What does it mean, in speed skating (Olympics) "Winner by overtaking the other team"?
84771
In pursuit, two teams start on the opposite sides of the track and "pursue" each other. You can win your heat by either having a better time over the designated distance, or by catching the other team.\n\nIf you catch the other team, you are 1/2 lap ahead of them so they just end it. Sort of like a slaughter rule in softball.\n\nIf you're get bold, you can go out way too fast early in hopes of catching the other team. If you fail, you end up getting killed by your opponents when you crash and burn later in the race.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the goals scored when the player is on the ice.  If their team scores a goal, it counts as a plus and if the other team scores a goal while they are on the ice, it's a minus.  I'm pretty sure that's what it means.\nHope that helped.

The reason is so that racers are crossing the field of vision going left to right, which is standard convention for western societies (just like reading). BTW, counter-clockwise is the standard in Europe as well as for the Olympics (a European invention) and only the kooky British drive on the right side of the road while the rest of Europe is on the right like us.

If your playing 500 hockey you are winning as much as your losing.\ngood example 10-10-0-0. It's like being 50/50\n\nGO SABRES!!!!

"on a roll" here, means "gaining momentum" or picking up speed, -- \n\nor even "winning streak"

Actually, what he is describing is a shootout.  You are describing a "shut out", when a team fails to score a goal.\n\nFirst, each coach selects 3 players for their team in the order they want to go first in the shootout.  The road team shoots first, following by the road team.  In the first three shots, after one team has already scored more times than the maximum allowed for the other team to score, then they are assured a win. For example, the first two shooters for the road team score, while the first two shooters for the home team don't.  The road team wins because they have scored 2 goals while the most the home team can score is 1.  If both teams are tied after 3 rounds, they go to sudden death shootout.  The coaches on the spot select another player to shoot (every shooter, including goalie and backup goalie must shoot before any player may shoot a second time).  The road team still goes first and alternate until there is a point where each team has sent up the same number of shooters in the sudden death and the score is different.  In other words, the shootout wins when, in any one sudden death shootout round, one player scores while the other doesn't.  Despite how many goals are scored in the shootout, the stats aren't added to their season stats, but instead are kept in a shootout archive by the league (this includes shooters and goalies).  Which ever team wins a shootout gets 1 goal added to their game total.  For example, a game 3-3 after overtime is won by Team A in a shootout 3-2.  Team A would win the game 4-3, not 6-5.  The winning team gets 2 points for a win, while the losing team gets 1 point for a shootout loss.

It means that you've succeeded ZERO times out of a total of TWO tries, at something.\n\nLike if a sports team has won 1 game out of 6, then they are 1 for 6. Does that help?

Russia is one of my favorite , its obvious that they will be competing for the gold medal at least . I would put Finland on 2 nd place and Belarus on 3rd . Belarus is very strong and potential . So called "dark horse" . You never know what to expect from them , despite recent loss to Sweden . Its because Belarus ruled by dictator like in Soviet Union times . Lukashenko said " You have to get a medal "

Sorry to say I do not know that, but I dare to guess that it is different for different races. Not that I am a big fan or anything but I was watching a show the other day and the racer said you could win the championship without ever winning a race.

During the Torino Olympics Cindy Klassen (Speed Skating)from Canada won 5 medals. 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze. That's made her the biggest winner in Torino.\n\nIn 1980, in Lake PLacid, Eric Heiden from USA won 5 gold medals. That I think is the best in one olympics.\n\nBut, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (Biathlon) is the most decorated athlete. He had 6 medals before the Torino games and add three other medals. So he has now 9 winter olympic medals (5-3-1).

Anton Ohno deserved that medal - he is a fantastic speed skater.  It was nice that he crossed the finish line without any reviews from the judges.  It was a nice, clean win.  It was beautiful to see him mouthing the words to the National Anthem.

Other than the skip (captain) and vice-skip, the team members have no special name of title.  Announcers sometimes call a player who is sweeping a "sweep" but this is not official.\n\nSee the offical rules below:

A "skip pass" is a pass directly across court, "skipping" one or more offensive players in the succession around the perimeter.  It is thrown over top of the defense (it does NOT bounce, as someone before me said).

The meaning is : (he-she-it) will win over or overtake you by means of words.-\nTe superabit=will win over you.\nverbis= by means of words.\n\n The sequence is fine.-\n\nCiao........John-John.

Actually cz was far more accurate. It is up to the last two people that pass it to the one who scores. If a defender touches it then that wipes out the passes. A goal can be UNASSISSTED or can have only one person get the assist. So it isn't the LAST TWO.
