I met JT Miller and Conor Garland of the  yesterday, it was an incredible experience 

I think you’re being too pessimistic as usual, you really need to have more belief in the Dutch athletes    Xandra is one of the top women in the 1000m, and all three relays should also provide solid medal chances. Maybe Daleman will develop as a contender in the next few years?   Roest is in the mix in the 10000m, Rijpma de Jong in the 1500/3000m, Leerdam in the 500m, as is your men’s and women’s team pursuits.

Kimberly Bos does exist though.

Imagine being the UEFA/FIFA official tasked with burning his hands on this never-ending fire     Go for a home match without fans for both Romania and Kosovo and then get on with life.

Dutch Winter Olympics is all about speedskating and shorttrack.    In shorttrack we have a problem since Suzanne Schulting (3 times Olympic Champion) broke her ankle this year. After since it looks like she concentrates on speedskating on the long track. But in that sport she is not really that good. For shorttrack we have medal chances for Xandra Velzeboer on the 500 meters and Jens van 't Wout on the men's distances, although Danjinou from Canada is in a league of his own.   In speedskating we have several medal chances, but I'm expecting not that much gold, considering Jordan Stolz (500/1000/1500) and Davide Ghiotto (5000/10000) winning the gold medals on the classic distances almost for sure. There will be some silver and bronze on the men's side however (Patrick Roest (5000), Kjeld Nuis (1500), Tim Prins (1000) and maybe Jenning de Boo (500)).   On the women's side there is Miho Takagi (1000/1500) and Ragne Wiklund (3000/5000) and the Canadian women. But also chances for Dutch gold with Jutta Leerdam (1000), Joy Beune (1500/3000), Marijke Groenewoud (mass/3000) and Merel Conijn (5000). Unless Leerdam will continue travelling with Jake Paul and focus on her boyfriend's stupid influence-career more than on her own career.    2 medals in short track, 10 medals in speedskating, but not many golden!

Yes, you're right. But the point is that the private sporting agency supersedes national law on this subject. 

It was assistent coach and former player Adam Szalai. He was brought to the locker room to rest up a bit, and then was taken away by ambulance, but without much haste: other than being somewhat groggy, it seems like he was getting better.

Looks like the person has been taken away, hopefully in relatively ok condition, and we're continuing the match.

nice (curious) description of what happened
