Sven Kramer considers change to coaching team
RICHMOND, British Columbia (AP) Dutch speedskater Sven Kramer is considering hiring an additional coach after a disastrous error by his current one cost him a second gold medal.
Kramer said Sunday he was not planning to dump Gerard Kemkers but may add another coach to his team as he builds toward the Sochi Games in 2014.
Such an addition though would sharply change the way Kramer has been working with Kemkers the past five years as he became the world's dominant skater.
