You know their coaches fuckin YELLED at them for not paying attention lol
And the Chinese coaches were jumping up and down that their strategy worked.
Yelled, belittled, lost their only career given to them by the Chinese government, publicly humiliating them, forcing them to work as miners until they die, which might be forced sooner than should be... yk. China
@@danielklink9814hrm... watch again, maybe? Why would the Chinese coaches yell or get fired? They won...
@@cyanide187 motivation to not lose^ whatever it takes to avoid scenario
@@danielklink9814 the Chinese skaters finished 1 & 2
This isn't a trick by the winner, it's sheer idiocy by the rest.
why wouldnt they chase her down when she first took off? thats the only way to ever catch her? youre not making up a lap in that sport. it wasnt like they thought they would get a lap back later on like a car race. @rekuckuc_st
Agree. Also why dont they count their own laps? Lol
Terrible sport
@@bildad_the_shuhiteDoesn’t mean it wasn’t stupid. The smartest people can make the dumbest mistakes at times.
Nah but once she lapped the pack no one else had a chance
“Just focus on your own performance” can be great sporting advice for sports like this, this just shows that the best mindsets can be abused though
If you would have focused only on yourself you would have made the last lab out of habit.
@@mauer1you watched the same video right? there was a bell for the final lap. Normally that's all you need
@@hannanah8036 the bell that got used like half an eternity later than when you crossed the finish line.
This happened to me in a 2 mile race. There were two kids who sprinted the 1/4 mile in the beginning and remained in the pack afterwords and we all stopped when they did.
Was it an indoor meet? Indoor meets would always confuse me when the track wasnt a perfect 200/400 loop.
@@a.soraparu773 nope perfect track and home field. just a complete following of the heard. All teams except the first few victors were following their lead. Even their own team mates that weren’t in front followed.
Always someone saying this happened to me man this the most wild shit to say
you ran 2 miles in a circle? that's so brutal.
@@GorgieClarissarunning the 2 mile on an indoor track is even worse: typically 16 laps total needed (200m track). So easy to get lost on how many laps you've done and people get lapped all the time.
There are smaller indoor tracks (145m) that take 22 laps to run the 2 miles!
I hated indoor track as a long distance runner.
Hey remember that time 2 Chinese speed skaters just absolutely clowned their heat?
Something something I didn't train for this...
-- everyone else
😂
@@xmarine73 yup absolutely took advantage of what they did train for which was not to get a lap ahead early on. They never trained with that in mind.
Fuck, I barely remember yesterday
O yea i member
When I was watching this live I was shouting “she’s one lap ahead of everybody, how are the other skaters forgetting this?!”
"Women sports"
No u didn’t bud
I think it's because she hid at the back of the pack for the rest of the race! Out of sight, out of mind...
Ah, I've worked it out. They likely thought they were racing for second, but were just confused about the final lap call. Maybe they didn't realise how far ahead the girl was.
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Uhm, have you watched short track speed skating before? A lap is less than 10 seconds. If she shoots off and you don't chase and she reattaches to the pack you have almost no chance. Second is the coaches have boards to give info, it's ultimately a massive fail forgetting there's two Chinese skaters and not counting down the laps.
In case you are confused, here's the trick. When the announcement came on saying that this is the final lap, it was meant for the leading skater who was then the "last" in the pack. However, the other skaters thought the message was meant for the entire pack, causing them to go on a mad dash to complete the final lap. When these tricked skaters crossed the what they thought was the finish line, they actually had one more lap to go, but they all slowed down thinking the race was over with one of them the winner. The real winner was the Chinese skater behind them all. This benefited the other Chinese skaters who kept on maintaining the speed to finish 2nd place. To ensure the real leader sells this trick, he/she has to make the complete loop ahead early in the race. This gives the rest of the skaters more time to forget that they are actually trailing the leader. It’s a risky strategy because by exerting too much energy to get 1 complete loop ahead, that skater risks the chance of expending too much strength to maintain the stamina to stay ahead of the pack, resulting the rest of the pack catching up. Stamina is just as important as speed in these long-distance races.
That explains nothing. The confusion is why no one else was even trying the entire time. It makes the sport look fake. And those silly poses the losers make at the end pointing their toes. You cant tell me this sport isnt just a big performance.
That is better commentary.
You had me till the end, now i have my doubts, but thank you cause this short is missing crucial points that have me feeling like i should understand this but critical info, like how many laps is this race would be helpful, so the other chinese gals were in on the strategy? Thats where i thought i had it, then lost you. but thanks, i'll move on with my life now.
You literally just commented what he said in the video lol
@@asthecitysleepsofficial That's why I started my comment with: "In case you are confused". If you are not, why did you read on?
Important context that's easy to miss, they have to do 14 laps. not the 3-4 that you see in track sports. I imagine it must be very easy to lose count, especially when they're focused on their performance, they're really relying on the announcer to count laps for them.
And also they are teens
you would think their coach is helping with keeping track too... It would make sense
Your brain can handle doing multiple things at once.
Sure, I can maybe understand loosing count of the laps...maybe. It's a stretch, considering these are very high class athletes that know what they are doing (and have done this thousands of times).
But how do you loose track of a WHOLE PERSON lapping you? Did they all just have their eyes closed while she moved to 1/4th, and then 1/2, and then 3/4ths ahead of them on the track? I mean, at some point they all had to be slow skating on one side of the track while she was frantically fast skating on the other side....
@@bildad_the_shuhiteik, everyone else just forgor
They didn't break any rules. They just outsmart everyone.
Nah I think the other's just outdummed her
Outsmarting your opponents is AGAINST the rules😂😂😢
Easy to outsmart a blind woman
She*
Out dumbed dumb?
its pretty awesome that she lapped the field and just hung out in back, drafting, saving energy and didnt have to do much of anything to win. awesome strategy!
Its more like a one time trick play. This was so insane and out of the box that most people in general have seen it so imagine at the professional level. This is never happening again

How many of y’all saw that video of the guy who didn’t know how to explain it and we were all confused
Hilariously well put, and so true......
Pure definition of "Play Smart Not Hard"
A genius IQ play, and can’t be mad it. Even if the skaters forgot the coach needs to be calling it out. A blunder on so many levels.
I don't think coaches are allowed to interfere during the event, they're definitely facepalming hard though.
Uhh it was actually the coaches job to know this was going to happen
@@jayskate6631 The coaches can "know" but they are not allowed to interfere with the game. These are international competitions and they would never permit such interference aside from during Timeout sessions. Clearly no timeouts here so no way for the coach to deliver a message to fast paced athletes. This is not football/NBA where the player can run to the sideline to hear the coach.
@@yunsha9986 what a terrible mindset, just because coaches can’t do anything during the race doesn’t mean they aren’t able to prep their players before the race. You really think the coaches do nothing and simply say it’s because they aren’t able too?
@@jayskate6631 You are calling me out for a "terrible mindset" but aren't you the one playing the blame game just a comment earlier? Saying the coach should have known it...?
Damn they outsmarted everyone. Her staying at the bac was apart of the plan and you can tell they were both in on it because she stays behind her teammates the entire time. The team mate could’ve tried to push closer to the front but that would’ve blown the plan. Totally genius
LOL... outsmarting is generous
Shake n' Bake, haha.
outskated!
If her team mate had pushed forward then everyone she passed would have assumed it was the first skater lapping them and would have chased her down - so of course they both had to know beforehand that she was at the back but one lap ahead, also, *she* skates on to complete her final lap because the girls out front assumed it was the lapper coming from behind to claim the win - *thats* where they screwed up. Everyone else was just left confused.
This borderline cheating. I mean, it’s legal but it’s in the gray. It’s definitely not morally cool.
they were probably like. "OMG it actually worked!" 😂😂now they can never do that trick again
It cannot work for many people. She needs great stamina for this, and also good coordination, as you can tell others find it easy to forget their laps.
It’s actually not an easy trick to do, Koreans have tried this strategy even before the Chinese but they failed
how can you forget that you got immediately lapped at the start of the race
the confusion came when the call was made for "last lap" because they all just took it as that, not realizing that it was the last lap call only for the girl at the end of the field, not for them.
From another comment, they do 14 laps.
@@LuciferMorningstar-wk8qu14 laps or 4. How the fuck do you forget that?

@@twsamuelsbro. Ive been on kickboxing tournaments and breakdance shows. You forget a lot when you compete or perform in front of a lot of people. And i did it front of a thousand, not competing in front of millions.
@@maxmustermann1533lmao breakdancing 😂 bro this is actual sports
@AutonomousCollective break dance is a real sport my dude. You try going from the floor, back up into the air with only your arms, and then spin on one hand to a freeze. Aint no average Joe can do that. "Breaking for Gold" was an event that happened for breakdance to be part of the Olympics. But the decision got canceled due to not being able to make money from it. So they choose "Cricket" for more money purposes.
They forgot they got lapped cuz they technically never got lapped 😂
and now everyone's gonna be eyeing these chicks every move on the ice, kinda thing that only works once hopefully they got the most out of this one.
^^^ this guys right hahaha this is the kinda play you only get away with one time. She embarrassed everyone infront of their home countries. That’s not something people forget about 😂😂
And they yelled final lap!
Freakin shake and bake lol they got em
They never got lapped. she led the race from the back of the pack.
They used that ancient Chinese secret on their a$$! 😂😂😂
When you byheart a book but not understand it...😂😂
Did they think she just disappeared or something? How does that happen?
They just forgot she did it because she returned to skating with the pack again, which seemed to have played to their subconscious viewing her as another skater who’s just towards the end of pack… rather than still seeing her as the skater who’s a lap ahead.
Same face
Yes paired with the fact that they knew that the second team member needed to cross so they weren't too worried about the first one who went ahead... but then forgetting about it completely hurt them in the end because they misread the final lap being theirs @@Austin.Kilgore
@@Austin.Kilgore I'm so confused why no one did the same thing she did though. This is supposed to be the best of the best, and she can just lap them by actually trying the whole time. I'm compltely ignorant to the sport so I wont say too much because I'm sure theres a reason, but from the outside looking in, it's weird.
The video is heavily cut, iirc its a 40 lap endurance race and she did that sprint 2nd or 3rd lap
When the gimmick strategy actually works
How is it a gimmick if she simply stayed in first place the whole time.
@@snowpaw360Because it literally relies on the other skaters not realizing they aren’t on the final lap, and somehow forgetting that she skated past all of them and was WAY ahead. If they were smart/better they would’ve all went as fast as they could’ve to stay alongside her not just af gas if she doesn’t exist.
@@nickfrison9716that sounds a lot like the other skater problem and not hers. It’s a competition, there no tricks involved and it’s not like the other skaters were blindsided they saw her clearly as day sped up early on.
@@AshunPhubu All those things don't change the fact it's a gimmick.
@@snowpaw360Cause the strategy relies on something you can't control (other players not noticing you or forgetting). Making it a one-off strategy or what we call a gimmick. A car racing equivalent is when you base your whole strategy on hoping someone crashes so you can win.
It’s one of the smartest tactics I’ve seen in any sport and I’m not an speed skating fan even 😂
Situational awareness matters all of the time.
Skaters memory is as bad as a baseball player forgetting how many outs there are.
XD accurate
cyclists too
lol frrrrr
Literally lmao
7 right?
Smart fucking play, no cheating or anything. Good strat changing how they always do stuff to get the win for the both of them
Why aren't they all skating fast? I'm so confused why they are cruising in race.
@@aries3479it’s just at the start it’s just something speed skaters always do. so china speeds through that which is not against the rules.
@lifeofjonesi am I the only one that thinks it's ridiculous. You're in a competition and you are allowed to take off but most speed skaters say "nah ill just cruise a few laps first" haha I might even be more confused now.
@@aries3479its an endurance race of 40 laps. different player different strat
@@aries3479you wouldn’t sprint in a marathon , would you?
It’s a “weird sport” to pace yourself and have strategy. In cross country people will sprint at the beginning for position, slow down to pace, pick up pace in different areas, sprint at the end. If you want to talk about a weird sport, look at and understand all the rules governing baseball and be able to implement them in the moment.
Teamwork and a crazy plan working because everyone else is skating according to “meta” and not thinking it through. This may not work to many more times, but great idea!
That's inSANE strategy, I love that. Don't let anyone take that away from you, you earned that W. If you can outsmart your opponents you don't have to be faster physically.
Well, technically, you do and she was!
@@TherealTruth40their total race time was faster though. So in this heat they were indeed faster.
Technically she did both 😂
how is this insane? why wasn’t everyone sprinting? why is everyone starting slow? just go? only 1 skater that had a brain apparently… well done to you i guess…. shocker
@@realpunchtreeskeep trying to teach Olympians how to improve. I’m sure that’s an effective use of your time and they could def use your advice

outsmarted and outplayed
But they see her get way out in front of everyone and the rest of the field just says, “eh second is good?”
That’s what I’m saying? Tf is this sport
@masterraccoon2883 I’m not hating on this sport, I literally just don’t understand it. It’s a 2:30 race, why are they not going all out on every lap? If I am running the mile in track I’m not walking the first 3 laps and then sprinting on the final one 😂
@masterraccoon2883 that makes way more sense
@Clayton4Man going less than your full tilt and then going full out at the end is like basic running technique, so idk what you are even saying right now 😅 do you even run?
@@djLagwayEnjoyer You have to treat this more like a marathon bro, its 40 laps and if you burst out all your stamina in the beginning you gonna run out of gas and lose out in the last few laps. They usually preserve their stamina to be able to complete the entire 40 laps as fast as they can.
And it's not like walking in the first few laps it's more like jogging in the first few laps and then increasing the pace slowly and bursting in the final few laps (or when you want to overtake).
After reading some comments this should clear it up.
This is an endurance variant of Skating so there are about 40 laps. The Chinese lady apparently did sprinted in the earlier stages like lap 2 or 3 and then sat at the back of the pack for the rest of it confusing the other competitors other than her team mate. That is why the 2nd Chinese continued to pick up 2nd place whilst the others thought they had finished but still had 1 lap left
40 laps? I am the Hungarian girls' teammate, and in our sport, the most you'll go in the individual person races is 1500m which is 13,5 laps. But mistakes happen
There's a "13 laps to go" counter at the beginning, 11s in, and a 2:30 counter when she finishes. Took them 2 minutes to forget getting lapped.
@@CodeKujo because it's the youth olimpics, they are teens, and it was all very confusing (she probably thought she miscalculated and only had to go one lap)
@@bildad_the_shuhite Thank you, that makes much more sense than -Aidan's explanation!

Good strategy but an hour later you want to do it again.

How the other two thought they were fighting for the win when they didn't even chase down the leader is embarrassing when you're racing at that level.
Woman moment
@masterraccoon2883except she didn’t lose. The Chinese gal did it and won…
@masterraccoon2883 But she won by speeding up early . . .
She only won because no one challenged her, then she got to the back of the pack (still first) and just had to finish the race. If she had people fighting for first they all would have used up more energy, and she could have lost in that situation.@@nathanielcunningham4838
@masterraccoon2883 It is only 13 laps, distance of 1500m.
The other skaters got bamboozled/“played”/tricked. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that one person’s sneaky actions fucks the whole thing up 😂😂
People often get confused by the pacemakers in athletics, but this really shows why they're needed. You cant just walk for the first laps of a 1500 or the pacemaker will just run away with it.
Just my opinion. For a stage like the olympics where medaling outshines your race time/split time. A pacer would be terrible. You shouldn’t need any more help/motivation and I’m sorry but if you miss a racer passing you in speed skating, you deserve to look bad.
See David Moorcroft breaking the 5000m world record.
@@OplzStretchyalso this sport is just stupid. Why does everyone not just jet out to like the person who finished first?? Why is everyone going slow asf?
@@djLagwayEnjoyerbecause they are doing many laps which requires endurance, and it’s physically impossible to go full speed the entire time. So, they strategically pace themselves at the beginning of the race and sprint at the end like pretty much all racing sports that require endurance. You don’t sprint at the beginning of a long-distance race in track do you?
They would’ve been able to catch up to 1st place later in the race if they hadn’t made the stupid mistake of forgetting she was a lap ahead.
But it’s not even that much of an endurance race, it’s a 2:30 race, pretty comparable to like a 1.5 or 2km race. People don’t walk at the start of a 2km race, even if they are pacing themselves.
I remember when Australia won the *olympic gold* by literally "walk over" other fallen contestants LOL
They don't normally start slow, it was just a long distance race probably 1500 meters so they did something called a buildup where they build up the speed overtime
How to do you forget someone is a full lap ahead?

Ik vind het indrukwekkend hoe jij alles zo luchtig en positief kan brengen, erg mooi ❤
😂😂😂 that was hilarious for some reason. They all got bamboozled
Lol I wonder if they intentionally meant to trick them like that or if it was just a happy coincidence… like was that always the goal of her quickly dashing ahead at the start like that or was there another strategical reason behind it entirely and that was just an unintentional side effect?
100% intentional
Based on the fact that the other skater also participated in the mad dash, "as if it was the last lap"... but knowing full well that it was not (hence her not jutting her skate out, but instead continuing the lap).
100p intentional
They planned it, hence why they took first and second.
The one who came second had the same colour as the one who came first.
@@drebkno, she didn’t stick her foot out - she was mad dashing because even if it was the second last lap, if the other 2 skaters took off she’d be left behind right before the real finish. Also, what happened here was - they let the 1st Chinese girl go - they knew they were battling for second and couldn’t keep up so they let her lap them and continued the slow game. Where they got confused was thinking they were racing that Chinese girl who as Jim boy clearly states, doesn’t actually lounge for the finish because of the last lap announcement, not her taking off to keep up to them on the second last lap.
Wow, bummer to realize how many Jomboy fans openly dislike women.
You'd think when they compete in a sport where they go around a track for less than 20 laps, they'd be able to count the laps for themselves...
they are focusing on themselves, you dont look at others during sprints why should they? it was a misplay to not identify that she took a lap early but not insane..
Love the Chinese. I'm in their community all the time. Lovely people lovely children I weekly visit their homes and tutor their children. Beautiful community. More beautiful than my own nationality.
That was 100% planned out! It’s like a trick play from the Chinese skating team
...a trick for children. Imagine forgetting that you are a whole lap behind
@@3TortsYou'd be surprised to know that these were actually children... the youth team...
@@3Torts these races always start out slow, what the girl who passed everyone did was not expected and its really risky to completely change strategies mid game in the OLYMPICS... burning through all your energy right at the start, you'd probably still end. up behind her. theres a million different things to think about
...LOL. There is far less than "a million different things to think about." Those girls are oblivious. Pretty embarrassing. @@sokavisnu
@@3Torts easy to say with hindsight. it's easy to point out weakness. which is why finger pointers stay weak.
why do speedskaters start off slowly im a little confused?
I'm not in the sport but I do have experience with a variety of collegiate and professional athletics. Consider this as only an educated guess.
Based on what I know about runners, it is often prudent to start with a pace that you know you can maintain throughout the event. This allows the athlete to better gauge when to turn on the proverbial jets in order to maximize the chances of winning. If you know you'll be exhausted after a 100m sprint, you may want to save it for the last 99.9m. Let's compare that with jogging. When a runner is fresh, a 1km jog doesn't require too much expenditure; when exhausted, that same 1km is grueling and difficult. In theory, it's the same distance in the same amount of time, but that's generally not how muscles work. This is especially true when those muscles are pushed to their limit.
If you've ever done a really tough leg day at the gym, you might remember walking like a groaning penguin the next day. In theory, walking is just walking, but in reality it's much easier when you're fresh than when you've already taxed your muscles to their limits.
If a skater could maintain a sprint pace start to finish, surely they'd just do that. But given the option between run-jog and jog-run, the smart athlete will choose the latter.
With the short sprint at the start, this racer gambled that she would have to push a little harder for the rest of the jog and would still have enough energy to maintain that lead (perhaps as a result of the deception) during the final sprint.
@@sabinrawr In short track speed skating it's all about drafting and sprinting, not so much about managing pace to set a time.
This is a 1500m race, so far closer in concept to a Keirin track cycling race than anything from running. The far higher speeds involved in speed skating and track cycling (compared to running) means that aerodynamics plays a much larger role because frontal air resistance is proportional to speed squared.
The skater who breaks the pace first and leads the race at the front has to make all their own speed, while the others can follow behind in the slipstream and save their energy for a sprint at the end.
The flip side is that the skater who does break the pace first can occasionally catch the others by surprise and make a large enough gap that the others will have to chase them down without getting a slipstream.
But who is to lead the group behind in chasing the leader? If they pull hard and lead they will not have much left for the sprint at the finish, so it's not really a surprise that it was one of the Korean skaters who started the chase - perhaps with thinking that working together maximised their chances of salvaging a good result.
In Elite competition you'll see a number of different variations on the tactics as well, as opposed to the reactive thinking and low tactical awareness of most of the skaters in this Youth Olympics race. But they'll learn from this.
Track cycling takes this to a whole different level with the Points Race and Madison formats where the race is won by accumulating points rather than the order across the finish line. 5-3-2-1 points are available to the first four riders in the sprint every 10 laps, but 20 points is awarded to a rider who can break away and lap the field.
@@mashy0001 Cycling is another sport I have little experience with. I had not considered the aspect of aerodynamics, but that makes perfect sense. It looks like it was right about saving energy for the spring, though I want quite right on the reasoning. Thanks for the added perspective!
@@sabinrawrthis was a 2:30 minutes race, not a marathon (and even marathon runners put more effort the whole race).
What they're doing only works if everyone does it (as shown by the video)
It’s not a thinking man’s sport
They start slow because no one wants to lead the draft just to boost the other team.
That tactic has a downside. Skating really takes every calorie from you, you can just knock down from it. There's Chinese male Skater who tried the tactic and just lost.
Speed skating is one of the worst competitions. Half the competitors get eliminated or wreck. It's like demolition derby on ice.
Thats why its awesome
@@BananaManV5 its also always down to the very last inch, remember Steven Bradbury? :D
@@lazygamerz Bradbury is the ultimate comeback legend. He was the favourite going into the olympics to be crashed out. Then one of the favourites going into the world cup series to have a competitor cut through all his quads and almost kill him.To make the comeback for the next olympics to be crashed out again. Coming back from a broken back to even make the 2002 olympics is amazing. Seems to be one of those sports where the fastest doesn't win. It is the fastest who finishes.
The longer distance ones do start slow, but the 500m ones, the shortest distance, have these skaters going all out from start to finish.
Fair, but this is a 40 lap race which is long distance. This is not a "speed race" as the commentator mistakingly states.
Just changed the whole game name to this being a long as speed race 😂😂😂😂
They had everybody in their genjutsu lol
Not all speed skating starts slow, just FYI.
Speedskating is one thing. Short track is another
Supper weird it’s like we’re watching and commenting about little mice on what they do as a group. Lol
I’ve been waiting for someone to do this for years. Maybe now they’ll actually race the entire distance.
I love how sometime athletes sometimes are clever as fuck and actually get rewarded for that
Everyone else got fucking bamboozled so hard.
Literally just won a road cycling race doing the same thing and the second place finisher was furious. Out of sight out of mind.
It make sense to do the mad dash at the beginning, while everyone is going super slow, you don't have to work that hard to pass them up & get ahead... And, then keep their pace, that's easy...
Its not cheating. Its a baller move.
It sure feels like its cheating.
I loveit.
This calls into question the entire way the sport of speed skating is currently being played.
Care to elaborate?
@@bildad_the_shuhite I think the video makes it pretty obvious. Chiefly Why are 2 skaters from the same country allowed to skate in the same race? This is obvious collusion
@@XxJERICHOHOLICxX13lol. what? back to 4 chan
@@dustyc324 do you not see the obvious conflict of interest?
@@XxJERICHOHOLICxX13 you don't know how sports work, apparently. back to the 4 Chan boards, son. or Google at least. maybe investigate how the race contestants are chosen. have you ever watched the Olympics? two athletes from the same country competing against each other in an individual event is not at all uncommon.
I think as she stayed back it made them mentally not think that she was ahead of them or that she was still behind them so they don't pay her no mind.If she did pull up to where they were they probably would have reacted differently.Smart on her part.
the sexism in the comments section is crazy considering the two Chinese skaters who pulled this off are also women, but no one’s talking about how smart their move was……
When only one person is giving full effort, I’m suspicious from the beginning.
That's because you don't understand the sport. The slow pace is always how short track speed skating is done. You can look up why, if you want, I'm not going to type that all out here.
this is 40 laps. she did it in lap 2/3. this would be like doing mad dash on marathon at beginning.
@@nevermind5657 im a real athlete. I dont need you to explain anything to me.
in any top 0.1% sport that's insanley unacceptable to be that oblivious
It's the youth olimpics?
@@bildad_the_shuhite still 100% getting paid for it
They look like if Stan Lee of Marvel designed a new type of storm trooper for George Lucas.
How can no one ever thought of this strategy before in the history of speed skating?
This is what you get for not being able to tell the Chinese apart
Jokes on them when they say all Asian all look alike.
Good one 😂
Lol. 😂😂😂😂
"It's called speed skating. We do not go fast though, not for a while."
Look at the 500m races
"why chinese makes this so competitive 😒"
"Wait a second..."

This is why critical thinking skills are important
Lap counting is critical thinking now? Look out phd!
@Goofayball It helps to not be sheep and just default to doing the same thing every race. Critical thinking skills def don't get you a PhD, plenty of idiots out there with degrees
@@Goofayball It's pretty critical for a race, yes. I don't know why you don't think lap count isn't important in a race.
I’m not so sure counting is critical thinking. I learned it from a vampire puppet. One, twooo, threeeee.
@@theredrooster7143 Counting isn't, understanding what the situation was is.
She just broke the sport lol
Achievement unlocked
It shows the great discipline by the 2 Chinese skaters. They never forgot how many laps they made
Short Track Speed Skater here, the officials FUCKED up. When I race and there are people on different laps, the officials in the centre and/or the lap counter will tell the skaters however many laps they have left. The bell will still go off when the person in first crosses the line for their final lap, but the other lapped skaters will be told however many laps are left for them.
Remember, most skaters don't count their own laps, the officials and lap counters must do that for them so really, they fucked up
she didnt lap them though. she stayed behind the last person the entire time, so she didnt lap them. it was genius
@@chrismyco7950 Oh I know she didn't lap them, but even still she would have been on a different lap than the rest of them. I've had someone do this to me before in a 1500m race but the officials didn't screw up
Only 2 of those women are wearing skates and the rest are wearing clown shoes.
You know it's the youth olimpics right?
This made me laugh, women in sports is such a treat!
To be fair they are children, it's the youth olymoics
When you train for one thing and one thing only.
And that one thing is not "counting". 😅
The event of things going wrong and contestants in speed skating falling over has never been beter exemplified than at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics when Aussie Steven Bradbury won his nation's first ever Gold medal.
This is the epitome of why most sports are so hindered nowadays and winners arent representatives of the best.
Most sports have fallen into a malaise where people are merely playing down to the competition instead of doing their best.
Ice skating shows it best. The entire group normally just mosies around the rink until someone is declared winner.. It's so bad that when a person actually races to something close to their full capacity, it somehow becomes them "tricking" the other racers. 😅😅 Going fast is such a trick 😂
….you gotta pull the stick out my man. It’s really not healthy to have it so far up there! lol
I dont watch ice skating but does it have to do with drafting? Most running races have pacers in front to keep heats fast. Cycling doesn't have this because if you lap the field then the last lap becomes everyone's last lap. The field doesn't have to come around again.
@AustinZahm Interesting thought. Yeah thats how motocross works too. If a racer gets lapped, they dont keep racing once the checkered comes out.
I'm pretty sure they take advantage of drafting when they can. But, that kinda goes into what my main point is. The focus on one specific aspect (drafting/saving energy) hinders the actual performance. Basically, i know theres reasons to stay in the group like that. But, the sport has devolved into that instead of just going out and racing your best.
@@AustinIsTheGreatests Oh nvm. Re-read it and now understand what you meant. lol My bad
@@AustinIsTheGreatestsThat’s how it would’ve worked here too, except that she never lapped the field. The woman who won caught up to the last place racer and then hung out behind her for the remainder of the race
Short track should not be anything but like a pickup sport. It's more like roller derby and never should be in the Olympics.
This what we call Outplayed
it’s crazy this isn’t the first time this has happened in a big speed skating event
I'm very curious, I very much love to see outplay/outsmart moment from athlete at Olympic.. So can u provide me the info/link who had successfully done such feats like this before?..
Big brain moment, and it's beautiful to see it play out 👏
