Well that women's team sprint was a laughable affair again

 

Men's race was fun.

Or if the Dutch national team has a good coach. In the women's teamsprint competition The Netherlands' performance was really bad due to a mistake by our coach. 

 

The Dutch men on the other hand performed well. Congrats to Canada to win the men's teamsprint as well by 0.002

The strength of Dutch speed skating is exactly it's weakness in team events. It's ridiculous to think that teams for the pursuit or sprint often don't even train together at all until the week of (or even the day of) the event

As long as it doesn't go at the cost of another event...

[Dennis 746]
