Kjeld Nuis "there isn't any nature ice!"

The other day, Kjeld Nuis and Patrick Roest earned gold-silver for the Netherlands in the men’s 1,500 meters at the Olympics.  After the race, some NBC sportscaster interviewed Gold Medalist Nuis and in his bilingual accent he said talked about his youth and getting on skates.  He also lamented something like this:

"There isn't any nature ice anymore!"

This references the decline of natural winter ice in Europe and forces him to go inside to train.

I can't find the interview on NBC sports and Youtube.  Perhaps some person can upload that important quote?
