Originally posted by MinnesotaNorthStar View PostI think I had heard that before Sochi the Dutch had never had a gold in speed skating...now they're sweeping podiums.
The Dutch have been one of the best speed skating nations ever, and I believe they have the most medals in the history of the sport. Before Sochi, the USA had the most gold medals though...not sure if that is still true.North Dakota

And the sweeping thing- their first multi-medal in a single event was also in Grenoble- Gold and Silver- Mens 1500, Silver and Bronze Mens 5000 and womens 1500.
They've historically been the HUGE skating powerhouse.

Which is confirmed if wiki is true- right NOW, they have 31 to the US's 29, which means they had 27 going into this Olympics.

BTW, I'm happy with the result but don't think the goal should have counted. Credit to the US players for how they handled the loss. Can't wait for the gold game!
