Amsterdam put on its skates en masse last week for a 3-day skating party. Ponds and lakes around the city were crowded with enthusiastic Amsterdammers on skates. The timelines of the various socials were filled with the most beautiful photos and videos of happy skaters on natural ice. The prize for the most beautiful video went to film director Jaap Mar Diemel and six-time Dutch figure skating champion Niki Wories. The two paid a cinematic ode to the sleeping capital with their skating video.
"I was really very cold in my skating outfit, but I'm so glad I participated. It was a unique event and very special to be alone on the ice so early. The result is also beautiful," Niki Wories told Hart van Nederland.
