Assuming Bergsma is pre-nominated for the mass-start (place 1 in The Matrix), there are currently 7 names in the matrix. If everything goes according to expectations, this will grow to 9. In the 1000 metres the favorites are De Boo/Wennemars/Nuijs/Prins and in the 1500 metres the last three riders. It could even be limited to 8, in the unlikely event that van de Bunt qualifies in the 1500. There is precedent there: in 2001 OKT Uytdehaage won the 5000/10.000 metres as an outsider, and also qualified for the mile, as the favorites choked. He was dismissed as a lost opportunity on the very fast Salt Lake City track, but to everyone’s surpise managed to win a silver medal. But from his interview yesterday it’s clear that van de Bunt does not expect to qualify for the games in this event, it’s his ticket to the coming All Round championships (qualification based on 1500/5000 metres times). But it could get very messy, when 1 or 2 outsiders manage to qualify. -

The Colorado Springs Athletic Center will be closed to foreigners in 2028 to protect Americans at the Olympic Games Michael Phelps disagrees with the decision The US Olympic Committee will no longer allow foreign swimmers to use the Colorado Springs Athletic Center, but only in 2028, to protect the interests of American swimmers ahead of the Olympics. CEO Kevin Ring revealed that there is a rule prohibiting foreign swimmers from entering the high-performance center starting in 2028. This is due to several reports and complaints received by USA Swimming, highlighting how US coaches are working with foreign swimmers to beat Americans on their home turf, at their own Olympics. In 2029, after the California Olympics, the doors of the athletic center are expected to reopen to foreigners, but with much higher rates than the current ones ($125/night). Michael Phelps, who had previously criticized the US Swimming Federation along with Ryan Lochte, has also intervened in the matter. During the World Championships in Singapore: "What are our real goals? I grew up training with all athletes, including foreigners. We've never discriminated against anyone in our team." Phelps was coached by Bob Bowman (who recently completed a 24-day training camp with his team, composed primarily of foreign swimmers), and therefore defends his mentor and the team's philosophy. USA Swimming also emphasized that other high-performance sports centers (such as the one in Flagstaff, Arizona) will have no difficulty hosting training camps for foreign national teams who request them. The issue of foreign swimmers in the US is becoming very sensitive in light of America's dominance, which has significantly weakened in recent years (recall when in Omaha, during the 2008 and 2012 trials, Dave Salo secretly coached Japan's Kitajima, at different times than the American swimmers on his team). Is the "America first" philosophy a new form of protectionism in swimming too? Meanwhile, foreign athletes help colleges win and make money in the NCAA system. Colorado Springs's view, therefore, seems hypocritical, opportunistic, and arrogant. from an Italian Swimming blog, related to a Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper's journalist -

Dutch track championships these days: - Tokyo BMX Olympic champion Niek Kimmann at the start of the sprint event, making a rookie mistake in the 200 metres qualifying, by misjudging the finish line: - Lorena Wiebes winning the Keirin, beating European champion Steffie van der Peet. She has no plans to add this number to her international program, but it shows her immense sprinting abilities. -

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? -
