GANGNEUNG, South Korea, Feb 23 : Dutch speed skater Kjeld Nuis held his nerve to claim gold in the men’s Olympic 1,000 metres by the slimmest of margins ahead of Norwegian Havard Lorentzen at the Gangneung Oval on Friday.
Racing in the final pair, Nuis finished 0.04 seconds ahead of Lorentzen to win his second gold medal of the Games.
South Korea’s Kim Tae-yun took bronze.
The 28-year-old Nuis, who also won gold in the 1,500m, took a quick glance at the big screen inside the Oval as he crossed the finish line before raising his arms in celebration.
