Katie Couric Is Skating On Thin Ice With Dutch Olympics Fans

NBC Olympics commentator Katie Couric managed to tick off plenty of people in the Netherlands when she attempted to explain the country's dominance in speed skating. 
Couric called skating "an important mode of transportation" in the city of Amsterdam.
"As you all know, it has lots of canals that can freeze in the winters," Couric said during the Opening Ceremony. "So, for as long as those canals have existed, the Dutch have skated on them to get from place to place, to race each other and also to have fun."
While that might sound like a nifty explanation, it's not entirely accurate. Amsterdam has canals, which can freeze in winter. Certainly, some people enjoy skating on them at those times. But the canals don't freeze all winter and in plenty of years, they don't freeze at all..
The Dutch Review said the country's dominance in speed skating was more likely due to the sport's popularity there combined with big investments in Olympic-level training. This was quickly pointed out to Couric on Twitter:

You just can't make this up.

NBC opening ceremony coverage. Katie Couric talks about why The Netherlands is so good at speed skating as The Netherlands enters the stadium.

And this folks is why Americans are less bright about the rest of the world as they spread fake news! pic.twitter.com/7YC5deTl2w

What a bunch of BS
In summer us Dutch swim to work and grocery store via the canals. You'll hear that next summer Olympics.

Dear @katiecouric, the Dutch do NOT skate to work.
Skating on clogs is too hard, even for us. https://twitter.com/JosDuijvestein/status/962368563230269441 …

We in Australia all use the Uber Kangaroo service to get from A to B. Skippy managed to get me across town by leaping single buildings in one bound the other day.


Next up: Why Russians are so good at biathlon (mostly from chasing James Bond in the snow).


Here's me thinking you get to work by propelling yourselves from windmill to windmill. Silly me, least i've now been suitably educated by NBC

No visitor to Amsterdam can have missed the hordes of Dutchvolk speeding past, borne on modified clog-skates, and propelled by tactically placed windmills. https://twitter.com/JosDuijvestein/status/962368563230269441 …

Yes and here in Canada we take the dog sled from our igloo home to our igloo office.

Exactly! This is also why the British team does so well at cycling in the Olympics; it's a little known fact that we all travel everywhere by Penny Farthing. pic.twitter.com/pvEFhg6iC1
