Dutch skaters were so good in Sochi there'll be an investigation on why everyone else was so bad
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — In the last speedskating race of the Sochi Olympics, there was really no doubt about which team would win.
Even the Dutch were coasting for a while on their way to another gold medal.
"We didn't have to do our utmost," Jorien ter Mors, part of the winning team in women's pursuit, conceded. "We had to make sure we didn't fall."
And that's essentially what has happened in speedskating. The Dutch piled up eight golds and 23 medals overall in a dozen events on the Sochi big oval — nearly twice as many medals as every other country combined.

The results were so lopsided that International Skating Union President Ottavio Cinquanta told The Associated Press that he will push for a special investigation into why the other teams weren't competitive: "Somebody is sleeping, is not working enough."
The shutout in Sochi was especially stunning for the Americans.
