“I think my base again this year as I would like,” Kramer said Monday in Utrecht at the presentation of his team Lotto-jumbo.
“Last year I was physically just not good enough, but I think now I definitely am better. I see that in my test results, but beyond that I think also the daily sentiment very important. And from both well, I trust. “

Breathing
The seven-time world champion allround began last year by two operations on his airway with a conditional trailing in his first season at the service of Lotto-Jumbo.
“Have That backlog we can draw right for a part, but a part either, “said Orie. “At the beginning of the season he was with a time of 1:46 Dutch champion in the 1500 meters, but then saw that it was ‘too thin’.”
Choices
Those “very narrow base” ensured inter alia, that Kramer last season the 1500 and 10,000 meters at the World Championships distances skipped and even attended three of the six World Cup weekends.
The triple Olympic champion Monday could only promise that he will be present at least for the first two World Cups in Calgary (13-15 november ) and Salt Lake City (20-22 November).
“Of course I prefer to drive all the matches, but that is not always possible. Last year I was also forced to make choices because I would otherwise not be good enough in the moments that I wanted to be good “
Orie:”. We want to wait for the first World Cup cycle to Salt Lake City Then we will see which exit we take. We have a plan A and a plan B and after the first two World Cups have a good idea which route to choose. “
That the first two World Cup weekends will be held on rapid North American ice is an extra motivation for Kramer to travel at least that. “A world record is then always in your head, but you’re also depending on the circumstances and which you have no control.”
1500 m
That bests are most likely on the fifth and possibly the 10th kilometer, but Kramer This season is also planning to focus again over his nine years at the TVM formation at 1500 meters.
“I entered a course last year and I want to give the time. I think it’s not good to fall back on the old hurry. If you’re the plunge, then you should give the course a chance, so will the focus slightly less than lie in my years at TVM at the 10th kilometer. “
According Orie that 455 tests per year performing at ten skaters, the figures show that Kramer physiologically good in 1500 and 10,000 meters should be able to drive.
“If I Sven the figures compare with last year, he has to got together to both be anaerobic (sprint capacity, ed.) as his aerobic capacity (endurance, ed.) to get up. Normally, you see that things are going either side, especially at this level. But he is not for nothing a great topper “
