Roest also had himself tested for corona before and during the tournament, but those results were negative. However, the winner of Olympic silver in the 5 and 10 kilometers did not feel completely fit and had himself tested again when he returned home in the Netherlands. “Given the fact that I feel this way and that several skaters from our team and beyond tested positive last week, this comes as no surprise to me,” said Roest. ,,It may also explain why I experienced the tournament as so difficult.” Beau Snellink and Marcel Bosker, teammates of Roest, tested positive earlier.
The World Cup final in Thialf is on Saturday and Sunday. Roest about his chance of participating: ,,We will see that later this week. In any case, I hope to be fit again soon.”
