intoronto Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 The Dutch just swept the men's 500m an event they have never won !!
Daze Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Congrats to all dutch Olympic Champions! 3 Contests 3 Gold
gotosy Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Michel Mulder- Gold, Jan Smeekens -Silver, and Mulder's twin brother Ronald got the bronze. Defending Olympic champion Mo Tae-bum from S. Korea was fourth.
Fox334 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 You know, the Netherlands' best chance at sweeping the podium was the men's 10000m...
krow Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Michel Mulder- Gold, Jan Smeekens -Silver, and Mulder's twin brother Ronald got the bronze. fox finished just outside the medals.
Gangwon Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 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.
baron-pierreIV Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Wow, this sibling thing is getting infectious. First you had 2 of the Le Pointe sisters in moguls?? Now the Mulder twins. I hope the Shibutanis or the Reeds in Ice Dancing can also medal.
gotosy Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Another gold medal for Netherlands Sthefan Groothius men' s 1000m
gotosy Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Women's 1,000 meters Gold - Zhang Hong (China) Silver - Ireen Wust (Netherlands) Bronze - Margot Boer (Netherlands)
Gangwon Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 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.
Faster Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 The Dutch started a sprint program just before Vancouver and it is now giving results
Gangwon Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 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.

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.
Gangwon Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Ok ok the Germans too. The Dutch have conquered all of the bigger nations on ice and are now set for world domination on land.
olympian Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 The Dutch just swept the men's 500m an event they have never won !! Sven Kramer won this event in Vancouver
StefanMUC Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Sven Kramer won this event in Vancouver No, he won 5000, not 500.
olympian Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 No, he won 5000, not 500. sorry, misread it. i thought i saw 5000 not 500.
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 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!
FiveRingFever Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 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! Other than being totally wrong and posting in the wrong topic, outstanding post!
Fox334 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 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.
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 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.
ofan Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 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
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 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.
FiveRingFever Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Time for the women's 1500 and probably another USA disappointment.
intoronto Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Oval seems to be about half empty
