I think all 3 medallists will be gone in 2022, so he might win gold then, of course unless this event gets scratched. Bergsma is 32, Bloemen is 31. That's not *that* old for distance skaters, Both of them can stay around for another quad if they feel like it. That being said, neither of them have anything left to prove, so who knows. I don't follow Bergsma too closely, but Bloemen seems to be having the time of his live right now so I actually wouldn't be surprised to see him go for another Olympics.

Esmee Visser, unless Sablikova is in normal shape again. And probably the inevitable grandma - who won a medal four years before Visser was born - on the podium again.

heywoodu 13,500 Posted February 16, 2018 Author #558 Share Posted February 16, 2018 'Anema-Gate' (Bergsma's coach, the 'matchfixing scandal that broke yesterday') has now already lead to parliamentary questions.

heywoodu 13,500 Posted February 16, 2018 Author #559 Share Posted February 16, 2018 "Esmee Visser is kind of a bitcoin." Alright, thank you, Visser's coach. So she's either going for a world record or last place.
