Several regulars in the Dutch short-track team will skip one of the upcoming World Tour events in Asia, with coach Niels Kerstholt saying skaters who race frequently have been given the option to sit out a meeting.
Xandra Velzeboer is not in the line-up for the Seoul event, from 20 to 22 November. Selma Poutsma, Teun Boer and Melle van ’t Wout will miss the Beijing meeting, scheduled for 4 to 6 December, according to the selections announced by the Dutch skating federation.
“We have given regulars who spend a lot of time on the ice, both individually and in relays, the choice to skip one event,” Kerstholt said in a federation statement, as reported by ANP.
The short-track World Tour also stops in Shanghai the week after Seoul. Michelle Velzeboer will miss the remaining events this year after suffering a small fracture in her fibula.
