She's also become more known among non-sports fans this year, due to a documentary about her family and mostly her mother. She had a brain bleed a few years ago and nowadays can only speak a few words and that's about it. I haven't seen it yet, but apparently it's rather...impressive? Intense? Not sure what the right word is. I remember a few years ago Schouten finally had a big breakthrough win (probably in a mass start) in Heerenveen, which she immediately dedicated to her mom who had just survived the bleed and was sitting in a wheelchair behind a window in the stadium, sort of staring down and not entirely 'there'. That was pretty heartbreaking. So, yeah. Go Schouten.

Noorderling29 108 Posted October 31, 2021 #33 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yes, Teletekst is still hugely popular in The Netherlands. Especially page 818 with the Eredivisie scores is followed massively. Ted and heywoodu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis 600 Posted October 31, 2021 #35 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Kjeld Nuis just finished 4th at the Dutch National Championships on the 1.000m in 1.07,88. With that time you would've won the world title last season on the same track. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,547 Posted October 31, 2021 #36 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Schouten with the 8th fastest 5k in history And it could probably have gone faster if she'd started a little stronger, judging by the acceleration she still had in the end.

SalamAkhi 277 Posted October 31, 2021 #37 Share Posted October 31, 2021 No less than 6 Frenchmen in Inzell this week-end WC qualification time in the 1 500m for 21 y.o Mathieu Belloir and several NJR ... do you think anyone will hear about it ? Of course no, the Ice Sports Federation doesn't give a damn, and L'Equipe, a thousand days from Paris 2024 is too busy wanking over Kylian M'Bappé speaking about his participation to the f***ing olympic football tournament But as we now use to say here "alors peut-être" ... intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,243 Posted November 5, 2021 #38 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Fun fact Karolina Erbanova bronze medalist in PC 2018 speed skating 500m scored today her first goal for Czech female ice hockey National Team in the 4:0 win over Denmark during the Olympic qualifier test match.

The documentary is about family business on a tulip farm, where the spindle (mother) is lost due to a brain bleed. You can see how Schouten is part of the tulip business in addition to her skating career. It was an impressive documentary, so I could recommend it @heywoodu. Schouten is quite popular in the Netherlands and for a good reason. Our tulip girl :-). phelps and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,547 Posted December 5, 2021 #40 Share Posted December 5, 2021 She's not even 15 years old yet, the times Angel Daleman is skating this season are...utterly bizarre. https://speedskatingresults.com/index.php?p=17&s=49350 Ted 1 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!
