Qualifying is also compulsory next year.

This is planned again.

The track preperation is something that they organizer will improve for sure. It was their first time running an ice event, and it won't be the last. I think the overall organisation was quite good, and it wasn't easy with all these COVID regulations and everything. No crowd was allowed so the whole event was funded by TV rights and sponsors. Everybody in the paddock had to be COVID tested as well. They had the paddock on the back straight, but when a crowd will be allowed they will move it to outside in a tent or something. The stadium has retractable stands, so they can have spectators on the back straight too. Speaking about riders: Svensson was awesome. 62 years of age but still very good. Too bad this was his last international event. Zorn his time is over. He can still do the starts, but then he looks scared. Ledstrom was on the pace as well on completely borrowed equipment. Bike from Haarahiltunen, kevlars from Bauer, helmet from Svensson.
