Sinopsis

No complaints from the New Zealand speed skating trio after narrowly missing out on a medal in the team pursuit at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.Reyon Kay, Peter Michael and Shane Dobbin lost to South Korea by just 0.7 of a second in the semifinals after leading into the final lap.They were then outclassed by the Netherlands in the bronze medal race.Dobbin says they gave everything to come within a whisker of getting into the gold medal race."They managed to keep their composure."We still skated a 3.39.5 which I think was about 0.2 slower than we accomplished in training runs. We skated to more or less what we thought we were capable of, they just beat us."Unfortunately with half a lap to go, the entire stadium erupted with cheers.
