And, a kid with a talent for sports is far more likely to chose a sport we are already succesful in. Because the infrastructure is there and the media coverage is there, so he/she will have been exposed to that sport. A kid is far more likely to chose Judo, where we have (had) considerable success, with a local club almost everywhere than Wrestling, where we have no history whatsoever. -

There is still a whole month of World Cup events to ease the transition. At least with Winter sports it's easier, because the World Cup is basically the regular version of the Olympics, unlike the Summer ones where this giant void is left after they are done. -

And how do you envision there to be any skiing or snowboarding prospects if there is not a single place for them to start practicing from a young age in the first place? Like seriously, what exactly do you suggest, just start sending a bunch of Dutch kids to the Alps in hopes that they become the next winter sports prodigy? Because we are already doing the things you said with a couple of snowboarding athletes that train with other international athletes in the Alps, but the problem is that they 'wasted' the most important years of their development by simply not being surrounded by snow/mountains and being able to train whenever they want, which is a disadvantage that no amount of money can make up for. -
The Swedish bosses will be kicking themselves for their decisions to send skiers home! -
I will jump here. No country is required to have snow and/or mountains to be good at Winter sports. They will just invest in sending the prospects to train in places where there is snow. We have snow and mountains and still our few athletes have camps around 80% of their season in the Alps, because the conditions, facilities, competition etc. is better. The Netherlands which is far richer, far more sporting organized and has far more people willing to become elite athletes could set up programs with ease on snow sports. They just don't, because it's not in their culture and not because they don't have the resources/conditions.

You’re right. We finished in 6th. -
Have they Said that?😓 Happy for Tyler Tardi. Disturbing to see Jacobs, Kennedy and Hebert win. They are however joining Anette Norbergs team, Rasmus Wranå, John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes as the only curlers with 2 Olympic golds. Hasselborg's team Will hopefully join the same club today.
