Sjinkie Knegt need to be re-entered even later. The former world champion wanted to be in the coming weekend’s action at the national championships short track in the city of Leeuwarden, but the head coach Jeroen Otter that doesn’t sit right.
“You have to give him a little of himself in the protection to take it,” said the Otter on Thursday at Leeuwarder Courant. “The national championships will not take, but it’s only a matter of time before he is back to his very first race car.”
Knegt was in January of last year with serious burns in the event of an accident in the home, with a wood-burning stove. It was seven weeks in the hospital, and it was in June, for the first time on the ice.
Last year, it had Knegt of the national championship also to let go after an incident involving a fork-lift truck, of which he is a beenblessure on again.
Knegt, it is the most successful Dutch shorttracker ever. He won the bronze in the 1,000 metres at the Winter olympic games in Sochi in 2014 and the silver medal in the 1,500 meters in Pyeongchang in 2018 and beyond. In addition, he has four gold world CHAMPIONSHIP medals to his name.
