"What on earth you guys doing? It's a fifteen thousand meter, elimination race. Is nobody told you?" The commentator is awesome
not really- he spent the whole race saying how stupid the 2 who went off the front early were
@@km4829 that sets up their victory as even cooler tho. It makes a good narrative
@@km4829 he wasn't saying they were stupid. He literally called it an "inspired move" about halfway through. Learn to listen, guy.
It makes sense, make a massive gap at the start to lap the group and then just stick with the group until the end. The more it goes on, the more tired people get so they won't be able to make up that gap you created at the start since a burst at the start was done on full energy.
@@KironVB that right they thinking big, only champions have that mind set.
I was supposed to only watch 20 seconds of this..... ended up watching the whole thing
I kept trying to skip ahead like 30 seconds but it stayed interesting the whole time
Same
Same 😂
Never even watched this sport and did the same thing. Good commentary too.
the commentator did a great job there ^^
That first move by the German and the Frenchman was epic af and I didn’t even know this sport existed.
Crazy! Foi loko msm, Krl!!!
It was epic, Im just surprised they kept that endurance up! Rin was really pushing himself
Ikrr
Lol facts
Same
Hahahaha "Let's just get one lap in front so I can REALLY relax for the rest of the race."
That was basically the tactic
That feeling you get when you finish class project 2 weeks before the due date
... and the end up losing the race...
I subscribe to you channel, great contents
@@saturn724 q143
Damn that little Frenchman owes that big ass German a beer for all that draft time back there.
LMFAO
NEED FOR SPEED XD
A draft beer would be most appropriate.
Not unless he's got Gas
Well played. Well played. How daft would it be for him not to offer him a _draft_ beer.
Leeber Gruber lol. What you expect... in the comments... before you watch the video ....
One of interesting findings during Covid19 lockdown.
Try Marble racing next
indeed. Bought rollerblades to try and keep cardio a thing in my life during this lockdown... and now I'm here sitting on my butt watching this 😅
same
Hahaha u right 👍🏻😂
You can say that again
I can’t believe I actually watched all 20+ min of that race
Ikr
how couldn't you!!! that was a spectacular performance.
fr though
some how the race felt short
Worth it
French dude inhales the german dudes farts for 100 laps then blows past him on the last lap using the fart energy that he collected. What a move.
🤣🤣
Bro, you got me dying over here!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's a 100 iq move right there
🤣🤣🤣🤣i need some fart energy
can they please add this sport to the summer Olympics? i would totally watch this
Alex Hoce then you could expect people to do speed skating in the winter Olympics and this in the summer!! That would be sick
Alex Hoce they had this year in speed skating, it was crazy
i watched the mass start in speed skating this year. i guess inline speed skating missed the cut for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo
same
They already have something very similar like this for mass start speed skating for winter olympics, so unless these guys can really differentiate themselves from speed skating, I don’t know if it will actually happen
Watching this as a road cyclist is fascinating. We use similar tactics, and in pro races there's always someone who attacks from the first kilometer like these guys did, though the difference is over 99% of the time they're doomed to get caught since the teams in the group behind work to bring them back at the last possible minute. I was on the edge of my seat the whole 20 minutes, rooting for the breakaway wondering when they would eventually get caught, but was delighted to see them stay away. These two guys are ahead of the game for sure.
This isn’t the same. It’s more analogous to track cycling where this does actually occasionally happen.
@@kishascape Very madison-like.
omg... im 3 minutes in and it just hit me... (watching this sport for the first time) ... if they catch up to the rest of the pack, they can slipstream a lap ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind blown
It happens a lot in bicycle racing (one of the races actually counts laps ahead as the win condition), but this is the first time I've seen it in roller sports.
the secret is out the bag
That and they all have their faces at perfect ass busting height. Could u imagine getting stuck behind someone shittin their pants the whole race.. Brutal.
@@krazywhiteboykwb7793 ಠ_ಠ
@@krazywhiteboykwb7793 load up on beans for both a speed boost and a smoke screen 🤣😂
Coach : Hang in there till the last few rounds left and then go for the medal.
Those 2 Guys : I am gonna ruin career of every coach.
I almost changed the video. The german taking the lead like that had me stuck in my chair watching the entire race. I could feel their exhaustion. Good work gentlemen.
its a genius tactic, if you get the sprint on at the start and lap them, even if you use alot of energy its good. because ot means that for someone else to beat you they are going to have to have a go at it and get that lap back halfway or at the end of the race, its much easier to get the sprint on at the start and just hang in for the rest than sprint at the end and hang on at the start
i would not recommend it to an average Joe so do not try it at home kids
@BEN
its not its very risky
it is very easy for the pack to prevent you catching up to them with a bit of rotation.
Youre out on your own working hard for every gain while they could be taking turns on the front conserving most of their energy while still gaining on them. its pretty crazy that the pack just let them get away when it would have been so easy to shut the attack down. Even as it was the German was cooked for the rest of the race, only just hanging on to the pack.
@@becausewinwhat do you mean he was cooked? He came in second place by 3/4 of a lap
@@alikassam5403 cooked as in burnt out / fatigued, not cooked as in lost.
in the last two laps when the french guy finally attacked from sitting on his wheel for most of the race the german could hardly respond, he had nothing left.
they spent so much energy early on you could see every time there was a surge in the pack the german got gaped, even one point getting completely dropped but the pack then eased up after the elimination and let them join again when if the pack had worked together for a bit longer they would have easily caught the german in which case the german would have had no chance from then on having already spent so much energy while everyone else would still have at least one match to burn. basically im saying he massively gambled on the pack not working together consistently and it payed off.
The German gave me a Lesson in real life. Why not go for the advantage if you can.
The frenchman gave one too. In this life you can be a follower or a leader.. or a follower who topples the leader when the time is ripe.
and some people will say that's white privilege lol
@@FirdausIsmail1 imbecile
hey it’s a joke
They both got s luck...
I've never owned a pair of skates and yet I approve of this RUclips recommendation. Watched it from start to finish and I was rooting for the 2 brave guys the whole time.
+1
The gold medal goes to France, all the respect goes to Rijhnen!
I' d have to disagree. Even though Rijhnen put in most of the effort you have to respect France for profiting and preserving the energy until the very end
Yea preserving the energy by using Germany as an wind shield
I mean the only way to beat that strategy is to have a slightly better strategy... Which is doing the same but being covered from the wind.
The noble thing to do would have been to let rijhnen finish first. The best thing to do would have been to share some of the work between the two with good communication. Rijhnen did ALL of the work and still came second. Bad sportsmanship from France.
Siddharth Das no that is not noble that is dumb. Distance racing is about strategy if you break away and allow someone to draft they will try to over take u near the finish. Rijhnen thought he would blow past the pack and win in a landslide which was a good strategy but de Souza’s was better.
As a city skater I am honestly in awe at the stamina these guys have! Big respect for the top two!
3 miss of skating like this and I need a 15 min break 😅
In case anyone doesn't know, generally in these races, when a skater laps the pack, every skater except the top 3 positions are eliminated. It is VERY rare that you see someone lap the pack at this level.
They should remove the rule, seeing the tactics from lapping the field and the balance between drafting, but tired, against fresh but lapped field is awsome. Its not that easy for the field to cooperate to catch them either, as everyone wants to save their legs for the eliminations and sprint for gold, so there are so many variables.
lap the pack? what?
Torb 1 “pack” is the skaters that are lined up behind each other, it’s called a “pack” because they’re all packed up behind one another. Lapping the pack means skaters go off and literally “lap the pack”
That's why the German and Frenchman stayed behind all of them. Not to make it a crazy finish. That's brilliant.
Well, technically they were never lapped as to lap the pack they would have to overtake the first person in the pack and always stayed at the back of the pack. Not a lap advantage, but a ~0.9 laps advantage, if that makes sense. The rule would not apply, but dang, it would have shaken things up.
Such a tactical performance by the Frenchman, he certainly understood his win condition and raced very intelligently.
He was cunning…not intelligent. The German was the strongest.
@@deanpapadopoulos3314 the Frenchman was 100% both intelligent and cunning. The German was intelligent. And they were both strong! Holy hell, they are in the World Championships. Saying one of them isnt strong is like saying the lowest elo GM in chess is weak.
I was checking this out to see what the sport was like, thought it was a little boring at first to be honest. However once that German guy went on and the french guy. You just had to watch the whole thing, see if they make it or if they win!
Props to RIJNHEN (GER) for starting the trend and DE SOUZA following up on it, De Souza was smaller and played it smart so he rested better, though again Rijinhen kept up the whole performance and wasn't slip streaming behind someone and meeting the full wind resistance with a slightly bigger body size.
The Narrator was great here, keeping the game entertaining and like us very fixated on De Souza and Rijnhen if they could win. Though they played it risky, they took a chance and made the sport interesting for us.
I wonder if most other World games are this interesting with risk or rather just played tactically with little interest. Regardless, I didn't know this sport was really 15KMs until I saw how much laps they were doing.
For the guys who also went out by or before the elimination, this is a fucking tough sport.
I know i’m a bit late, just wanted to see if i could tug at your interest, having done this for a good couple of years.
The longer races like this and the point races can become a bit boring to watch, but elimination races(where the last placed runner is eliminated after every lap), team relay races and sprint singles(the shortest races) can be extremely animated and exciting
i watched this sport first time, was searching fastest roller bladder and got this ...... but worth it this was epic 😍😍 my eyes filled for the guy who did all the hard work but got 2nd , still its endurance and smart gaming
That's quite an essay
@@Sportamax le man 24 is the longest relay race :D
What it more tough? 15km On ice or this track?
the way they sway from side to side is actually quite soothing
That's a lovely example of a Genius guy and a Wise Guy.
Yes
Never would I have thought I'd find 20 guys skating around in a circle this intriguing.
"i don't know what he's up to, but i don't like it"
lol that was actually pretty funny
WW2 in a nutshell.
So funny
Giggitu
And read that with the same accent as the announcer
Did i search for this? No. Did I still watch the whole video ? Yes.
This was a joy to watch. Marvelous piece of tactics und guts by Rijnhen and de Souza. They deserved their medals no matter what order they finished in.
That race was for third place!
indeed
Indeed so
Yes, and the guy in white and red should have realized that before trying to pull off around the 6th lap. He completely expended all of his energy trying to catch the two leaders, without keeping in mind that all he had to do was place. This was an elimination round after all, not a finals.
@@robertreed9818 this was an elimation race finals not an elimination round, so French dude and German dude took 1st and second overall. The red and white dude was pushing for the win and failed
You’re right. And the first two thought 1st or 2nd isn’t bad out of 30 competitors.
I've been following de Souza for 20 minutes! Been a huge fan ever since. I'm glad he finally got a win!
Speaker guy is funny, probably why I kept watching after 7 minuets
“Nice and tucked in behind the big German” lmao broooo
I have no problem watching this in the Olympics.
Everything fell perfectly tactically for de SOUZA. It was cool seeing the mutual dependency and teamwork they built over the race also
mutualism? what are you talking about that was straight up parasitism
Does anyone know who the narrator is? He is kind of really entertaining.

I dont know why the algorithm brought me here, but I'm glad it did.
Commentary was on point, made me watch all 20 mins of it, and i dont even skate
P. Michael earned 3rd and some high praise for holding the front of the slip stream as many times as he did while still achieving his placement in the end. Respect.
Wow 15km in 23mins; that's my car speed going to work.
Crazy Candy Crush okay, next time can practice use roller blade to your work, can save fuel
Burlington wash
15k m🤦🏽♂️
With traffic of course
that 40 km/h
That was so unexpectedly captivating. Knowing the German and Frenchman had a huge lead and expecting them to keep it, but wanting to watch every second because of the ebbing and waning of the action. 10/10 algorithm recommendation
why am I watching nascar rollerblading?
Ian Dunn cause it's spectacular to watch
LMAO
Lmao felt
Bubba J: Oh, I know! That's my favorite part! They're makin' a left turn! It's a sport that's easy to follow when you're hammered.
Yeah except NASCAR cars are built for the left turn, whereas...
No matter what sport, there is something very inspiring about watching someone do something passionately at a high level
Why was this so entertaining
because you watch expecting to see a great fall ? :)
I don't know man... But I got hipnotized ...
Anjayl ha skaters rarely fall but ok boomer
@@benjaminpease5297 that makes sense
Love how Rijnhen made an insane move and De Souza just jumped on and they became best friends
How unlike the french that was to hide behind a german right until the very end
I'm from uk, where was UK aye 😂. It was genius tactic by bumming German from behind ahaha frenchman pestered that German no giving up that's called strangety used that German for his advantage but at end of the day frenchman won 😂😂😂 not German so give credit where credit due not silly comments that make no sense.
@@danmcgill7954 it was a joke about the second world war i wasnt for a second commenting on their skills as a skater anyway 150 other people besides you understood that joke so maybe you should read the comment and understand the subject matter before mouthing off about it being a tactic for the race
Fun fact the the French was really smart by keeping the German in front of him until the end as the German took all the resistance and shielded him from the air blowing against them
I can't believe my self that I searched for it for the second time. And still watch the whole video it still amaze me. Wow.
LOLOL what a brilliant racing strategy AHAAHA I'm actually in awe
Wow, that was intense! Cardio levels off the charts! Great strategy from the German and Frenchman!
25min race is just to decide who is the 3rd place.. lol
this is a great sport i never even knew existed. These too are actual athletes. The conditioning you need to have to be able to do this is insane
Savage Opress especially on the back and calves
My new favourite sport
G Faz y
Tonino Di Berardino duh it’s amazing
What an absolutely entertaining commentator. I loved the descriptions that he used: too many to mention: 12:35 - "Hello, here we go; they've turned on the after burners again."
The gold medal goes to France, all the respect goes to Rijhnen!
Rijhnen is a country ? where it is ?
All the respect goes to De Souza , because he is the smarter on this race
Anjayl did you even watch the race?
@@johnenderest94 No he’s right, he took advantage of someone going off ahead and it benefitted him in the end, that is working smarter and respect does go to him for using such a smart strategy.
@@johnenderest94 wrong, he profited off someone being an idiot (but the real idiots were 3-6th place who were much stronger than the 2 but didn't react well enough)
This was so satisfying to watch. I've always wanted to see this happen on a short track race, and it worked out exactly like I wanted it to.
That was surprisingly entertaining!
Never thought I'd watch this.
Now I'm 12 videos in and I can't stop.
Help
That was awesome! Definitely something to consider for long races.
I'll keep this strategy in mind next time I'm playing Mario kart
Whose here in 2020? And they had the lead since lap 70 that’s gooddddddd
Wow. Didn't realise this sport was so tactical
I am convinced RUclips can read my thoughts, I have ZERO interest in their recommendations until I randomly click on one and now it’s 2am and I’m still watching things that “I’m uninterested” in watching.
I should be in my bed..
XX XX ok
Me too.
Its 12:53am. 😁
Same..:0
I would do the same as the German and French when running track, I always found it easier to make a lap gap when I had the energy rather then trying to take the win when tired.
Bro what a 400m lap?
youre not lapping in running unless youre out of your league
@@mrarican1271 you can pretty easily lap in the track 5000m and 10000m races especially if it's ran indoors (which are usually 200m tracks)
What if the person in front farted? Slip stream!!
That's actually a tactic - eat a bunch of something smelly . . . No, seriously, they've probably got their diets pretty tweaked and time when they eat relative to when they race so, I would assume they're not busy digesting, and know what foods agree with them the most, so that they're not distracted by farting.
I was thinking that too hahahahaha cracked me up
Nitrous?? 😂
@@NoMoreNamesAvailabl1 power up lol
That will be analogous to the "NITRO" we use in those car games 🤣🤣🤣..
Nobody:
RUclips: watch 23 minutes of rollerblading from the 2017 world finals
Me: I didn't even know this sport existed
Also me but 23 minutes later: damn that was some intense rollerblading
What a race!!!!
Mo Houta you took the words right out of my mouth!
Sneaky little Frenchman
Guy announcing had me hooked. Great race!
In South America and Europe 😭😭. Real lack of interest in NA, Canada doesn't even have a proper Track for this
I’ve watched this video 5 times and it honestly only gets more entertaining
That can't feel good on the back
Nah, if you sit in that position for long enough, knees right above 90 degrees and your back leaned forward (not hunching) you get pretty used to it
Seems close to a cycling position, but with more movement for the back
@@soundninja99 and no handlebar that must be hard to adapt
@@babw My point is that it's probably not too bad for the back as long as you keep it neutral like in a bike position.
As long as you don't arch or hunch your back, basically just keep it straight with your core tight, it actually doesn't hurt.
Can we take a moment to thank the German and the Frenchman for making this so interesting that I stuck around for the entire 23 min.
That was a good race I felt like F.Rijnhen - GER deserved to win that race
Jay Gill ye but de Souza was also smart on his part
No because he is stupid to take the france guy to the finish
@@stendijk8949 You could tell he was tired. The fact he hung on with the peloton alone is a feat for him. The Frenchmen probably could have at any point passed him, but decided to coast behind the German as long as everything looked safe. The German was essentially stuck in a second place position as he was too tired to drop the Frenchmen, but couldn’t risk falling off the peloton.
@@yrureadingthisname The frenchman drafted off him at the end because it was just a race between the two of them, they didnt need to move up in the pelaton. If you draft off someone for the first 95% of a race they have no chance to beat you in the final sprint
The things I will watch before I do homework amaze me. Mad respect to that German and French guy. Big balls.
those guys make a 40km/h average speed skating, thats pretty fast. Beautiful discipline by the way ;-)
This sport far more interesting than others in the Olympics
It's 3 am and I just found out this was a sport half an hour ago and I watched this whole thing. I need help dear lord
I've been binge watching time trial and tour de France for a few days and can't stop😭
I didn’t know this was a thing && I can’t believe I sat here and watched this whole video.
I'm here because of a broom
Recardoe Rodriques lol broom->bobsled crashing compilations->this
I'm here because of a fan.. Which was because of a broom.
Ahaha same
I just found out this sport existed and now im addicted to these videos
Big respect Rijnhen ! DeSouza won though.
DeSouza had been a monster all year so it didnt surprise me
Lowkey the German and Frenchman made the race
interesting and it's was reason why I watched te whole video 😅
Big credits for silver medalist
Why? He lose
@@welcometolife4237 He didnt lose
He didn’t win any medal yet. It’s an elimination race
@@izzatirfan1995 It’s an elimination race because people get eliminated during intervals in the race, the top three in the race medal because it’s the only race.
Watching this in 2020 and I remember the famous Roller Games back in the 70's and 80's between LA T-Birds and Chicago Hawks.
Souza played this masterfully. Bravo.
I have no idea why I watched this. But, I'm glad I did.
In France we say “À vaincre sans panache on triomphe sans gloire” translated as “A victory without style makes you a champion without glory”. De Sousa won insignificantly, without style. If he had stopped before the finishing line to let Rihjnen pass, De Sousa would have been remembered for his glorious second place... and he would have been true to this French motto.
You have the smartest and most decent comment of everyone. Honor is always important.
That's the best commentary I've seen on speed skating.
Thank God found a sport that catches my eyes with fairness respect devotion and no cheating
Me in the first 1 minute : Huh, interesting.
Me after 20 minutes : Only 3 minutes left? I gotta find more of these videos!
Would be cool to watch this on a road course with left and right turns :)
Never thought 23 mins of skating would be this entertaining
Swings doing ALL the work unbelievable
I've never even heard of this before and saw the video till the end!!
So cool 😀
me and the boys sneaking out of school:
0:44
Not sure why RUclips recommended this to me but I'm glad it did! Watched the full race. ADDICTED 🏁
I should be studying 😂😂
Best tactics ever. Once executed and your one lap ahead, there's no worrying any more!
2 hours left to the exam :D
As a track runner, this looks so chill and I love it!
I think the reason this is so entertaining and suspenseful is because I have no idea how many laps it would take for a skater to make up a whole lap
Super smart move from Souza in a split second to follow the german to get the slipstream along the way to get a lap ahead. Obviously, he benefited from the slipstream, got ahead and was bound to win.
Dont know how I got here. Luvd it though
