Training for a new skating season
Summer training Femke Kok et al. skaters
Today we are looking at a skater who was very successful in the pre-Olympic season. She was not involved at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. That's why this summer is important to her.
As a top athlete, how do you prepare for a new season? Our skating stoppers often use the summer months to go out and look for the sun. Training has to be done and you do that by bike, for example.
Take Femke Kok. You can say that in Beijing (with a sixth place on her favorite 500 meters), she fell through the ice. And that valley — that deep well — must be a one-off. She wants to be there again next season. Will that come out later? That's only possible if you put it in now, I think.
On social media, we saw her (and the other skating stoppers) come by regularly.

The @140woorden season starts with exhausted as a key word.
