Nils van der Poel has ‘conviction’ to retire after admitting speed skating ‘sucks’ at Winter Olympics 2022
Nils van der Poel has revealed his “conviction” to retire in March after he secured the speed skating distance double at Beijing 2022. The Swede, 25, followed up his victory in the 5000m with a world record triumph over 10000m – just days after he accused the Dutch teams of manipulating the ice. Ad/> Van der Poel was unhappy to learn that Dutch sports scientist Sander van Ginkel was in Beijing looking to make the ice as hard as possible, branding it the “biggest scandal in our sport”.
