Previously we established that Erfurt is the most prolific track in terms of total records of all types, and still is if we analyze SB and MI SB, but Inzell comes first when PR SB are measured. Interesting to find out that three Polish tracks (as much as GER, more than RUS!) registered a total of 281 records in the past seven seasons\u2026 but to my knowledge, we never saw a Polish skater in Master Games. What\u2019s up with them?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2228 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/news\/Stats\/Records_by_venue.png?resize=898%2C777&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Records by venue\" width=\"898\" height=\"777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/news\/Stats\/Records_by_venue.png?w=898&amp;ssl=1 898w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/news\/Stats\/Records_by_venue.png?resize=300%2C260&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/news\/Stats\/Records_by_venue.png?resize=768%2C665&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not without envy, I can report that the most venue-rich countries are Canada with 4 (no masters races in Vancouver?), Norway with 5 and the Netherlands with 6, although we all know that Dutch masters can bike from their home to the closest track in a matter of minutes. Can I hate them?<\/p>\n<p>As for countries\u2019 general performance, hail the Dutch kings, yet again. No surprises at the top of the ranking, of course. But its bottom provides a few fun facts: exotic countries such as MEX, ISR and COL appear there, due to a single guy who raced a couple of times, or a couple of seasons at most. Lone skaters representing a country aren\u2019t that uncommon on our ranks. <strong>Octavian Moga<\/strong> (ROU) would be the best of such skaters by far, with 46 personal bests, but as of late, there is a lady (<strong>Cristina Andrei<\/strong>) racing for his nation. Hence, the winner of the one-skater countries records is a certain Spanish beloved fellow.
