From Quiz Sochi 2014: A Record-Breaking Games
Answer:
Men's 5000 Meters
Right off the bat on February 8, Sven Kramer, Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma won the Men's 5000 Meters race. Kramer set an Olympic record of 6:10.76. On February 10, Michel Mulder, Jan Smeekens and Ronald Mulder swept the Men's 500 Meters. On February 16, Jorien Ter Mors, Ireen Wust and Lotte Van Beek swept in the Ladies' 1500 Meters. The next day, Bergsma, Kramer and Bob DeJong swept the Men's 10k. Bergsma shattered the Olympic record by 14 seconds, coming within 3 seconds of Kramer's world record. Just to put the icing on the cake, both the Men and Women won the Team Pursuit, and both teams set Olympic records. Yeah, they're that good.
