IJsbrand

 

 

Is it really "IJsbrand" and not "Ijsbrand"? Seeing that capital J more often than not annoys me.

 

But anyway, IJsbrand/Ijsbrand kind of flopped on yesterday's marathon...

Yes, it really is IJsbrand  

 

The 'ij' is considered to be one letter in Dutch and so both are written in capital form in a name or at the beginning of a sentence (when a sentence start with 'IJshockey' for example, ice hockey).

So in translation his name would be "Ice Man"? FItting.

Look! Apparently an Olympic fencing champion from 1976 has randomly appeared at the presentation ceremony.

No, that's just silly.

 

Spoiler

'Brand' means fire, so his literally translated name would be 'Ice Fire'.

Why does that lady on the right have one of those cheap airline flight attendant scarfs around her neck?

Well, flight attendant randomly appearing only fulfills this random picture of randomness.

By the way, is it me, is it this picture or has Bach gotten really much fatter lately?

I don't think it's the picture. Probably just all those mixed gender meals he's been devouring.
