Possibly Irish father, Dutch mother. Certainly based in Holland

Thanks. Well I guess I'll need to keep an eye out for her

Nine time European champion (and triple WCH medalist) Jorien ter Mors has finally made the decision to focus fully on long track speed skating. Although short track is her biggest love, she knows in long track she has much more potential (she already won a gold medal there in Sochi - apart from the team pursuit gold). "It's like ending a 12-year long relationship, where you still love someone, but the right feeling just isn't there anymore" were here words

Does nobody care about short track and Hungary's shot at medals next year here?

I cheered for that in both 2010 and 2014. And it didn't happen...

 

But I guess 2018 might finally be the year. (not like I thought that before Sochi too )

I only know Sjinkie Knegt really does not like those Hungarian Liu brothers and wants to beat them more than anyone else  

 

It was fun to see Viktor Knoch luck his way through especially Saturday and it was a nice championships overall. Three moves will really stick with me, one of Knegt that pretty much decided the relay final right after NED dropped to 4th with a terrible hand-over, one of Seo Yi-ra in I believe the 1000m final and one of Elise Christie of which I don't have a gif  

 

Knegt:

Seo:

Both of those were just...absolutely beautiful
