World Games 2017 - Speed Skating - Final - Men 15.000M ELIMINATION

Damn that little Frenchman owes that big ass German a beer for all that draft time back there.

That first move by the German and the Frenchman was epic af and I didn’t even know this sport existed.

"What on earth you guys doing? It's a fifteen thousand meter, elimination race. Is nobody told you?" The commentator is awesome

French dude inhales the german dudes farts for 100 laps then blows past him on the last lap using the fart energy that he collected. What a move.

I can’t believe I actually watched all 20+ min of that race

can they please add this sport to the summer Olympics? i would totally watch this

One of interesting findings during Covid19 lockdown.

I was supposed to only watch 20 seconds of this..... ended up watching the whole thing

"i don't know what he's up to, but i don't like it"

omg... im 3 minutes in and it just hit me... (watching this sport for the first time) ... if they catch up to the rest of the pack, they can slipstream a lap ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind blown

Hahahaha "Let's just get one lap in front so I can REALLY relax for the rest of the race."

Watching this as a road cyclist is fascinating. We use similar tactics, and in pro races there's always someone who attacks from the first kilometer like these guys did, though the difference is over 99% of the time they're doomed to get caught since the teams in the group behind work to bring them back at the last possible minute. I was on the edge of my seat the whole 20 minutes, rooting for the breakaway wondering when they would eventually get caught, but was delighted to see them stay away. These two guys are ahead of the game for sure.

The German gave me a Lesson in real life. Why not go for the advantage if you can.

Big credits for silver medalist

its a genius tactic, if you get the sprint on at the start and lap them, even if you use alot of energy its good. because ot means that for someone else to beat you they are going to have to have a go at it and get that lap back halfway or at the end of the race, its much easier to get the sprint on at the start and just hang in for the rest than sprint at the end and hang on at the start

Coach : Hang in there till the last few rounds left and then go for the medal. Those 2 Guys : I am gonna ruin career of every coach.

Speaker guy is funny, probably why I kept watching after 7 minuets

That race was for third place!

25min race is just to decide who is the 3rd place.. lol

the way they sway from side to side is actually quite soothing
