Skeetskytte udtaget til OL

Den tidligere verdensmester Jesper Hansen skal repræsentere Danmark i skeetskydning ved OL i Tokyo. Varmen bliver hans måske største modstander.


Skeetskytten Jesper Hansen er klar til sit tredje OL i træk. Den tidligere verdens- og europamester er blevet udtaget af DIF’s bestyrelse efter en indstilling fra Dansk Skytte Union, og han skal dermed i aktion på Asaka Shooting Range til juli næste år.

Det bliver utvivlsomt en varm fornøjelse for ham. Temperaturen risikerer at komme op i nærheden af 40 grader, og da luftfugtigheden også vil være høj, så har Jesper Hansen allerede nu defineret sin farligste modstander.

”Når der kommer sved på geværkolben, bliver den som sandpapir. Kolben skal glide meget præcis op over skydevesten, så måske skal jeg have noget tøj, hvor ærmerne er længere, for fugtig hud er som en sugekop på geværet. Måske skal jeg også have udviklet en kasket, som er endnu bedre til at optage sved. Det skal vi alt sammen kigge på i den kommende tid,” siger Jesper Hansen.

 

Mentalt godt rustet
For at vænne sig til de udfordrende klimatiske forhold planlægges en træningslejr i Australien i et område, hvor temperaturen og luftfugtigheden minder om Tokyos. Jesper Hansen er dog fortrøstningsfuld i forhold til at kunne håndtere vanskelige situationer, når det går løs i Japan.

”Til OL i London i 2012 væltede hele korthuset for mig. Til den officielle træning, lige inden vi skulle i konkurrence, udbrød et kæmpe tordenvejr, og jeg fik jeg ikke lov til at skyde. Jeg syntes, at alt gik mig imod, og jeg magtede ikke komme videre rent mentalt,” siger Jesper Hansen og fortsætter:

”Sådan ville jeg ikke reagere i dag, for i mellemtiden har jeg være så meget forskelligt igennem. Jeg har haft fiaskoer og succeser, så jeg har en helt anden rutine at trække på. OL er et kæmpe cirkus, og det skal man kunne forholde sig til. I Rio ved mit andet OL var det meget nemmere for mig at holde fokus i forhold til London-legene, hvor jeg hele tiden blev bragt ud af kurs.”

Jesper Hansen blev nummer 26 ved OL i London, mens han blev nummer 5 ved OL i Rio fire år senere.

 

Bor tæt ved skydestadion
Der er blevet arbejdet hårdt på at finde de rigtige rammer for skytterne Tokyo. Det har resulteret i, at de kommer til at bo i nogle lejligheder lige ved siden af skydestadionet. Dermed sparer de cirka to timers daglig transport i forhold til, hvis de havde boet i den officielle OL-by.

”Jeg glæder mig over, at den første skytte nu er udtaget, og jeg er sikker på, at vi har fundet en løsning, som giver skytterne de bedste betingelser i Tokyo. Danskerne kan se frem til nogle spændende konkurrencer fra skydebanen, og forhåbentlig kommer Jesper Hansen til at spille en hovedrolle,” siger Søren Simonsen, der er DIF’s OL chef de mission.

Hos Team Danmark, der samarbejder tæt med Jesper Hansen frem mod OL, arbejder man med at få skabt de bedst mulige betingelser for et godt resultat i Tokyo.

”Jesper har i en lang årrække placeret sig i toppen til internationale mesterskaber, og han har niveauet og erfaringen til at præstere blandt de bedste næste sommer. Det bliver varmt i Tokyo, og det har vi naturligvis fokus på i forberedelserne. Vi arbejder blandt andet med ernærings- og væskestrategi og det tøj, Jesper Hansen har på under konkurrencerne. På den måde forsøger vi i fællesskab at håndtere de klimatiske vilkår i Japan og måske endda gøre dem til en konkurrencefordel for Jesper,” siger Team Danmarks direktør, Lone Hansen.

The Olympics may be far away, but another athlete has now been added to the Danish team as Rower Sverri Nielsen has been selected for the Men's single sculls!

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
