adam van k. got eighth out of nine :/

From uh. CBC Olympics website.

'"I just didn't have it," a distraught van Koeverden told CBC Sports after the race. "It's a hell of a time not to have it. It's the worst 1000 metres I have put together in years."

He paused for a moment then looked directly at the CBC television camera recording the interview. "I'm sorry," he said, addressing viewers. "I don't know what to say, I'm pretty speechless right now."

"I planned on sitting behind Tim [Brabants], just off his shoulder and using his pace and then popping him at the end. He had a very strong pickup at the 500 and I countered it, went with him a little while and then people just started blowing past me and I couldn't handle it.""

Van Koeverden clocked a timing of 3:31.793


ah well. everyone has their offdays. and theres still his speciality 500m tmr. hopefully he wins!
