Marianne Timmer over veelbesproken ploegenachtervolging: 'Er zijn zelfs bedreigingen over geweest'

In this episode of Dreams of Gold, we look back with Marianne Timmer on an iconic moment in her career. On February 16, 1998, exactly 28 years ago, she won Olympic gold in the 1500 meters in Nagano. She talks about how she looks back on that moment and what the craziest gift she received after that achievement was. We also discuss the impressive performances of short track speed skater Xandra Welsenburg, the close-knit team atmosphere under national coach Niels Kerstholt, and the unique military training camp that contributed to this. We also look ahead to the team pursuit. In the men's event, there's a lot of buzz surrounding the lineup and the roles of Jorrit Bergsma and national coach Rintje Ritsma, while Marianne expects a lot of success in the women's event. #DreamsofGold #Sportnieuwsnl #MarianneTimmer #Shorttrack #TeamPursuit #WinterGames #Milan2026 #Olympics FOLLOW US: Instagram:   / sportnieuws.nl   TikTok:   / sportnieuws.nl   Facebook:   / sportnieuws.nl   Website: https://sportnieuws.nl/
