  • Sven Kramer wins 10 km skating race and becomes 2012 European Champion

    Sven Kramer's kick-finish triggered protests from Norwegian team at the EK in Budapest
    Dutchman Sven Kramer showed impressive effort and skills during the 10,000 meter skating race in Budapest where he has just become the 2012 European Champion (scroll down for videos).

    Kramer competed directly with country fellow Jan Blokhuijsen who arrived about 7.5 seconds later and thus losing the title in Kramer’s favor.

    This is the fifth European title for Sven Kramer across his skating career. The Friesian was the strongest in the 10 km finale with a time of 13.45.05 minutes.

    Before the 10km race Kramer needed a 1.12 second advantage to defeat his North Holland opponent (Blokhuijsen) but that did not seem to be a problem as Blokhuijsen made it to the finish streak in 13.52.48 minutes thus ranking second in the general classification. The third position of the podium was booked by Norwegian Havard Bøkko.

    With his 5th European crown Kramer is now just one title away from the record held by Rintje Ritsma, who grabbed his sixth European Championship in Hamar, Norway in 2000.

    DOUBLE PROTEST from Norway side?
    It looks like official protests were filed by the Norwegian team who claim that both Dutch skaters should be disqualified: Blokhuijsen for hitting a puck and Kramer for showing off his happiness in an “arrogant” way, i.e. “kick-finish”, before crossing the finish line and furtherore having only one leg on the ice (apparently a rule would say that a skater should have both legs on the ground upon passing the end line).

    Anyway the jury disregarded Norway’s absurd protest and the final top 3 shows: Kramer, Blokhuijsen and Bøkko.
