Happy new year! Does anybody have an overview of the matrix (SEVO) with pre-qualified skaters, and spots ahead of USAs Olympic Time Trials in Milwaukee? USA allowed to send up to 8 men and 6 women. Men: 3-3-3-1-1-2-1 Women: 2-2-2-(R1)-(R2)-2-1. Not on You Tube, only NBC?
 

I only know what the pre-qualification rules are according to the above published document. It would seem these skaters have prequalified for these distances as long as they skate them at the trials (except for illness/injury/exceptional circumstances). Perhaps you’ve already read this. I haven’t made it through the whole document yet. It explains the ranking of skaters and reduction process.

Section 6.3 Direct Nomination for Medalists and Consistent Performers

Jordan Stolz - 500m, 1000m, 1500m, mass start

Erin Jackson - 500m

Mia Manganello - mass start

No youtube. NBC & USA Network tv, NBC Peacock streaming, and possibly also streaming on nbcolympics.com.

For those still wondering about Stolz’s participation in the team pursuit, this is what he said earlier in an article posted 12/23 on nbcolympics.com:

NBC Olympics: You said in Hamar you probably will not be part of the team pursuit at the Olympics. You don't want to mess up the rhythm those guys have (Ethan Cepuran, Casey Dawson and Emery Lehman are the reigning world champions and world record holders). But if you were asked by those guys, would you consider skating an early round? Maybe it would help to give one of the guys a rest, or one of them isn't feeling great, something like that. I know this is a hypothetical, but what would your reaction and thoughts be on that?

Stolz: That possibility is there, but it's like a 25% chance that I do that. But I don't know, I haven't really decided. I've thought about it, but I just have to evaluate the risks of it. The (first round) heat is (the day) after the 500m, so maybe that one works. But I also don't want to mess them (Cepuran, Dawson and Lehman) up, because I think the heats are pretty important. I don't want it to be like, 'Oh, Jordan tripped (in the race), because he doesn't do enough team pursuits, and then Jordan cost us the gold medal.'

NBC Olympics: Would skating an early round of the pursuit -- the small chance that it happens -- and then those three guys go on to win the gold in the final, would getting a medal from skating an early round mean any less than any other medal?

Stolz: It would feel like less to me, but it would still be a gold medal from the Olympics. Hopefully an extra one that I would have gotten. The only thing that is tempting is Heiden has the record of five gold medals (at one Winter Olympics), so it's like, well, you kind of want to try and match that. If it was Heiden with the record of four gold medals then, no, I probably wouldn't even consider the team pursuit at all.

ISU Speed Skating Results - Live

The official ISU speed skating results website. With both live and historic results, draws, world cup standings, lap times and skater profiles
live.isuresults.eu live.isuresults.eu

Met Boutiette en Pelchat als deelnemers !

Ik denk dat Dawson op de 10 kilometer ook al geplaatst is.

Bij de mannen zijn er 13 individuele plekken voor 8 schaatsers. Stolz alleen neemt er al 4 in, dus we hebben er nu nog 9 plekken voor 7 schaatsers over. De selectievolgorde lijkt me dan ook niet echt een issue te worden. Die gaat overigens op basis van de klasseringen in de Wereldbeker.

EDIT. Dat betekent dat 500-3 de laagste is en daarna 1500-3.

Bij de vrouwen 8 plekken voor 6 schaatsers. Dat lijkt me ook geen probleem te worden.

I’m hoping those live results work.

I just read through most of the procedures, and it does appear that Casey Dawson is already placed for the 10000m, which makes sense (no 10K skated at the trials). It feels like that section was written just for him.

EDIT: https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/how-watch-2026-us-olympic-team-trials-long-track confirms Stolz, Dawson, Jackson, and Manganello have all qualified.

Thank you very much for your complementary information. 🙂 (Knew about the document + ISU live site. 👍)
 
Een mooi, nieuw topic voor de wedstrijden van januari 2026. Laat ik dan ook meteen maar gebruik maken van deze gelegenheid om jullie allen een gezond en voorspoedig 2026 te wensen!

Zaterdag staat in Inzell weer een Frillensee Cup, waar het leuke is dat er weer een heel nieuw blik Franse schaatsers is opengetrokken! 16 Franse schaatsers zullen daar zaterdag aan de start staan: 10 heren/jongens en 6 dames/meisjes. Benieuwd of er wat leuke tijden uit komen rollen!

Overigens rijden de Polen ook in Inzell dit weekend, met mooie namen: Zurek, Kania, Michalski, Wojtakowski, Baran, Bosiek, Ziomek en Wojtasik zijn aanwezig!

Hi admin: Move these last, new year postings to the january thread? (Canadian matrix also relevant)

Modbreak Sprintmaster: gedaan!

Stolz gaat in Milwaukee de 500, 1000, 1500, en zelfs 5000 meter rijden; een volledige juniorencombinatie dus. In oktober 2023 reed hij 34.66/1:07.85/1:42.31/6:20.76. Zou hij sneller kunnen dan dat? Hij zal niet aan zijn hooglandcombinatie van 33.96/1:05.37/1:40.87/6:25.28 komen, maar die op zeeniveau kan denk ik wel.
 
I really expected US Speedskating to have posted an update on trials/qualifying before now. Maybe it'll show up today.

Stolz is registered for all races as of right now. I'm curious if he is really going to race the 5000m. This article by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel seems to indicate otherwise, as they list the races for each day and note in parentheses that Stolz does not race on Friday. They have some direct quotes from Stolz about some of his World Cup races and also this paragraph:

“Stolz plans to skate the first Mass Start. After that race, it depends. If Stolz races to his satisfaction in the first 500 on Jan. 4 and first Mass Start on Jan. 5, he may not need or want a second chance at the second 500 meters and the second mass start later that day. Stolz's coach, Bob Corby, said Stolz probably won’t skate the second 500 race but likely will skate both mass starts.”
 
Rijdt Stolz de 5K voor tempo hardheid op de MS? Of will hij zich kwalificeren? Heeft hij stiekem 5x goud in zijn hoofd?
 
Als hij inderdaad de 5k gaat rijden zal dat wel een combinatie zijn van de MS, het WK allround, en misschien toch wel de TP. Olympisch goud op de 5 kilometer lijkt me niet het idee, dat is echt onmogelijk.
 
Draw is out for Friday’s 3000m & 5000m. As I expected, no Stolz in the 5000m.

Only 5 women in the 3000m. Giorgia Birkeland skates alone in pair 1. Greta Myers in pair 3.

Casey Dawson and Ethan Cepuran drive against each other in pair 3 of 4 in the 5000m.

Hello everyone, and happy new year! I am an American speed skating fan from Fremont, California. I found this forum two months ago while following the ISU World Cup stops, but became a new member just a few days ago.

I am a newer speed skating fan: I saw Jordan Stolz's performances in the 2023 World Single-Distance Championships, and was instantly captivated. I began following his skating journey, but that soon turned into an interest in the sport itself, as well as its history (especially in the Netherlands). It is very cool to see people here who have been fans for a much longer time! (I did follow the OKT results, and wow, what a tournament it was!)

My Dutch is not very good, but I'll try my best to improve on it. I look forward to discussing all things speed skating with y'all in the coming months, including the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics!

Hallo allemaal, en een gelukkig nieuwjaar! Ik ben een Amerikaanse schaatsfan uit Fremont, Californië. Ik heb dit forum twee maanden geleden gevonden toen ik de ISU WB volgde, maar ben pas een paar dagen geleden lid geworden.

Ik ben een nieuwe schaatsfan: ik zag Jordan Stolz presteren tijdens de WK van 2023 en was meteen verkocht. Ik begon zijn schaatscarrière te volgen, maar al snel raakte ik geïnteresseerd in de sport zelf en de geschiedenis ervan (vooral in Nederland). Het is erg gaaf om hier mensen te zien die al veel langer fan zijn! (Ik heb de OKT-resultaten gevolgd, en wauw, wat een toernooi was dat!)

Mijn Nederlands is niet erg goed, maar ik zal mijn best doen om het te verbeteren. Ik kijk ernaar uit om de komende maanden met jullie over alles wat met schaatsen te maken heeft te discussiëren, inclusief de OS in Milaan-Cortina!

Thanks for the info! Will be interesting to see how Cepuran does. Each of the three TP members will have to qualify individually, so Lehman & Cepuran will have to perform well in their individual distances (or mass start for Cepuran).

Welcome from a fellow American speed skating fan. I followed this forum for a few years before creating an account about one year ago. I’m delighted you’ve joined.

Nice article by NBC on the US TP trio. Also noting that Lehman is retiring after this season! (Don't know if this was reported already on here, my bad if it was)

Glad you posted this. I enjoyed it and was thinking about posting it, but forgot about it.

Here is another article that has some fun videos included. The first one is Sarah Warren and Ethan Cepuran talking about their 20-year friendship forged through speed skating. At the end is a shorter video with Brittany Bowe talking about her competitiveness with her partner, Team USA hockey captain Hilary Knight. In between is Jordan Stolz painting with pasta sauce.

It was known that Lehman was planning to retire after this season, but it’s always good to have official confirmation.
