Nils van der Poel beat the skating world with astonishment last season when he took double World Cup gold, 5,000 and 10,000 meters, and also set a world record of 10,000 meters. With the double World Cup gold and the world record, the 25-year-old from Trollhättan sailed up as one of Sweden’s biggest gold jumps ahead of the Olympics in Beijing this winter.
But van der Poel is not even ready for the Olympics yet. The sport of skating has strict qualifying rules. Not even double World Cup gold is a guarantee of getting a ticket. At the same time, van der Poel is struggling with a long-term injury problem, which he revealed on Tuesday in connection with a press conference in Inzell, Germany, where he is in training camp.
