Sven Kramer loses gold medal (Vancouver 2010)

[redpinkday]

He got a gold medal in the game already :S, Well if a coach did that to me, I would be mad too, but I wouldn't be like him.

[arsenalfc206]

haha svens "are you stupid" statement came back to bite him

[Emiko415]

What a complete and utter embarassment for his parents, for his nation, and for his flag.

I have 3rd graders who are better able to maintain their composure than this manchild of entitlement.

[endeavourthelimits]

To me the hero of this story is the coach because he proved what's the true nature of the skater. The skater proved to be arrogant, when he won the first medal, and lacking any bit of modesty, while in the reaction after the long race he proved to be ungrateful as well. It was through Gerard that the skater got there in the first place and without him he wouldn't have anything.

@endeavourthelimits Amen brother! It's easy to criticize the coach, but like you said, he's the man behind the curtains making it all possible. It was a dramatic mistake, no less, and Sven's anger is understandable...

@endeavourthelimits Remember seeing this live. I am not that much into ice skating, but hove can the coach be the true hero of this episode? he gave kramer the wrong call that cost him the olympic 10k gold medal?

[muusers]

@endeavourthelimits Cleary you've never ever seen an interview with sven, or even understand what is said in the video.

@endeavourthelimits

swen reacted very professionly, ofcourse he is angry at the beginning but after all he kwows aswell that every human makes mistakes. swen is my hero:)

[absolutetuber]

he was clearly the winner of the race. He needed a little golden medal to prove it? Life goes on, get over it.

[spiedey133]

@absolutetuber

if you train olmost your whole life for this and then lose at a mistake like this its horrible and its not like go on the next second... you cant imagen what he went trough 

[lavigneeric]

I wonder if the Sven has decided not to fire his coach ?!?

[spiedey133]

@lavigneeric

he is still coach of him...

[Corncrops]

epic fail

[fdoelmand]

de beste schaatser van de wereld !!! (ongeveer) doet dat o_O

[HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAAHA­HAHAHAHA

[VicenzoV]

Ongelooflijk dat hij de shuld wil delen met Gerard Kemkers. Het is overduidelijk wiens schuld dit was. De wissel toont in ieder geval wel dat hij zijn coach voor de volle 100% vertrouwt, misschien nog wel meer dan zichzelf.

[pijee1]

ik bleef extra lang op om sven kramer zien schaatsen en zien winnen en sturde die klootzak de verkeerde baan in

[TheTruthfulAsshole]

Kramer should have been given Gold anyway. Let's be realistic and understand his lead was sufficient to make up for the mistake.

They should have penalized him 2 seconds.

[Bartje116]

nou nou nou, zo'n drama is het ook weer niet, een keer verliezen door een fout van de coach

[b0bsy28]

@Bartje116 is dat nou sarcasme of wat ? :P

[sjonhigh]

Wij zaten op wintersport in Oostenrijk met een schijtverbinding op een laptop te kijken naar schokkerig beeld en zonder geluid. Hadden geen idee wat er gebeurde en waarom de wissel steeds werd herhaald. We begrepen dat er iets mis was, maar wat.... Kemkers gehurkt, Naomi facepalm, maar wat was het nou? Toen kwamen de sms-jes binnen uit NL. Echt enorm balen.... en iedereen heeft het dan steeds over Kramer en zijn verdriet, maar hoorde je iemand zeggen hoe het voor ons moest voelen.......!

[xXGhostSnipXx]

Ja toen waren 24 uur van men leven dood

[Sask321]

hahahahahahahahahahaha 12 year olds make that mistake!!!!

[saai14]

het lijkt net air crash invesgation

[YolandaBru999]

Ppfffffff...

Voor mij het meest frustrerende moment op sport gebied 2010!

[dani8889]
