The unanimous opinion is that Leerdam will be nominated for the 1000 metres, apparantly even among the coaches. As I understand it, this means she will take Kok’s 1000 metres spot in the matrix (place 5), Kok will take the Schulting place (7, but of course she’s allready in through the 500 metres) and Schulting will be relegated to Verkerk’s spot, number 15 and last. This will only be a problem if there are 9 skaters before her, which seems unlikely. Currently there are 7 names in the matrix. If the last two races will go to form, at most 2 names will be added (possibly Rijpma-De Jong in the 1500 metres, and less likely In t Hof or Kerkhoff in the 5000.) Only if the last two both qualify, we will get to 10 names, and then Schulting is out. There is a chance that it will remain at 7 names. That would need for Kok to qualify for the 1500 metres, which seems unlikely where it not for the fact that she owns the track record for that distance. In that case expect Rijpma to be added for the team pursuit and Kerkhoff for the mass start. -

On Jutta Leerdam, what happens if Naomi Verkerk (third place finisher in 1000m) ends up within the top 9 of the matrix, something like this: Kok Groenewoud Beune Schulting Conijn Rijpma-de Jong Leerdam Boersma Verkerk In that case, would the only way Leerdam can race the Olympic 1000m be if the selectors make a discretionary call to do so? I do see the word "calamiteit" in the selection procedures -- https://knsb.nl/media/documents/KNSB_selectiedocument_2025-2026_OS_Milaan_def_29sept25.pdf -- but I, just an English speaker, can't make out through google translate whether the "calamiteit" mentioned in the PDF would cover this situation. What have they been saying about this on NOS? -

She could be a dark horse. But she has to be 100% good in 2 runs- she's always taking a huge risk and often exaggerates the risk. However, I wouldn't give her any less of a chance than, like Shiffrin in the giant slalom. -

The comments I refered to are an appraisal of his performance yesterday, factoring in the high air pressure that’s not conclusive to fast times. You dismissed that appraisal of a number of experts. -

Even 2 years ago, I was hoping Ghiotto would be a second van der Poel from 2022, that he would simply go to OG and win 2 gold medals in the 5 and 10 km in Cortina and end his career with a great champion in glory. But this is Italy, and we don't know how to create great champions with truly strong mentalities. However, we are masters at creating alibis: injuries, a bad day, strong rivals, etc. -

He might be a dark horse, but if Ghiotto, a 10k dominant force on his track for the last three seasons, is to be afraid of someone like that, then he has very little chance against Jilek. That's all. And that's unfortunately possible, because Italy lacks truly great champions who goes as favorites at the Olympics and won a gold medal: Zoegeller, Tomba, maybe Goggia in 2018 in the women's downhill. Not to much.
