Suzanne Schulting conquers bronze at 1500 meters and takes fourth place in Beijing | Olympics

sport">South Korean Choi Min Jeong won the gold. Arianna Fontana, who previously won the 500 meters in China, took the silver.

sport">Earlier these Games, Schulting won gold in the 1000 meters and she also drove to gold with the women’s relay team. She won a silver medal in the 500 meters in Beijing. Four years earlier, the Frisian won her first Olympic title in Pyeongchang, also in the 1000 meters.

Emotional Guilt

sport">Schulting was very emotional after. “I was so strong”, she said in tears at the US† “But I got a beating on the way. The fact that I still take bronze says enough about how good I was.”

sport">Everything else went right, on her final day. “I was super calm, confident,” she continued. „In the semi-final I had a fantastic action, it was really enjoyable. In the final I wanted to pop around the outside, I would have succeeded if I had not been hindered.”

Velzeboer pretty fifth

sport">Xandra Velzeboer rode well to fifth place. “I have already drained myself quite a bit in the semi-finals and I am very satisfied with this fifth place,” she responded at the US† “Suus went for the title, of course, but I think she just did a very good job with this medal.”

sport">“Everyone went for themselves and after the Chinese drove away and Suzanne had to go get her, it became a completely different race,” said the 20-year-old short track star. “I am very happy. It gives a lot of confidence. I am really looking forward to the coming years to see what else is in store for me.”
