I’m not sure I fully understand the new speed skating event slated for the Turin Olympics. Called “Team Pursuit”, it involves three skaters working as a team. The time that counts for the team is the time for the third person on the team crossing the line. The lead position is traded among the different skaters. It seems interesting, and I am looking forward to watching it. If nothing else, it should be a wild card when it comes to who wins since no one has really competed in this event before.
