Ski Jumping men's normal hill individual - Featuring Kobayashi Ryoyu - Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics review and highlights

The Swede's disappointment in his 14th place in the men's 5000m at PyeongChang 2018 was such that Van der Poel took two years out of the sport. That time spent ultra-running certainly seems to have served him well.
