The Winter Olympics in PyeongChang will be awesome events! I can't wait, It's going to be another memorable events happening in my native country. If I wasn't able to go there then certainly I'll be keeping a glued eyes on the TV screen! Awesome!!!
Seriously? You guys missed out on Lee Sang Hwa, 500m Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014 Gold medalist, aiming for the three consecutive Olympic champion title in Pyeongchang. She is even the current 500m long track speed skating female record holder. And what happened to the all-time American favorite, Shani Davis, or Erin Jackson who became the first black woman to qualify for long track speed skating event in the Olympic for the United States??
I was born in 1955. I remember watching my first Olympics in 1960. In grade school we dove under our desks and watched movies about how to know when a nuke went off and what to do. As a young man in the military I looked across a fence at several million Soviets and East Germans who were just waiting to run me over. Even as a small boy I recognized that the 2 weeks of the Winter Olympics was a time when I could take a deep breath and not worry about dying at any moment in a flash of light and heat. The world gathered to play in the snow. It had an innocence, a willful naivete, about it. Even if it was pretend, it was important to the world that we made that pretense. For my entire life I felt that the true spirit of the Olympics was that it is a time when people set aside their political, cultural and religious differences and, through sports, celebrated their common humanity, until this year. Vonn, Rippon, Kenworthy, and Davis chose to use the honor of being on the US Olympic Team as a platform for their political views. It is certainly their right as Americans. In exercising their right, they have dishonored the Olympic Spirit. They have dishonored the handshake between North and South Korea. They have dishonored their teammates. They have dishonored their country. They have dishonored the thousands of other athletes who have gathered there in the true Olympic Spirit. They have dishonored the 33,471 American men and women who died in Korea so they can have a free and prosperous place to play. But most importantly, they have dishonored themselves. And that may be the most lasting damage of all. As for me, they have forever stained mankind's one, last refuge.
Ireen Wüst: Eleven Olympic medals, including five golds. Unbelievable for a Dutch athlete! But you know: the Americans will blame they have the 'real stars' like Vonn (only one gold).
he is but there are new stars on the horizon Kjeld Nuis and Ted Jan Bloemen are closing fast. IOC went to far m8 many clean Russians were left out...not good for the competition ;/
I've been wondering for some time..why did russian athelete is under OAR(OLYMPIC ATHELETE FROM RUSSIA)??? why they didn't represent their own country and what's with the OAR??do you mind explaining it to me??but that is if you know about it

I just hope they will do videos of sports teams and athletes around the world playing each other.
I'm so excited!! Can't wait!
Martina Sáblíková! I wish her the best of luck.❤❤❤
Iva Florianová Me too! I'm dutch, but she is my favourite at the 5000m!
Noooo Antoinette de Jong and Ireen Wüst 🏆🎿
RutgerYT Ireen will take the gold at the 1500 and 3000m😉
We Dutch love her ....though sorry we will cheer for the Guys and girls in Orange
Some more Dutch medals are about to come :-D

All we can say to that is, 1 2 3 1 2 3
And this time the 1-2-3 doesn't relate to the Austrian waltz or ski jumping hahaha :-D Looking great, that much orange on the podium.
Dutch me thought something different when he said Mantia owned a coffeeshop ghehe
Title says Short Track but this video is about the Long track

Thanks for pointing it out. We have fixed it now. There will be a Short Track one too coming ahead of the start of PyeongChang 2018!

Im a fan of Joey mantia
Ireen Wust doesn't have seven medals, but eight. So that doesnt make her the best female Dutch winter Olympian, but best Dutch Olympain overall.
Travel Stories Around now those stats are history anyway!
Tibor vV Very true! They could just announce her as 'legend' now

I hope Sven will finally win the 10.000m and I hope that Ireen will win the 1500 and 3000m🙈😉
I just want a party like last time. ORANJE BOVEN
Haha jepp!
There is a mistake in this movie. Martina Sablikova doesn,t broke a worldrecord at the 10.000 meters. Women doesn,t skate the 10.000 meters.
Nice
Muito bom 💕🙌
in friesland they still have prehistoric skates do your homework
Ура ура Крамер крутой, я так рада он the best
I hope USA will win a lot of gold medals this year
Yeah, well not at speed skating because Netherlands are dominant. Other sports: Probably!
Yeaaaaa Sáblíková💞🇨🇿
Hey do you know lee sang haw ???????? 2010,2014 win 2018 우승후보!!!
어우 창피
아무리 몰라도 그렇지 이상화 선수 영어 스펠링도 모르고 답글을 쓰시면 어떡합니까? Lee Sang Hwa
BRÓDKA The winner
Свен Крамер лучшии, желаю победы на всех дистанциях, в которых он примет участие
he is but there are new stars on the horizon Kjeld Nuis and Ted Jan Bloemen are closing fast. IOC went to far m8 many clean Russians were left out...not good for the competition ;/
Can we see a 3 legged race with all the government officials wearing tracking boot So? Winner gets choice between the top or bottom bunks
Go fingland
Joey Mantia and Heather Richardson the ones to watch? They did win nothing. Ever heard of Ireen Wüst?
🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Less drugged less Russians
true but I do think the IOC went a bit far. If not proven they should be allowed to compete
I've been wondering for some time..why did russian athelete is under OAR(OLYMPIC ATHELETE FROM RUSSIA)??? why they didn't represent their own country and what's with the OAR??do you mind explaining it to me??but that is if you know about it
