After an opening round of 35.1, his remaining 24 laps were all in the 32.0-32.9 range. A masterclass in even pace skating!

If this was today in 2022 Koss have Get under or about 12:30 Whit Folding Skates ;)

Ard Schenk speaks Norwegian very well in this video, and Bart Veldkamp speaks Norwegian when he receives the medal. The Dutch are very linguistically gifted, it seems.

No, Norwegian is simply very similar to Dutch. I am Dutch I was always able to just read Danish, Swedish and Norwegian without a single lesson. First it takes some effort, because same words are written a bit different and a few are completely off. But within minutes I'd say they become clear. Spoken it is more difficult. Still this year without any Norwegian lesson and without ever having been to Norway I met Norwegian from Stavanger. I suggested he spoke Norwegian and I would try to reply in Norwegian and it went just fine. We had zero miscommunications. A Danish woman asked us where we cam from. It was not Germany since she said she could not understand German but she understood us. And she as correct. I know two Norwegian who when on holidays here simply talk Norwegian to Dutch. I was never there but they told me it went fine mostly. And finally a funny anecdote from Norwegian students who were mocking people on a bus in The Netherlands. Some people grew more and more angry with what they were saying and one went to them and said: "be carefull of what you are saying because we DO understand you!". They went completely silent and felt embarrassed for the rest of the trip....

[@jaysimoes3705]

Btw....Ard Schenk...believe it or not...talked better Norwegian than Tommy Gustafson did!

[@jaysimoes3705]

BTW 2 I understand most of the commentary here too. During the race for exempel the reporter is already sure that Koss is going to win gold and he is also already talking about Kjell getting silver. Karlstad reminds him that there are some other skaters that might be a problem there. Etc. It is all pretty simple. And a very good OL for Ritsma with silver...the commentator forgets Ritsma was by far the best in that season until these games, whereas Koss was a wreck just three weeks prior. So Ritsma content with silver...no.

Fantastisk kjekt å gjenoppleve 25 år etter eg var der (y)

Tidenes 10000, ferdig snakka!

[@pumagutten]

He, he, man kan lese på leppene til Bart Veldkamp at han takker på norsk på seierspallen. Han sier tusen takk.

@@knutg3379 Jada, og jeg snakket med hans daværende norske kjæreste på vei hjem fra VM i Budapest i 2001. Han hadde en ny vår den sesongen. Sølv i EM og bronse i VM.

[@GullibleTarget]

​@@pumaguttenI thought he was with Anni Friesinger back then?

[@jaysimoes3705]

@@GullibleTarget No she is with Ids Postma as far as I know for a long time.

[@jaysimoes3705]

LIke I said above Norwegian is very simple for us Dutch. At least from our perspective the language is very similar to ours and easy to master at least its basics. May be the specialities will for a time escape us.

[@GullibleTarget]

@jaysimoes3705 she wasn't always with Ids. After Veldkamp broke up with Annemarie Thomas, he was with Anni Friesinger for a while. You sound like you are pretty sure of yourself.

2:04:56 Ove Eriksen snakker om at Paulsen fra IOC har grunn til å smile, mens Paulsen selv står og flirer av at han blir buet på av publikum, fordi han representerer IOC? Like etter får italieneren ved siden av ham applaus, Paulsen flirer en gang til. Artig :)
