best here: 

a 24,32, ending in a 1.07,34; 

a 24,36, ending in a 1.07,31 and 

a 24,37, ending in a 1.07,03 (the same of the 40.56 600m passage and
including a top-5 16,19 opener)

a 24,38, ending in a 1.07,57

Only the 5th ever first full round brought the first sub-1.07,00: Vincent
DeHaitre's 24,48 (after a 16,73 opener, ending in 1.06.72)

Is it the last lap then? Again, not a perfect predictor(but the best we
have). The man with the most devastating final 1000m lap is the American
'sprinter' Brian Hansen. Okay, you did not expect that, did you?

Brian Hansen managed a final lap in 25,23, finishing in 1.07.03 after an
opener that would Erben shout "TOO SLOW" in the studio (16,80), followed by
a 25,00 lap, resulting in a totally unimpressive -to Erben- 41,80 and then
that astounding 25,23. I would cry "TOO LATE" in the studio.

The 2nd fastest final lap on the 1000m comes from the man you'd expect:
Shani Davis. His worldrecord 1.06.42 was made witha final lap of 25,24 and
he both opened faster than Brian Hansen (16,67) and had a faster first lap
(24,51) but at 600m he had not yet anything to show (41,18)

The 3rd fastest final lap is also from Shani Davis. His 1.06.88 was skated
with a final lap of 25,30 after an opener of 16,96 and a first lap of 24,62
resulting in an unremarkable 600m of 41,58. The final lap did it here too.

The 4th fastest final lap is again from Shani Davis. His 1.06,67 was done
after a meagre 16,85 opener and included the 6th fastest first lap in 24,50
(600m an unremarkable 41,35) followed by an impressive 25,32

The 5th fastest final lap is from another American 'sprinter': Trevor
Marsicano. He opened -to Erben's tears- in 17,00 and let that be followed by
a reasonable 24,55 (10th ever first lap) giving 41,55 but his final 25,33
really did the trick: 1.06,88

The 6th best final lap is by Kjeld Nuis, who opened in 16,63, had a first
lap of 24,50 (also 6th ever) and a final lap of 25,38.

In order to improve, Kjeld needs to skate only a little bit faster laps

16,63 - 24,45 (41,08) - 25,30 (1.06,38) 

and if he combines it with the opener of his 2nd best result 

16,35 - 24,50 (40,85) - 25,50 (1.06,35)
