Nils van der Poel (SWE) | 10000m M | ISU World Cup Speed Skating | Stavanger |

[@peterivarsson6819]

He is a miracle in every way. What a phenomenal effort he did. Sure, I'm biased in this case, but a good athletic performance should always be praised! Greetings from Sweden!

[@ronaldkristensen3038]

GRATTIS ! Nils van der Poel, og Sverige!!!

[@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267]

but..... Dutch origine...

[@carpetclimber4027]

Such a great person, especially because he might be an even better philosopher than he is an athlete.

[@waynemartin2544]

He doesn't even look tired. Both are fantastic skaters to watch.

[@QuasarVortex]

?? 13:53 ??

[@szymon6207]

Okay do 12:32.75 previous WR

[@merrickp1420]

if you watch closely nils started out strong, then at around the 3.5k, mark started to feel the race. then at about 8 mins 10 , he started to break, amazing race !! love to watch

[@meteoroman100]

This guy is a moster! Grattis Niels!!

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

LOL I know it's a typo/autocorrect but surely he must be a "morbror" 😁 (kunde inte hjälpa det 😁)

[@meteoroman100]

@@bennylloyd-willner9667 Jag ser bara stavfelet. 🤣🤣🤣. Eller "farbror" hahahhaa. Swedish language is great!

[@allaboutperspective650]

Yeah he's amazing, however, it doesn't surprise me, he's a Viking with Dutch skating blood 😊.

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@allaboutperspective650 Although, there is more later history Dutch skating tradition than skating blood. At least when it comes to the elite. Sweden were actually a great skating nation up until 1988 when Thomas Gustafsson won both the 5000 and 10000 m in the olympics. We had lots of great speed skaters in the 40:s 50:s and 60:s that won both world championships and olympic medals at a time when the Netherlands hadn't really conquered the tracks yet. Names like "Sigge Ericsson", "Åke Seyffart", "Johnny Nilsson" and "Johnny Höglin" were all gold medal olympians in different olympic games at the times. In addition to that lots of other medalists at 5000 and 10000m. So whatever blood it is that makes you a great skater, it should be there for a Swede too! Maybe we have in common with the dutch people that we are two of the nations in the world with the tallest people? And proportionally longer legs (And arms) and shorter torsos, which is something that is great for speed skating. Just have a look at Van der Pools body. Extremely long legs, especially the femur (thighs) and a short torso. But, yeah, overall skating (the long runs on seas and canals) is more a "folks tradition" in the Netherlands. But it is quite popular in Sweden too and has seen an uptake the last couple of years.

Niels Van Der Poel är fantastisk❤

[@mariaakesson6096]

Nils fina gest mot publiken säger mycket om hans sympatiske sätt...Han applåderar mot dom...Har ett leende som säger jag älskar er....Sedan slår han handen mot hjärtat för att visa....Hjärtat bultar för er

[@antoniodavirbrito]

My favorite Winter Olympic Games sport.

[@janinge8696]

Grattis Nils, WOW!

[@TheSteinbitt]

I love that he never trains any slower than this, he goes two speeds, 30.0 and 29.0 for 5k exercise, awsome athlete!

[@Raptorman0909]

Nills cuts a really tight turn wasting very little distance, I'd bet that saves him a couple seconds of the 10K.

[@berringervids]

Mesmerizing to watch the 10km, such style!

[@kennethwoods6525]

Whoa! Nils van der Poel 🇸🇪 and Jorrit Bergsma 🇳🇱 💣💥 and 🔥

[@bpetersson5024]

It appears that the main difference with Niels is that he trains the way he feels he should. He gets a lot of rest and the focus is of the quality and the quantity is different from most national programs including the swedes. The national programs like to have control over their athletes so they can claim credit for their training. Niels doesn't follow that and trains by himself which is a political issue for the OC. But just based on his performance, he is miles ahead of everybody else and so the Beijing Olympics, if it happens wont change much.

[@Toliew1]

Nils!

[@AndyFoster405]

Very spot on according to his recently released manifesto. Did you see it?

Is there any limit for this guy???

[@nielsdekruijk]

No

[@beorlingo]

The ice is the limit. As long as he stays on the ice they can't touch him.

[@ivero2]

Most likely the best 10K ever skated.

[@Jonsson474]

Bergsma is so skinny in comparison with Nils. The Dutchman is like half the weight of the swede.

[@mimmipiggast2243]

Det ska bli så spännande att följa Nils i OS.

[@sallerterrer1285]

Uten uhell så blir det to gull på ham. Ingen som er i nærheten av kapasiteten hans. Han kunne helt sikkert gått 5 sekunder raskere i dette løpet, om han var blitt presset til det. Bergsma, Roest, Fish og Bloemen må nok kjempe om de andre medaljene.

[@stennordenmalm1735]

Mimmi, håller med om det!

[@sallerterrer1285]

@@stennordenmalm1735 Han har hatt noen tendenser til stygge feilskjær på langsidene, så får ikke håpe dette feller ham. En annen ting som kan være "skummelt", siden han er såpass treg i starten, vil være "kluss på vekslingssiden", om han møter en løper som går ut hardere enn Poel, noe de fleste faktisk gjør. Men dette problemet er de nok klar over.

[@roffep216]

That´s some advice to the best skater ever.

[@MrKveite1]

@@roffep216 He isnt the best skater ever, he isnt even close..he cant even become the best skater ever unless he starts winning 500m and 1500m....The best skater ever is Eric Heiden since he won all distances and that will never happen again....

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@MrKveite1 Although, however great, that was different times. Now they are much, much more specialised. A middle/long distance skater won't stand a chance against a 500 m specialist! The technique and the equipment (and ices) have changed so much too that it is almost a different sport that you try to compare.

[@MrKveite1]

@@Magnus_Loov yes but he still need to win a LOT more for many years before he is the best skater ever.

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@MrKveite1 Absolutely! He is not even close to the top 10 or even 15 so far. And he has talked about taking breaks after the olympics. But Heiden also had quite a short career compared to some of the Dutch and Norwegian greats. To win from 500 to 10000 is unbelievable though!

Inget internationellt förbund spenderar deg på egna kommentatorer för youtube klipp.

Härligt att se två toppidrottare göra ett bra lopp, underhållande för de flesta sportintresserade, roligt att dela med sig, snällt att dela med sig, sprida sporten för en bredare publik utan att lägga tid man inte har på inslaget, kan vara copyrightskyddat om kommentatorljud är med.
