Have the Netherlands won any medal in a discipline besides ice skating?

Well, shorttrack is at least a different sport, so yes, we have won a medal in an other sport in Sochi

Curling is played on ice but it's not exactly skating or sliding. The one where you push stones around and no-one understands the scoring system

We do pretty well for a country with no decent facilities and little funding. Imagine if we had money spent for the winter games like we do for the summer. |

@SSJ2
The Netherlands only win in one event. GB is known for sucking at the winter olympics. But you suck so much it makes us look good

You are making no sense at all.
A country with 20 medals from just 2 sports (both on ice) is incredible and never seen before.
With a delegation of 41 athletes we're competing with countries that have over 200 athletes here.
If anything. We make the rest of the world look bad. |

do you see any mountains or snow here?
How are we supposed to be good at anything else?
A young kid has to go live in Switzerland or something to ever be good on ski's or other sports then skating.
It's like expecting Togo to be good at Ski jumping |

Why does this even have to be discussed?
@all: Remember that this event is called winter Olympics, not snow or mountains Olympics. And I am pretty sure that there is winter in Holland too.
There is nothing wrong with dutch people competing at the sport they like. |

There is no winter here this season, and it would only take me three hours to get into the Alpes, so I wouldn't bet on that.
On more recent events, did we seriously already throw 3 fucking medals away today??
Women's team sprint: died on the finish straight. Dumb.
Men's team sprint: fell on the second-to-last straight. DumbDumb.
Men's giant slalom: fucking straddles the fucking last fucking gate. DumbDumbDumbDumbBEYONDBELIEF.

The men's team sprint was odd. Finland takes out Germany, who takes out Russia. I think Russia might have won if Finland hadn't been so 'lucky'. |
