National & International Sports Awards


Recommended Posts

Kjeld Nuis (speed skating) and Suzanne Schulting (shorttrack) won the sportsman and sportswoman of the year awards in the Netherlands, the coach of the year award ended up in a tie between Jac Orie (speed skating) and Raemon Sluiter (the coach of non-nominated tennis player Kiki Bertens).

I love how so called sports fans in the Netherlands are like "omg it's always a speed skater and speed skating is just Dutch folklore, boohoo!!" when in fact Nuis is the first speed skater in 8 years to get the sportsman of the year award :p

Are they the same "sports fans" who compared polo to Dutch "porkball" (or something like that)? :mumble:

I believe they did not compare an established World Games sport with an über-elite sport, no :evil:
