What About Using a Free VPN to Stream Speed Skating?
Here’s a question we’re asked constantly: “Why pay for a VPN when you can get one for free?” While free VPNs are great for certain online activities, live streaming sports isn’t one of them. The number one reason is the VPN’s server speed. Typically, free VPNs don’t have the speeds that live streaming requires. You’ll end up with a lot of freezing and lagging, which defeats the purpose of watching in the first place. We’ve also faced data restrictions when streaming sports. Most free VPNs cut off their service once these data limits are met. This could mean that you lose your live stream connection, or end up paying for more upgrades. Finally, free VPNs don’t typically offer as many server locations as you’ll need. Premium VPNs will have plenty of options in all the countries you’ll need. But for free VPNs, you’re never guaranteed to have them in the country you need to. Free VPNs aren’t bad at all when you choose them correctly. But they’re just not right for streaming sports. We like free VPNs for surfing the web and protecting your privacy while on public Wi-Fi, for example.
Beijing Winter Olympics Speed Skating Schedule
Once you have your VPN and preferred streaming service, you’ll need the Winter Olympics mass start speed skating schedule for Men’s and Women’s mass semi-finals and finals. Below is the speed skating Olympics schedule.
What Is Mass Start Speed Skating?
After debuting in 2018 in PyeongChang, mass start speed skating has become one of our favorite Olympics events. It’s a little different than other individual speed skating races. It’s 16 laps, and rather than skating in pairs and letting the fastest time win, 24 skaters (max) begin the race at the same time. Pushing and pulling during the start have been known to occur. Results are decided by “sprint points,” instead of times. These sprint points are given during three intermediate sprints and a final sprint. After each intermediate sprint (after laps 4, 8, and 12) the first, second, and third skaters that cross the finish line get 5, 3, or 1 sprint point, respectively. For the final sprint, the first, second, and third skaters that cross the finish receive 60, 40, and 20 points, respectively. The skaters with the most sprint points will earn gold, silver, and bronze. Other skaters are placed based on their sprint points.
