That's cool. However, I guess there's no way that he'll switch to now that we won.

First he'll have to show it wasn't a fluke or something, Michel Mulder, Ronald Mulder, Kai Verbij and Jan Smeekens usually are a level higher when they're in top shape

Yay, podium for Polish mens team  Finally good start   Also women's team was close to podium, pity that Czerwonka had mistake :/

1500m victory for Miho Takagi...this 22-year old Japanese girl is the absolute sensation of this season, medalling on 1000, 1500 and 3000 

 

If she can keep this up she might be the favourite for the world allround title

Disastrous day for the Dutch in Heerenveen. 8th place was their best result in the 500m races.
