    Van der Bunt just stated in his interview that he had higher expectations from the 10.000 metres. Also, since he has no international starts under his belt, he will start early in the program in Cortina. This could be an advantage.

    He hopes through racing to get back to form, and will start at the 1500, without any hope of qualifying

    Van de Bunt and Huizinga qualified, Bosker in 13th place in the matrix

    Van der Bunt 6.09, 5 seconds faster than Bergsma. Faster than the winning time at the World Cup qualifier, one of the 10 fastest times in Heerenveen, faster than Kramer ever did

    5000 metres men. Mopping break, Roest in 6th place, with the fastest 8 riders still to come after the break. Again: disappointing times so far, partly explained by unfavorable weather conditions.

    Yes. Even though we have Some strong riders in the shorter distances, it would not be a total surprise if the Dutch men won no medals at all.

    8 years ago Dai Dai Ntab was the favorite to qualify, but was disqualified after false starting. 4 years ago he finished third, but was dropped for Kramer who was needed in the Team Pursuit. This week he is unable to start because of illness. He was not favored to qualify, but given his age (31) It seems unlikely he will get another chance

    Given the body language of Schulting and her coach after her run, they clearly did not expect her time to be enough. EDIT: she just confirms this in her interview.
  12. Noorderling29
    Given how bad she was just two weeks ago in Hamar, another Example of: if you’ve got a lane, you’ve got a chance. overall, disappointing level, even Kok was much slower than at the World Cup qualifier/Dutch championship.

    Kok and Schulting qualified. Leerdam interviewed, hoping for an ‘aanwijsplek’; the rules allow the selection committee to intervene in case of calamities.

    1000 metres: Leerdam falls

    Article on Ellis Ligtlee on the NOS site today. Her chemo therapy was succesfull. But further treatment next year, with radiation therapy and reconstruction operation. So, not out of the woods just yet.

    Eenzame Kerst - André Hazes (not my cup of tea)

    Also a first: never before has a Dutch pair participated in the games, according to media rapports.

    The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
  20. Noorderling29
    Not just Erin Jackson, but several others like for instance Joep Wennemars. Think of it what you may, it’s all down to the way the rules are written up. The rationale is probably to prevent that a rider that falls is automatically relegated to the B group.

    Stolz participated in the mass start in Heerenveen, but fell. I don’t know whether he started in the earlier two world cups, but have a vague memory of him participating in the past (but may well suffer from valse recall).
  24. Noorderling29
    With the exception of 🇧🇷 instead 🇸🇪, rather predictable.
  25. Noorderling29
    Agreed. But OTOH, the chances of a Male Team pursuit medal also seem rather slim at the moment, so why the hassle of dropping someone.
