‘Scolding, yelling and gossip’ within team Irene Schouten

Various parties involved were shocked after seeing the most recent episode of a video series by Team Zaanlander, in which top skater Ireen Wüst and national coach Jan Coopmans, among others, are treated with little respect. “I find it disconcerting and not very uplifting,” said Coopmans a few hours before leaving for Beijing.
