BEIJING – He lost the titanic battle to his rival Kjeld Nuis, but won silver. This caused mixed feelings for Thomas Krol, who could not hide a certain disappointment after the king’s number. Still, the 29-year-old powerhouse certainly didn’t seem dejected when it comes to the continuation of his Olympic tournament. He knows that next Friday he will have his biggest chance at gold in the 1000 meters. If only because Nuis would not participate.
