Jeroen Janissen is also disappointed that the most important competition of the year is canceled. Nevertheless, the skater born in Haarlem has an understanding of the decision of the organization. “It is one large water ballet here. Safety is above everything else, and with these weather conditions and the expected rain you cannot guarantee,” says Janissen.
The Haarlemmer finished third at the ONK in Austria on Saturday. “I felt very good here and I am determined to take that shape to the rest of the season. I hope to qualify for the five kilometers at the NK distances,” he adds. The NK distances will be held in Heerenveen from 14 to 16 February.
