Calgary has the best ice in the world, it's too bad the own the podium program banned the americans and japanese from training there. Shani Davis wasn't allowed to train with Denny in Calgary. I think Canadians could win a lot if hockey wasn't so heavily focused on. Speedskating isn't a national sport as it is like the dutch and south korea.
@sjampinho Wotherspoon is getting worst, he wont be skating in any world cups this year. The fact that he carries the WR doesnt make him the best sprinter in the last 15 years. Just recently Shani Davis had a 1:06 and I call that the greatest sprinter time. Jeremy has stopped dominating the sport, but he is still highly respected. He is actually thinking of becoming a coach for finland soon. I do like this guy alot, I actually met this guy and he is very humble. He deserves all that respect.
@zakumownzu what about lee who won 4 out of the last 5 championchips at the age of 32!
Davis maybe is the best skater because he can sprint and allround at the same time but his middledistances are superb
@1978utreg Yeah, I guess that's true, I was trying to state that Jeremy stopped dominating. So far, I am most impressed with christine nesbitt, she won the thousand meter in heerenveen by 1 and a half seconds xD now thats a lead
@zakumownzu How can you say he isn't the best sprinter of ALL TIME!? He has the most World Cup wins of ANYONE and set, broke and reset world records; 500m, 1000m & sprint points. Like every dominant athlete, they eventually taper off but the fact that Jeremy was the best for so long surely makes him one of the best, if not the best sprinter of all time. And he's going to Germany to coach at the speed skating school there. So sit down mutton!

@gilmorejunio All Time?
Eric Heider….. nuff said
@zakumownzu heiden*
@rickcain2320 haha, sure, ok, then lets go with oskar matheson, he held the best all round point record for 15 years
Die eerste bocht, wauw.
Haha Jeremy is like my third cousin (y)
Fenomenaal deze race. Perfectie!
@MianoPan come again? xD
perfecte race wat een techniek
Zo jammer dat hij het seizoen daarna omver werd gekegeld. Hij was zo goed deze jaren…
@indivum ze kunnen nu wel sprinten en hoe, een clean sweep op de olympische spelen! (een van de vele clean sweeps)
By far the most technical skater of all time. Phenomenal!
I ve sea this race thousand times.
I still can t believe how good Wotherspoon is.
The best technical skater ever.
En toen was er Pavel Kulizhnikov
Wotherspoon is for me the best skater ever.
Not the fastest, I know, but his technik is so good.
Wotherspoon looks like Spiderman om skates. Best performance, without seemingly any effort.
