About

The Netherlands are under the spell of winter sports. SHOTS: - A large crowd of water birds scurry around in and near a crack in the ice; - div. shots of skaters, adults and children, experts and beginners; both on ice rinks or frozen open water in and near the cities, and on ditches and canals in the polders; - on the Zwet near Wormer, skaters hold on to portable constructions with a sail and let the wind blow them forward; - On the Loosdrecht lakes, skaters start off in the cutting cold for an achievement race over a number of laps, passing a checkpoint; - On the ice-skating rink near Zutphen, the Dutch speed skating championships are held; the final battle, between Broekman and Maarse, is won by Kees Broekman.
