 | | Postma mined Olympic gold with a superb performance in the men's 1,000 meters and pulled off a huge upset over fellow Dutch countryman and reigning world sprint champion Jan Bos. |
 | | Postma, who took silver in the 1,500 meters Thursday, posted an Olympic record of 1 minute, 10.64 seconds to nip Bos by a mere 0.07 second. |
 | | Postma then had a nail-biting wait for the last 10 skaters, four of whom had broken the world record this season, to finish their race. |
