Hold onto your skates, sports fans! 🏆 The Dutch speed skating team just blazed their way into history at the ISU World Short Track Championships in Beijing, breaking the mixed 2,000m team relay world record with a jaw-dropping time of 2:35.339 seconds! ⏱️💨
The quartet of Xandra Velzeboer, Michelle Velzeboer, Jens van't Wout, and Teun Boer crushed Canada’s previous record of 2:35.427 set at the same Capital Indoor Stadium just three months ago. Talk about a glow-up! 💥
While the Netherlands celebrated, host team China faced heartbreak as skater Sun Long’s mid-race stumble cost them a spot in the semifinals. The three-day competition continues with more edge-of-your-seat action. Who’s ready for round two? 🔥
