Today's Olympic Drama for The Netherlands

It’s been a very bad day for The Netherlands as a nation. Today’s Olympic programm was the 10,000 metres ice speed skating. The Dutch have mastered that event as well as the 5,000 metres. The two favorits were Bob de Jong and Sven Kramer. Sven was skating in the final race and… he made a very bad mistake in changing lanes which disqualified him. The worst news is that he was on track to sharpen the Olympic record by another 6 seconds and getting the gold medal for sure. The saddest part is that the coach probably sent the skater to the wrong lane. The rule is that the student always obey the coach, so…. the coach has some issues to work out. He looked beat!

Someone on Twitter commented that this news probably has more impact than our Government going down. I think this person is right. It’s a sad day…. then again… it’s part of the sport.
