Name of coach | Niels Kerstholt [national], NED |
www.facebook.com/itzhak.delaat |
Hobbies | Drawing, painting, music. (Instagram profile, 03 Nov 2020) |
Reason for choosing this sport | He was inspired by other skaters who were showing their skills and doing tricks on ice. "It looked fun to me." |
Most influential person in career | His father. (Athlete, 08 Nov 2017) |
When and where did you begin this sport? | He began skating at age eight at Trias Shorttrack in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. |
Other information | EXPERIENCED SKATER He made his World Cup debut for the Netherlands in 2011, and hopes to continue competing until at least the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan-Cortina. "I've been going for a while, I skated my first World Cup when I was 16. That was already 10 years ago [speaking in 2021]. Sometimes I don't realise how long I've been around. When [Dutch short track skaters] Daan Breeuwsma and Sjinkie Knegt are gone, I will suddenly be the oldest. I still have growth potential. That's why I don't feel like I'm getting older. [After the 2026 Olympic Winter Games] I will be 31 and will have had three Games. That would be a good time to stop." (lc.nl, 19 Oct 2023; schaatsen.nl, 13 Jan 2023; skatenl.nl, 07 Mar 2021) HELMET DESIGNER He designs the images on his helmets, often finding inspiration in heavy metal music. "I have been drawing and being creative since I was little. [In 2015] we learned that we could wear our own helmets during competitions, so I started designing and spraying my helmet. Since the [2018 Olympic Winter] Games I have also been doing it for others. Skating is the main goal, airbrushing is fun to do and if I can earn something with it, fine. I'm far from done with short track. For now [speaking in 2022] it is nothing more than a fun hobby. I have some contacts, but I first need to gain some more experience and build up a portfolio."

(Instagram profile, 26 Oct 2022; omropfryslan.nl, 26 Oct 2022) He injured his left arm and ribs after colliding with an opponent in the quarterfinals of the 1500m at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing. He was taken to hospital for checks but was able to continue competing at the Games. (Instagram profile, 09 Feb 2022; schaatsen.nl, 09 Feb 2022) |
