Skater Jan Blokhuijsen, this season is no longer in action. The reigning European allround champion has decided that after his failed NK round, where he after the sixteenth time in the 1500 meters retired for the final 10,000 meters. He came to his decision after a meeting with management and coach Jan van Veen Team Corendon.



Coach Van Veen: ,, I had a good conversation with Jan. In addition, we have been open and honest with each other. We have found that it is not currently running. The conclusion of the discussion is that it is better that John just takes away from the team and skating. ”

Blokhuijsen regrets his earlier words. ,, I had high expectations for the past NK Allround. Which I unfortunately can not keep. In all my emotion I have not for the camera selected the correct wording. It was never my intention to join the team and to penalize the sponsors, “said the 25-year-old North Hollander, who came over eighteen months ago TVM.

,, are for me this season no more big games that I can focus me so I’m happy with the solution found. I’m going to use the next time to prepare myself for the next season and thus the route towards the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang. ”
