Hello, fans! 🙌 Today we have some bittersweet news.

🚴 Collarbone Fracture from Cycling Accident

Dutch speed skating's top sprinter Jenning de Boo fell while cycling and fractured his collarbone ^[1]. He has already had surgery, and he will not be able to compete in the ISU World Cup for the time being ^[1]. It's an unexpected setback right at the start of the new season 😥

De Boo shared the news directly on Instagram. He posted a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed with his shoulder bandaged, yet still smiling ^[1]. He also openly expressed his disappointment, saying he had trained and prepared hard for this moment this summer, so it's not the season start he had hoped for ^[1].

💪 Staying Positive!

De Boo said, 'I am thinking positively, and I hope to see everyone again soon' ^[1]. He also said that he can now plan to return to the ice as soon as possible after surgery ^[1]. With such a positive attitude, fans can cheer him on with even more strength 📣

🏆 Looking Back at Recent Results

Just before the accident, De Boo competed in the 500m and 1000m at the Dutch World Cup team selection race, showing strong form ^[1]. In particular, he won the 1000m in 1:07.76 ^[1]. It's especially disappointing to get injured at such a good moment 😭

At just 20 years old in 2024, De Boo won the ISU World Single Distance Championships men's 500m, announcing a new star in Dutch speed skating ^[1]. In 2025, he retained his world champion title in the 500m and added a 1000m gold medal ^[1]. At the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics last February, he took two silver medals, finishing behind Jordan Stolz (USA) in both the men's 500m and 1000m ^[1]. With that Olympic disappointment in mind, fans are eager to see his comeback 🔥

🇰🇷 A Speed Skating Fan's Message

Watching top sprinters go head to head is a scene no speed skating fan wants to miss. This news is a reminder of how important body care is for athletes, just as much as training. The start of the season may not have gone as planned, but we believe De Boo will return to the ice with his signature positive energy 💪

We hope he returns healthy soon. Shall we leave a word of support? 🙏
