Hunt for Yvonne van Gennip and Marianne Timmer in full swing after winning 5 kilometers
BEIJING – Will Irene Schouten join the best Dutch skaters ever during these Winter Games? That question arises now that she has passed the first two strength tests in Beijing with flying colors. With the weight of the whole world on her shoulders, she won the 3000 and 5000 meters as the top favorite. Her chances of winning on the last two parts therefore only seem to increase.
