Didn't know that, never considered him a medal contender, but of course i also thought that Kramer would medal ...

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.

he was talking about Bloemen...Ghiotto does train in Italy (with Tumulero, Giovannini and the rest of our team...Marrit Leenstra included :lol:)...

 

Well yeah, but considering Anesi is her husband, that makes perfect sense :p

What is everyone's pick for the 5000 women?

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.

'Anema-Gate' (Bergsma's coach, the 'matchfixing scandal that broke yesterday') has now already lead to parliamentary questions. I kid you not.

"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.

What a time for Van der Weijden to kick things off
