Highlight of the Dutch indoor championships were the 400m races, with notable times from: Femke Bol 50.30 (PB, NR, WL), Lieke Klaver 51.20 (PB) and on the mens side Liemarvin Bonevacia 45.48 (PB, NR). After the indoor championships 4 men and 3 women have run an individual qualifying time for the indoor world championship. I love that our 400m runners have really been improving together as a unit! In other news: Nadine Visser got injured during the 60mH (in a leading position), Zoe Sedney won in 7,98. 18 yo Nketia Seedo won the womens 60m in 7,25 Jessica Schilder won the shot put with 19,35m (NR). It's officially a NR, but unofficially she has thrown 19,72m already.

Another WL for Bol with 50.64 on the 400m, beating Kaczmarek, Swiety-Ersetic and Klaver. Edit: apparently it's only 0.01 off Bols PB and national record. Should be a good chance that she beats those at the indoor worlds!

I forgot to mention I always follow football as well! Good luck in the Danish league. My home team has got important matches coming up the next two weeks in the Conference League and a cup semifinal. I don't see us having a realistic chance of beating Ajax for the Eredivisie, so I'm hoping we can win something else this season.

Another indoor meet at Düsseldorf today: Nadine Visser won her first 60mH of the season in 7,93s. Ewa Swodoba took the 60m in 7,10s Arthur Cissé won the 60m on the men's side in 6,56s Milan Trajkovic won the 60mH in 7,61 Malaika Mihambo jumped a 6,96m WL to win women's long jump. Bo Kanda Lita Baehre took men's pole vault with a PB 5,82m.

Another Olympics is over... So what is everyone looking forward to watching next? I'm looking forward to road cycling classics (Strade Bianche 5 March!), indoor athletics world championship (18-20 March) and short track world championship (18-20 March).

Thanks for the fun polls @rafalgorka!

In hindsight I definitely enjoyed Wüst's medal the most! Though the shorttrack women's relay is a close second.

No speed skating, no shorttrack, no medals today

Had to vote for Femke Kok for the home choice

Sorry I missed this one. At least I got my first point yesterday, that's enough to start a crippling gambling addiction. Thanks Vlhova!

Guys, I have a suggestion: 10 man 500m final!

Come on Vhlova, give me my first point in this contest please!

I like Emilien Jacquelin's name, he gets my vote.

Agree completely! I felt immediately after Wüst's race that we witnessed Dutch sports history right there.

I voted Schulting, but it could be Fontana and I'm hoping for Velzeboer

For me it would be Sjinkie Knegt as well, I've got lots of respect for him as an athlete and person. Another medal for Wüst or Kramer on their final Games would also be very special. They have been the face of speed skating ever since I started watching sports. It's going to be weird without them.

Watching Nuis and Otterspeer race and then sit and watch the final two races together was some incredible television!

I find these short course races a lot harder to watch. Because relatively more of the race happens underwater probably? Some decent relay results from the team, but it looks like we still rely mostly on Kromowidjojo. One of my favorite athletes of the past decade and she can retire with an incredible legacy. Which she probably will after this tournament.

You never know, I thought 'our' Van der Poel was a strong medal chance in Tokyo and all he won was a new back injury But you're absolutely right of course! And it's interesting to hear these Games could be a record amount of gold for Sweden.

A sportsman of the year award for Verstappen feels so wrong to me, but it's inevitable now. I'd much rather see Lavreysen win it personally. I feel like Meuwly also has a chance for the coach of the year. The track relay teams have had a really good showing this year at the indoor Euros, Worls Relays and the Olympics. And both of the 400m teams are a good media presence as well. The other categories are lock-ins I agree.

Only during international volleyball and handball tournaments I wish I had the Ziggo Sports tv channels. Going to be a tense and really tough game vs for us tomorrow

I don't like auto racing at all, but today I couldn't avoid it...

So Bos just won a Skeleton world cup? Pretty unique feat!

These scores in the preliminary group are a bit ridiculous aren't they... 55 - 15 17 - 58 Watch us instantly lose the next match versus proper competition on tuesday

Heel herkenbaar! Ik ben niet zo'n wintersporter, dus ik moet ook altijd even inkomen met schaatsen. Laatste tijd vooral de shorttrack wereldbekers en voetbal gekeken. En F1 negeer ik inderdaad ook volledig. Kimmann en de 4x400m zijn voor mij ook echt de twee hoogtepunten van de Spelen. En twee andere momenten waar ik nog aan terug denk zijn de handboogschutters en Dumoulin. Prachtig spannende momenten 's ochtends met ontbijt op de bank. En 's nachts de wekker voor Femke Bol was ook erg memorabel. Zoals ik al zei begin ik het schaatsen vaak pas laat in een seizoen beter te volgen. Ik kijk nu ook wel uit naar het WK handbal.
