Van 't Wout is ashamed after 'terribly stupid' action that cost Boer unique victory

In Montreal, Boer was on track for his first World Tour victory when Van 't Wout attempted to overtake him but crashed, taking Boer down with him. Van 't Wout later won the 1,500 meters but felt ashamed and did not celebrate, acknowledging he robbed Boer of a medal. He described his maneuver as amateurish and expressed understanding for Boer’s anger. Boer, upset with Van 't Wout, stated that it would take time to forgive him, emphasizing the need to move on despite the incident.
