Wait, you're telling me this is actually not a mistake and my "two for the price of one" joke is actually reality?

There is another quite important matter. You have ladies, you have some single riders in men's competition, when will you set a double and take part in relays?

Not in WC, but I believe that Jongkind and Schram still compete. There are both less than 30 yo so it's not time for retiring. Or maybe I was a little to hasty?

No, sadly none of the men’s is active ..

I didn't think the Dutch stole both of them.

 

Oh well, they are never going to be selected for the Olympics anyway, so joke's on them. I'm quite sure they don't know that yet... I mean, surely they didn't willingly switch to a team where their Olympic careers are over?

I'm pretty sure Jongkind retired, never heard of Schram
