}} Koen Verweij (born 26 August 1990) is a Dutch speedskater and inline speed skater. At the end of the skating season 2008–09 he made a transfer from the Jong Oranje team of the national skating union (KNSB) to the commercial team of TVM. Verweij is the current holder of the Dutch record on the 1500 metres distance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title = National Records – Netherlands (NED) )〕 ==Biography== On 30 December 2007 he skated his first 10 km race at the Dutch all-round championships at the Kardinge ice track in Groningen. He finished the tournament at a fifth position which resulted in qualification as first reserve rider for the European all-round championship in Kolomna.〔("Eerste vier van NK allround naar EK" ) SportWeek.nl, 30 December 2007.〕 This was a remarkable accomplishment, because he only was a junior rider at that moment, riding faster races than Sven Kramer did at the same age.〔Sportweek, January 2008.〕 Later in the same season he participated in the world junior championships in Changchun. He won the silver medal just after his teammate Jan Blokhuijsen and in front of his other teammate Berden de Vries. It was the first time since 1997 that all medals were captured by skaters from the same country. At the Dutch all-round championships 2009, Verweij finished 4th, also due to his spectacular improvement of his 10 km personal record, and qualified for the European all-round championships. However this tournament started with a big deception, because he fell on the 500 m. However, he managed to finish the tournament at the 12th position. His season was crowned with a victory on the World Junior Skating championships where he won the 3000 m, the 5000 m, the all-round title, and the team pursuit. Because of these outstanding results he won the Egbert van't Oever Aanmoediging award for the best young Dutch skater. At the 2014 Olympics Games Verweij finished 2nd in the 1500m event, after finishing only 0,003 seconds behind Zbigniew Bródka. On July 14th 215 he announced leaving Team Corendon after only one season. 〔("Schaatser Verweij vertrekt bij Corendon" ) NOS, 14 July 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Koen Verweij」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
