WR for the Netherlands in the men's Team Pursuit...:coffee:

 

another Gold incoming for them (but don't underestimate Canada, especially since they're skating after the Dutch)...

Oh, completely missed that was a WR :lol: So did the commentators, nobody really cares it seems :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Random linguistic question: are the words “rider” and “skater” the same in Dutch?

 

Pretty much.

 

Rider --> rijder

Skater --> schaatser

 

Generally one uses 'schaatser' though. 'Rijder' is used bit more in marathons.

This is Sven Kramer's 75th title by the way.

37-year old Douwe de Vries is the oldest world champion (male) since Clas Thunberg, who was 130 days older in 1931 :p

and it was a 7-year old record, not one that gets broken every season...

 

by the way, Kramer was also in the team that previously held the record...

Rider is also used for Ice Cross athletes :yes
