Dutch Dominate the Ice

I am certainly not the only one with Olympic fever around here.  In fact, the Dutch are mad for Olympics...specifically speed skating.  This WSJ article was interesting - yeah for bikes!  The photo below, from the article, is of Sven Kramer.

 He is a household name in these parts...even in this house.  Sven is a big deal.

Here is a shot of the Gazelle bikes in Olympic Village, provided by and for the Dutch team, to make them feel at home.  Love.  Photo from here.  

For such a tiny country...the Netherlands is certainly putting up some impressive Olympic results.  I think they already have 7 medals, including a sweep in the mens 5k.  Photo below from cnn. 

That Russian dude, Putin, even popped in to the Heineken house for a beer with the dutch King and Queen.

Perhaps Orange is the new gold?
