He competed for the Netherlands at the 2010 Winter Olympics in the men's 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500m.[1] [2] At the January 2014 European Short Track Speed Skating Championships, he was disqualified from the 5000m relay final after making an obscene hand gesture at first-place finisher Victor Ahn of Russia.[3] At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, he won a bronze medal in the 1000 meter race. This was the first medal for the Netherlands at the Olympics in short track.[4]
In 2015 Knegt won both the European and world titles in the overall competition.
