So two World Cup meets into the 24-25 season and it hasn’t been interesting at all.

Jordan Stolz has started 8 races in the 500m, 1000m and 1500m. He has won all of them.

It’s actually a bit boring now. But so cool to see.

NBC had highlights of the World Cup in China today. The thing that I found astonishing was his closing speed in the 1500 (and to a lesser extent the 1000). Conventionally, I believe a shorter-distance skater would be expected to start fast and then fade at the end, but he picked up at least a half second in the final split over the second-place skater.
