the fact I don't know what this sport consists of but I do know what curling is, speaks volumes.
(although I know Theo Bos' brother races in it)

It's just constant time trialling actually. You do race against someone else, but it's only the time that is most important.
https://www.youtub...5MWIDwxjEw
then you know what speed skating is  That's were Sven Kramer set the 5000m record. He also holds the 10.000m record. Current world champion and European champion allround skating, and 5000 and 10.000m world champion.
Finally he is also 1st on the Adelskalendern, which combines the personal records of a rider on the 500, 1500, 5000 and 10.000m into an all-time classification
He's a sucky sprinter though, that's why it was suprising he won all 4 distances, even the 500m, this weekend. That didn't happen since 1966.... |

You are confusing the Kramer's...it's not that Kramer. Do you ever heard about a movie called "Kramer vs. Kramer"?

Im not sure if its Speed Skating or something similar but I like watching the one where they all race each other to see ifr theres any crashes.
I remember one time where everyone crashed in the final corner apart from a guy at the back who came through and won.

The olympic final a few years ago if im not that wrong actually. An aussie was so slow he was never involved in the crash, and then he won it.

Actually Apollo Anton Ono competed in short track speed skating. When i mentioned americans and speed skating i meant the kind Ruben was taking about. Where it is a clocked event, not a race.
