Don't get into a drag race with Petra Majdic.
My podium picks were so-so. In picking Hattestad for second, I wrongly discounted his ability to win two straight races. I picked Morilov for third; he did make the final. Kjoelstad blew up and finished 44th. Nice race, Johan. On the other hand, I was not surprised to see Majdic win (as predicted), and I lucked out when Matveeva finished second, just as I thought. (As the video shows, she'll never overpower Majdic.) I expected an unknown Norwegian to finish third, and I was right - sorta: a different unknown Norwegian took the bronze.

I can't believe that someone is managing to dominate the men's side of sprinting, least of all Hattestad (whom I picked to decline after last year!). It's crazy that he can consistently win against such sharp competition.
Majdic doesn't exactly look pretty skating, does she? But she goes fast as all hell so I guess it works out.
