Closing Games Turnhout

The last two weeks i only saw circuits and cars but now it was time for some shorttack speed-skating.

This year more then 165 skaters joined the last competition of the season in Turnhout. This competition has no all final system but a time based classification.

In the first round everybody has to set a fast time. Then the next round they go straight to the final of that distance. The layout of the races in the final is based on the time of the heats. This is the only way to let all the skaters skate 4 times in one day.

It is not the most fair system but everybody is used to it and likes the simple system.

I did the photo finish at this competition and i enjoyed watching the races. After a long season the skaters still managed to go fast enough to break there own personal records. During this competition there is no pressure of national championships or what ever so the skaters are relax and easily break there records.

After the competition i went straight home for my sisters birthday party and tomorrow i can finally can sleep with using the alarm clock.

Now there is only one week left to focus me on school and then i go to Mexico for a nice holiday. During this holiday i will also update my website to let everybody enjoy the nice pictures of Mexico
