Did you notice twofold Olympic shorttrack champion Xandra Velzeboer skates with a face protector on her helmet? Her father designed it after an accident in which another shorttracker was hit by the blade of a skate in a fall. He still wears the scar of that accident. Who that skater is? Well, the other twofold Olympic champion at these Games: Jens van 't Wout. The lesson here? The Dutch shorttrack top operates as a close-knit team. In other words: team work makes the dream work.
