Speed skating has always been a pretty dirty sport though

Are there any Saffas at the Winter Olympics ? We usually have one or two.

Bugger all - yet Jamaica can field a bobsled team.

And they don't even have snow .

What am I missing?

His hand grabs one of the heavy markers on the side and slides it into the skates of someone just in front of him.

There's always been dirty tactics. This was one of the men's races. At first I thought it was the Chinese guy at fault for throwing the other guy but from a different angle this time it was the Hungarian:

Hungarian was DQd

Took me a long while. I have never watched this event before so had no idea what was happening. I thought that thing (puck it seems) was supposed to be passed on like a ice hockey but then this comment made it clear to me. LOL.

Was the Chinese person in other clip DQ'ed as well ? Not following it anywhere really but curious to know if they are applying same standards.

No. Judges didn't see it apparently. The Canadian in third place in the clip was DQd instead. They accused her of causing the fall.

I didn't even see the puck thingy. I thought maybe he used an arm or a leg to stumble the other guy from overtaking his team mate

Those are just markers to show where they're supposed to skate lol. It's like Semenya picking up an orange cone and throwing it at the other runners.
