SOCHI —
Belanda meraup medali emas, perak dan perunggu pada nomor 500 meter speed skating pada Olimpiade Musim Dingin di Sochi, Senin, dan kini berada di peringkat kedua perolehan medali sementara di belakang Kanada.
Michel Mulder memenangkan medali emas pada pertandingan tersebut, sementara medali perak dimenangkan rekan setimnya Jan Smeekens dan perunggu disabet Ronald Mulder, saudara kembar Michel.
Kanada, Belanda dan Norwegia kini berada di peringkat tiga teratas dengan masing-masing tujuh medali, tiga emas bagi Kanada dan Belanda.
Emas bagi Kanada, Senin, disumbangkan oleh Charles Hamelin. Hamelin meraih emas di nomor 1.500 meter lintasan jarak pendek speed skating. Ini adalah medali emas Olimpiade ketiga sepanjang karir Hamelin.
Pada cabang ski Alpine, Maria Hoefl-Riesch dari Jerman juga memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade ketiga dalam karirnya. Ia berada di peringkat pertama nomor campuran, downhill dan slalom run.
Ole Einar Bjoerndalen dari Norwegia hampir mencetak rekor 13 medali emas Olimpiade Musim Dingin, namun harus puas di peringkat keempat cabang biathlon 12,5 kilometer. Martin Fourcade dari Perancis memenangkan nomor tersebut.
Namun Bjoerndalen masih memiliki kesempatan di Sochi untuk memecahkan rekor medali Olimpiade Musim Dingin terbanyak.
