Kjeld Nuis is preparing for a potentially historic winter as he seeks a third consecutive Olympic gold medal in speed skating.
AD, a Dutch news outlet, reports on Nuis’ preparations and outlook ahead of the upcoming races.
The 36-year-old experienced skater is set to compete in Milan, where he will race the 1000 meters tomorrow and the 1500 meters next week. Nuis has remained unbeaten in Olympic competition so far and is closely monitored as a strong contender for gold once again. However, he acknowledges the challenge posed by his main rival, Jordan Stolz.
Looking ahead to the events, Nuis commented on the importance of competitors’ performance fluctuations. “We are all hoping for an offday from Jordan Stolz,” he said, recognizing that even minor variations could influence the outcome of the races. Despite this, Nuis remains focused and optimistic about his chances.
