"It was the best experience of my life so far." Sanna Inthof told Xinhua. She is competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics and is the only amateur on the Dutch speed skating team. In the Netherlands, known as the "Kingdom of Speed Skating", speed skating is a highly professional ice sport, and being selected for the National Winter Olympic Team is the dream of many professional speed skaters, while Interhoff, as an amateur athlete, stood out in the Winter Olympic Qualifiers held in Heerenveen, the Netherlands, in late December 2021, and won a ticket to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
