Olympic speed skating champion Thomas Krol didn't often think about training, while travelling Australia

Thomas Krol's dream came true at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2022. The speed skater won Olympic gold at the 1,000m and a silver medal at the 1,500m. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old sprinter is not thinking about retiring yet. Through long trips to e.g. Australia, he manages to recharge again for the new season.
