  • De Commercialisering Van Het Langebaanschaatsen
    De commercialisering van het langebaanschaatsen Liedewei Ratgers Department of leisure studies Master Thesis Tilburg, 13 augustus 2007 Titelpagina De commercialisering van het langebaanschaatsen Liedewei Ratgers 556487 Dr. Ir. H.J.J. van der Poel (Afstudeerbegeleider en eerste lezer) Dr. A. Klidas (Tweede lezer) Universiteit van Tilburg Department of Leisure Studies Master Thesis Tilburg, 13 augustus 2007 De commercialisering van het langebaanschaatsen 1 Voorwoord Voorwoord Het langebaanschaatsen heb ik altijd erg leuk gevonden om te volgen op televisie, maar nooit was ik in Thialf geweest om een toernooi bij te wonen. Nadat ik langebaanschaatsen als onderwerp voor mijn scriptie gekozen had vond ik dat het tijd was om aan field’research’ te doen bij het WK Allround in Heerenveen. Zondag 11 februari, dé finaledag, stond ik in een uitverkocht Thialf in vak Zuid H. Een geweldige sfeer, overal oranje, de grootste schaatsers van de wereld én kans op twee Nederlandse kampioenen. Het was een leuke en gezellige dag. Bij de laatste ritten van Ireen Wüst en Sven Kramer bonkte mijn hart in mijn keel. Het was spannend, maar ook duidelijk. Voor het eerst sinds 1972 had Nederland weer een gouden duo bij een WK Allround: Wüst en Kramer van de TVM Schaatsploeg. Voor mijn onderzoek naar de commercialisering van het langebaanschaatsen heb ik half Nederland doorgereisd, maar ben ik wonderwel niet in Friesland geweest voor een interview. In Hoogland heb ik een aantal keer de KNSB bezocht voor gegevens en cijfers over het langebaanschaatsen. Ik ben te gast geweest op een kasteeltje, ik heb een grote schaatser en schaatscoach mogen ontmoeten en succesvolle en behulpzame mensen hebben mij te woord willen staan.

    ISU WORLD SINGLE DISTANCES SPEED SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR LADIES AND MEN 2021; FEBRUARY 11, 12, 13 and 14, 2021; ICESTADIUM THIALF - HEERENVEEN De WK Afstanden zou oorspronkelijk van 25 – 28 februari 2021 op de nieuwe Olympische baan van Beijing worden gehouden. Het 21ste kampioenschap is in China geannuleerd en wordt nu gehouden in Thialf Heerenveen. Het eerste kampioenschap werd in 1996 te Hamar gehouden. Voor de vierde keer is de WK Afstanden in Heerenveen. De vorige edities waren in 1999, 2012 en 2015. Het kampioenschap zal heel anders zijn dan de voorgaande 20 kampioenschappen. Door de Covid-19 pandemie is er geen publiek aanwezig. Voorts hebben de Aziatische landen er voor gekozen om niet deel te nemen. Een kort overzicht per afstand/onderdeel 3000 meter vrouwen, donderdag 11 februari 2021, start 14.50 uur, 20 rijdsters Voor Nederland komen aan de start Antoinette de Jong, Irene Schouten en Joy Beune. Titelverdedigster is Martina Sábliková. Zij doet nu voor de 12e keer mee aan de 3000 meter. Op deze afstand is ze in het bezit van 6 wereldtitels en 4 zilveren medailles.
