You know, the Netherlands' best chance at sweeping the podium was the men's 10000m...

Michel Mulder- Gold, Jan Smeekens -Silver, and Mulder's twin brother Ronald got the bronze.

fox finished just outside the medals.

Well it took 4 days and 3 disappoints but Korea finally has her first medal. Lee Sang-Hwa sets an Olympic record with gold in the 500 metre long track. Netherlands takes another medal, a bronze.

Netherlands has won 12 of the 18 medals awarded in speed skating. No other country has yet won more than 2 medals.

In contrast, Netherlands won only 7 out of 36 speed skating medals in Vancouver.

Wouldn't it be something to see Netherlands hit 20 medals, something usually only been done by the winter powers.

And when a country gains, others must lose. The Canadians, Americans, Koreans and Japanese seem to have lost their medals at the expense of the Dutch.

Not to forget the Germans...if lucky, Pechstein over 5000 will be our only medal.

We got cheated out of a Silver Medal yesterday. It was the Italian Speed Skaters fault that they fell! We should have a Bronze and Silver on the Medal Table!

Nope. Christie tried a pass where there was no space. She caused the crash.

Also, wrong sport.

Oops. Wrong Topic. Accident. Even the pundits said we were cheated. Italian should be disqualified, not ours. We won silver fair and square.

Clearly the Britons at fault there. Check you biases at the door please Tony

I'm not being bias. I've seen it 5 times on replay, it was the Italians fault. Like I said, let's agree to disagree, I'm not changing my view, your not changing yours.
