Thomas Krol's dream came true at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2022. The speed skater won Olympic gold at the 1,000m and a silver medal at the 1,500m. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old sprinter is not thinking about retiring yet. Through long trips to e.g. Australia, he manages to recharge again for the new season.


This interview is in Dutch.

After his gold and silver medals at the Beijing Olympics (Feb. 2022), Thomas Krol was a guest at the Dutch public broadcaster's evening program Op 1. Watch the interview below.
