After historic Olympic performance: ‘My agenda is already packed’

BEIJING – There she comes, good-natured and very happy. It seems as if the sun has shone exuberantly above the Olympic village in Beijing on this Sunday especially for her. The day before, Irene Schouten (29) sensationally won her third gold medal, in a few hours she will be allowed to carry the Dutch flag during the closing ceremony of these Winter Games and after a short night she flies home with the rich harvest. To her beloved Hoogkarspel. “Four years ago I was already happy with one bronze medal. You should have a look.”
