Ter Mors leads another Dutch skating sweep
Print Edition
Jorien ter Mors led another Dutch sweep in Olympic speedskating, beating favorite Ireen Wust in the women’s 1,500 meters yesterday and setting up a shot at becoming the first skater to win medals in both long and short track.
Competing in an early pairing, Ter Mors turned in a stunning time of 1 minute, 53.51 seconds, an Olympic record and the second-fastest ever at sea level. The only skater to go quicker was Wust at the Dutch Olympic trials in December.
Wust settled for silver this time in 1:54.09, with the bronze going to Lotte van Beek in 1:54.54.
Ter Mors just missed a short track medal on Saturday, finishing fourth in the 1,500 at the Iceberg Skating Palace next door. She has another chance in the 1,000, which begins on Tuesday. The Dutch have now won a staggering 16 speedskating medals at Adler Arena.
