National Coach Rintje Ritsma was pleased with the NOS of the three skaters who finished second. “They started off with a good pace because if you start too slow you’re late. They had a little too much decline at the end, but they kept working together and pushing.

Ritsma said Friday’s men’s race was well analyzed. “I saw that it had to be different. We looked at the pictures a lot and it turned out that things had to be done differently. But with a little adjustment it can be a completely different result and we can definitely compete for the World Cup victory.
