Biography

Bergsma has been skating for the BAM team since the 2010–11 season. On 10 October 2009 he won his first skating match (the Marathon), the DSB Bank Cup.[http://www.bndestem.nl/sport/sportalgemeen/5646359/Kazach-Jorrit-Bergsma-wint-in-Alkmaar-eerste-schaatsmarathon.ece "Kazach Jorrit Bergsma wint in Alkmaar eerste schaatsmarathon"] BN De Stem, 12 October 2009. During the 2009–10 season, he tried to qualify for the Olympic Games for Kazakhstan. During the national championships in the Russian Chelyabinsk, Bergsma won the 5000 m in 6:28.21 and qualified for the World Cup. The ISU refused to let the Dutch Kazakh start, and Bergsma decided to end his Kazakh adventure.[http://sport.nieuws.nl/580798/marathonschaatsers_toch_geen_kazachen "Marathonschaatsers toch geen Kazachen"] Nieuws.nl, 3 January 2010. Later in the season he won the Alternatieve Elfstedentocht in Austria.{{cite web|title=Bergsma wint Alternatieve Elfstedentocht|url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/bergsma-wint-alternatieve-elfstedentocht~a977523/|work=De Volkskrant|language=nl|date=30 January 2010}}
