Wow, that sux. I feel bad for the guy. Too lose an Olympic gold through no fault of his own could really get a person down.

Time for a new coach, and a new job for that coach.

Don't worry - he already won a gold medal in another event.  And the DQ allowed his teammate to get Bronze, so not a total loss.

I am sure there is a lynch mob waiting for him by in Netherlands.

Wow that sucks, I'm sure that coach won't be working with him anymore.  The guy should have stuck with what he thought was right and stayed in the right lane, I mean he couldn't remember that he was just skating in that lane the previous lap?

That quote at the end of the article is funny, ""You cannot make fun of Chad anymore," Parra said. "There is a whole new bar".
