2014 Winter Olympics Sochi:Kemkers as the father of success

The founding fathers are on the sidelines, and the father figure of success is called Gerard Kemkers. Four years ago, the coach nor the Depp was the nation when he had the wrong path to the already big time favorite in the 10,000 meters, Sven Kramer and secure gold lost it. Kramer and he have their cooperation after briefly interrupted, now they are again a duo. Kemkers also trained Ireen Wüst. Both have here already won gold, it was the Olympic title six and seven for Kemkers.

The coach is a quiet guy, he hates the spotlight. Quite unlike his charges that are full of self-confidence. You have to watch in the hall, the casual elegance with which they make themselves warm. There are winners.

Kramer said after his 5000-meter triumph: “No other than I could win this race.” And Ireen Wüst has touched their goals for Sochi before: “I want to win gold on the 1000 meters, 1500 meters and the team.” One must assume that it is true carry out their threat.

Nothing goes in the Oranje’s almost everything. As Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday the Heineken House, where the Dutch celebrate their triumphs in the evening visited, ran to him as First Ireen Wuest on the road. A woman who is openly bisexual lives for years. Putin went up to her and patted the Dutch. Wüst smiled superior, and the Dutch press was another story.

Kemkers said: “.., We are not done yet here we catch here only to” That does not sound good for the rest of the world.
