Is she using Weber carbs on her skis? It explains why she wins everytime...   Dude, everyone knows that Webers will not make you faster but they do look good at least |

She had a day off yesterday and the golds went to Sweden and Canada - congrats to both nations. Her fiance was interviewed this morning and they asked him what he planed for her when she got home after the championships. Nothing, I will take out the vacuum cleaner so that she quickly get down to earth again he replied. Good guy! BB

Yes Jago - I`m sure you have you`re moments too when you do not look you`re best.  And 4 out of 4 today when Norway beat Sweden and Finland in the 4 x 5 km. Just the 30km left and it will be a race between Marit, Sweden and Poland. I`m really looking forward to it! [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

Isn't "Nordic World Ski Championship" a bit like the Americans talking of the "World Series" in baseball (or rounders as we know it…)?  |

Thanks Niklas. 600 000 watched from the arena and 700 000 joined the medal ceremony down town. What a succes! Let´s see what happens to your ski-jumppers when Kojonkoski leaves the team Not a problem, Norway as a team will benefit from a coach change. He has done his job a long time ago. Best rgs BB |

You are probably right. Anyway the games were great fun and even us Finns can see some light at the end
of the tunnel. Finally!
I was hiking around Holmenkollen last summer and was happy to see the change from the "construction site" to
what the place was now. Great job. I will have to check it out this summer too, or maybe concentrate on SCC ?
Be well!
