FILE - In this Dec.1, 2013 file photo Sven Kramer of the Netherlands skates during the men's 10000-meter Division A event at the World Cup speed skating stage in Astana, Kazakhstan. After his coach Gerard Kemkers sent Kramer into the wrong lane on a changeover during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics the chance for triple gold and the opportunity to become one of the top stars of the Olympics was gone. With the same coach still at his side, the dominating Dutchman plans to show in Sochi 2014 how you bounce back from the darkest moment of his career. 'He will only get over it, if he gets gold on the 10K in Sochi,' said Geert Kuiper, a trainer of Kramer in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. (AP Photo/Alexei Filippov)
