WK afstanden, Heerenveen, 2-5 maart 2023

De 6.21.10 van Bloemen was toch sneller dan de 6.21.73 van Lee (Zuid Korea) op de 5000? Waarom hebben die dan een startplek en de derde van Canada niet? Ook de tijd van Belchios (6.19) is voldoende, ook al zakte hij net van geschoonde 16 naar 17 dit weekend.

Volgens mij kan je de derde plek alleen op stand en niet op tijd binnenhalen.

Thats in the olympics.

How many countries will win medals at the championships? Make your guess

100%: Nederland, Canada, Noorwegen, USA, Japan, Zuid-Korea, Italië (zonder wisselfouten).
Daarna kansen voor België, Oostenrijk, Tsjechië, China en misschien een verrassing op een TS of MS

Poland also? And Spain. Estonia.

I guess 8 countries

Ah, scherp gezien. Ik heb het aangepast.

I asked ChatGPT is he could write a fictive referat about the duel between Ragne Wiklund and Antoinette De Jong on the 3k in World Championships. Here is the answer:

Welcome to this fictive referat of the 3000 meters speed skating competition between Ragne Wiklund and Antoinette Rijpma de Jong.

The two skaters took to the ice with fierce determination, each striving to claim victory in this highly anticipated race. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as they watched the skaters make their way around the track.

As the race progressed, both Ragne and Antoinette showed incredible skill and stamina, pushing themselves to the limit with each stride. Their movements were fluid, their form strong, and their speed was electrifying.

However, in the end, it was Ragne Wiklund who emerged as the winner of the 3000 meters speed skating competition. She finished the race in a time of 3:56.47, beating out Antoinette Rijpma de Jong by just 0.32 seconds.

Ragne's victory was well-deserved, as she showed incredible focus, skill, and determination throughout the race. She skated with confidence and grace, leaving her opponent and the audience in awe.

Antoinette, while coming in second, also gave an impressive performance, showing her strength and skill as a skater. Her form was impeccable, and she pushed herself to the limit in every stride.

Those are the winners of the championships, according to the ChatGPT!

ChatGPT forgot 3k and 10k, so I asked him to add the winners there too:

Yes, I can definitely name the winners of the 3000 meter women and 10,000 meter men races.

The winner of the 3000 meter women's race is Ragne Wiklund from Norway with a time of 3:58.21, setting a new personal best and national record. She displayed a dominant performance, leading the pack from start to finish and winning by a significant margin.

In the 10,000 meter men's race, the winner is Patrick Roest from the Netherlands with a time of 12:44.31. He had a strong start and steadily increased his pace throughout the race, eventually overtaking his competitors and finishing with an impressive time. This win is especially significant for Roest, as he had narrowly missed out on a medal in this distance in the previous championship.

AI needs to be renamed to AH ... artificial hallucination. Perhaps until it learns to fact-check itself.

Were any of those times copied from some other event, or is it all just complete bogus?

Well, ChatGPT is trained with data up till 2021, so it doesn't know anything about what happened in 2022 or 2023. You can not use that tools like this for things like this.

De ISU heeft de uiteindelijke lijst met geplaatsten gepubliceerd. https://isu.org/docman-documents-li...hips-2023-heerenveen-final-ranking-lists/file

Als je de plaatsing na Calgary (WB4) vergelijkt met de plaatsing na Tomaszow (WB6) verandert er zeer weinig.

De enige veranderingen:
5000m mannen: CAN-3 ipv KOR-1
Massastart mannen: CHN-1 ipv POL-1

Was er iemand meer in vorm in Tomaszow, maar wordt deze op basis van de slome baan nu uitgesloten van het WK die daar wel had moeten staan? Een talent als Dauranova op de 1000m bijv of wat meer Duitse tickets (Emele reed zijn beste uitslagen de laatste wereldbeker (geschoond 18e 1500m obv tijden))

Norway:

Kvinner:
500m: Martine Ripsrud
1000m: Martine Ripsrud
1500m: Ragne Wiklund
3000m: Ragne Wiklund og Sofie Karoline Haugen
5000m: Ragne Wiklund og Sofie Karoline Haugen
Fellesstart: Sofie Karoline Haugen
Lagtempo: Aurora Løvås, Ragne Wiklund og Sofie Karoline Haugen

Menn:
500m: Håvard Lorentzen og Bjørn Magnussen
1000m: Håvard Lorentzen
1500m: Peder Kongshaug, Sander Eitrem og Allan Dahl Johansson
5000M: Sander Eitrem, Sigurd Henriksen og Hallgeir Engebråten

Fellesstart: Kristian Ulekleiv
Lagtempo: Sverre Lunde Pedersen, Peder Kongshaug og Sander Eitrem
Lagsprint: Henrik Fagerli Rukke, Håvard Lorentzen og Bjørn Magnussen

Why has the level in Norwegian women's skating always been worse than men's skating?

Henriksen and Eitrem are going to do the 10km, nice

Ik kijk heel erg uit naar de ritten van Sigurd Henriksen. Zou hij nog een keer en WR junioren kunnen rijden?

Als niet dan is hij volgend jaar nog steeds junior.
