There was a ghost false start on the 500m at men's speed skating, that disrupted the race between the top two favorites (Japan's Tatsuya Shinhama and Canada's Laurent Dubreuil). In almost 30 years of watching speed skating events, I've never before seen such a questionable false start. Sure, it didn't lead to disqualification, but in this distance it's usually enough to put both riders just to make them fail. Beneficiary of the incident: China's winner Gao Tinyu, another one of the favorites.

The tossed marker - how was that anything but deliberate? It would be a one in a million shot for that to be an accident
