PEKING – Kjeld Nuis sat in the stands of the National Speed ​​Skating Oval with a heavy heart, to see up close which skater would succeed him as Olympic champion in the 1000 meters. “When it was over, I really had to run away. It became too much for me,” admits Nuis, who was only allowed to take action in Beijing in the 1500 meters and then extended his title.
