haha i stand with you on that. I don't have anything against Sven personally, I mean -- fuck it! -- he was the guy I saw skate live back in Sochi and that got me head over heels about speed skating in the first place! and JV has been my fav commercial team for years, ever since its
brandloyalty era (
@EenBrabander can confirm). I just dont find Sven's character appealing and that's a very subjective opinion. Without a doubt, it has solidified him as the living legend of speed skating and contributed to dozens of titles written to his name. I've got a lot to learn from him as a skater. But to say he holds a special place in my heart? No, not really. I have long moved on from that chapter of my skating obsession

And that's all there is to it
