A Swedish flag dances on the other side of the ice rink, another blue-yellow cloth moves on the other side. The rhythm higher than the strokes of the soured man who moves a few meters lower over ice, engaged in perhaps his favorite skating discipline: all-round. In one of his favorite stadiums, the Vikingskipet in Hamar, where he was more successful. But now, as Sweden cheers, all-round isn’t so much fun for a while. It is an agony for Patrick Roest.
