http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,11798.0.html Nordic World ski championship started in Oslo last Thursday and Norway is in the lead.

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!

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!

Thank you Norge!
You could allmoust touch the apmosphere and feeling just by watching the tv. Let´s see what happens to your ski-jumppers when Kojonkoski leaves the team :-X Title: Re: 4 out of 4 Post by: BeetleBug on March 07, 2011, 13:08:06 pm I wasn´t there but best wintergames ever! Thank you Norge! You could allmoust touch the apmosphere and feeling just by watching the tv. 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 :-X 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 [/quote] 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! |
