Not that complicated: 2 days Sprint, 2 days Allround but usually not in the same place in the same weekend. Sprint is 2x500 and 2x1000. Allround is 500, 1500, 3k, 5k for women and 500, 1500, 5k and 10k for men. Skaters earn points per distance. Most points win. (And yes, medals per distance too)

To celebrate International Womenβs Day, BusinessEurope wants a two year delay of the Pay Transparency Directiveβ¦
Because businesses are not ready even though theyβve known about the EUPTD for 3 years.
And they added some ideas for further restrictions too.
Howβs that for supporting women? #iwd
Everything I took away from ADPβs ReThink conference in Prague: a lot of payroll and of course AI.
Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero. βIt was a very intuitive story,β said Joseph Briggs, who jointly leads global economics investment research at Goldman Sachs. βThat maybe prevented or limited the need to actually dig deeper into what was happening.β Briggs and his Goldman Sachs colleagues recently said that investment spending on AI made βbasically zeroβ difference in U.S. economic growth last year. Itβs clear that the huge spending on AI is adding to the U.S. economy, but the available economic data doesnβt neatly capture its effects. The debating economists and the slippery data suggest that if the technology does start to reshape the economy, it may be challenging to detect and clearly measure.
It became conventional wisdom that the massive AI build-out was propping up the U.S. economy last year.
Nothing is that simple.
Some prominent economists are saying AI investment had "basically zero" impact to economic growth in 2025.

77% of employers offering Earned Wage Access say employee financial wellness is the primary driver.
EWA is no longer positioned as βearly access to pay.β Instead, itβs becoming a strategic wellness lever.

And letβs start with a reality check...
You have about 6 months until the EU Pay Transparency Directive becomes enforceable. And while that might feel far away, itβs uncomfortably close!

Just imagine if a woman would have said that on stageβ¦
Completely agree. At a certain point youβre out of room to grow and if you want to further develop, the only option is going somewhere else.
