BREAKING NEWS – Pyeongchang, South Korea – NBC’s Katie Couric was slammed across social media for saying Dutch successes in Olympic speed skating were because skating is an “important mode of transport” in their country. “It’s probably not a news flash to tell you the Dutch are really, really good at speed skating… ‘Why are they so good?’ you may be asking yourself,” Couric mused during Friday’s opening ceremony. “Because skating is an important mode of transportation in a city like Amsterdam.” She later walked it back stating, “I think the main reason why the Dutch are so good at skating is because their ankles are strengthened throughout most of the year, due to the fact that they all wear wooden shoes.”
