1987 World Final - Day 2

[Neil Grantham]

I've noticed that day 2 of the 1987 World Final took the usual format for the first 16 heats (21-36) but the last 4 seem different

 

Can anyone tell me who was in which helmet colour please, in heats 37 to 40

 

Cheers

Neil

What was different about the last four heats?

What was different about the last four heats?

The normal 20 heat format would have had it:

37 (17) 1-8-15-10 or Riss-Doncaster-Shirra-Nielsen

38 (18) 9-2-7-16 or Kasper-Ermolenko-Jonsson-Cook

39 (19) 3-12-13-6 or Matousek-Gundersen-Morton-Jankowski

40 (20) 5-14-11-4 or Nilsen-Kroeze-Cross-Pedersen

 

So, although the same riders compete against each other for their 5th rides, they aer jumbled. 38/39 in same order but different helmet order (apart from 39!), and 37/40 transposed and again different helmet order (apart from 40!).

Neil, just checked my programme and the heat format for the second day is completely different for all the heats (21-40). Riders kept the same numbers for both days - for instance, Hans Nielsen was No. 2 and Erik Gundersen was No. 13.

 

All the best

I had a vague recollectoin that they kept the same numbers.

I found a 40 heat format of which the second 20 go like this:

21 3-6-8-10

22 4-12-16-15

23 2-1-14-13

24 5-7-11-9

25 9-3-4-14

26 7-2-6-16

27 1-5-12-8

28 10-15-13-11

29 16-11-3-1

30 13-4-5-6

31 8-14-15-7

32 12-10-9-2

33 3-13-7-12

34 6-9-1-15

35 11-8-2-4

36 14-16-10-5

37 4-7-1-10

38 12-14-6-11

39 8-13-9-16

40 15-5-2-3

 

Is this what was used?

Neil, that's the one.

 

It's also the format that has been used in Ice Racing for many years.

 

All the best
