Nuis makes sure Dutch stay good as gold at Olympic Oval

GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — The Olympic Oval has turned into the royal House of Orange — and not because Dutch King Willem-Alexander is there most nights. It's all about the speedskating.

Kjeld Nuis made it four gold medals in for races for the Netherlands, a run nearly beyond belief.

"This is no longer normal," Nuis said Tuesday after winning the 1,500 meters.

Moving in a blur of orange early on with a blistering pace, Nuis swept past his toughest opponents to take home gold. In second, of course, was another Dutchman — teammate Patrick Roest.
