World record, world champions and real character

An orange ocean of people in a sold-out stadium. Faces of athletes showing pain, smiles and defeat. This weekend the world championships all-round speed skating took place. I watched around half of the tournament on television. Two world champions were crowned and both were honoured by the Dutch anthem. Both speed skaters are 20 years old and both reached new heights in their sports career. One coach crying, laughing and screaming together with his athletes. Emotions were high this weekend, how great is sports?
