There's a major delay in the speed skating because of the condition of the ice. It's really, really bad. Looks like the surface of the moon, covered in craters and ridges. Apparently there might be something wrong with the Zamboni.
They might start again in 30 minutes but then the first set of 9 skaters will have an advantage because they'll have more time to rest.
It's a new kind of Zamboni--one which is electric and not natural gas or propane powered. Apparently, it's a bad idea. They're also using a new device to limit particulate in the air, which may also have something to do with it.
Experimental stuff at the Olympics = Bad.
