National coach Jeroen Otter: ‘Would have loved to have sewn a few balls on Sjinkie’ | Olympics

PEKING – Sjinkie Knegt didn’t really show it, but the frustrations screamed through his body. The dream scenario hangs on a wafer-thin silk thread after Suzanne Schulting’s fall in the mixed relay and penalties at first the 1000 and then the 1500 meters. Knegt has one last chance at a medal at these Winter Games, and that is in the men’s relay. “He is in the shape of his life, but I would have liked to sew a few balls on Sjinkie today,” said national coach Jeroen Otter.
