Kramer Versus . . .

. . . no one else.
Sven Kramer (pronounced CROM-mer) of the Netherlands just won the men's 5,000-meter speed-skating race at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.  He has won more Olympic medals than any other male speed skater (sorry, Eric Heiden) and he's won the 5,000-meter Olympic race for the third consecutive time.
And who is second.  There is no second.
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands was in attendance at the race, and he was ecstatic to see Kramer's victory.
It's good to be king.
I meant Sven Kramer. :-)
