Wasn't that a major goof on the lane marking by the event organizer?

skier or skater?

I saw a skater on TV last night - but nothing about a skier. (Cannot access link on this site)

One would think so huh....:roll: Kinda shows how many organizers are/were skiers...

catskillman.....Yeah..pretty much the same mental processes of each participant...skier/skater comes near the completion of a grueling event and they're supposed to be on top of their mental game...? Amazing how they came within ~24hrs of one another.

Can someone explain what happened? I can't view the video here.

basically they were coming into the stadium (X ctry) and the leader turned into the inner loop instead of staying on the outer loop. Game over.

Another gaffe at the men's 10,000 speed skating. This poor guy's coach really messed it up. Watch from 3:30. He believes he just won the gold, but after realizing he was disqualified, goes ballastic at his coach, rightfully.
