The kind of crazy Olympic curse that the Canadian women are under in short track continues (no gold medal at the Olympics since 1998).

Two different  short track skaters have as many individual golds as ,  and  have golds combined T.T

And I might be the case at the end of the Games. They have 4 more shots, though the women's relay is the most likely. 

I don't really see them winning 3 or more golds in speed skating. From most to least likely : wMS > wTP >> w1500 >>> mMS >>>> m1500 >> mTP

Niels Kerstholt succeeded the very succesfull Jeroen Otter as National Coach after the Beijing Olympics.Otter became national coach in 2010, and slowly returned Dutch short track skating to the top, winning three Olympic titles.

 

At the beginning Kerstholt was heavily criticised by veteran Sjinkie Knegt, our first Olympic medaillist in 2014, and more veiled by Suzanne Schulting, our first Olympic champion in 2018. I probably was not the only one who expected the dismissal of Kerstholt. But at the 2023 World championships in Seoul his team won 5 World titles and his position was secure. Now Knegt has retired and Schulting has resettled to long track skating.
