67 year old Ingemar Stenmark, known for his 86 world cup wins in alpine skiing has started pole vaulting and might participate at the world masters Championship 2024! https://www.svt.se/sport/friidrott/ingemar-stenmark-tranar-stavhopp-oppnar-for-veteran-vm--irl1f6

Very fun podium! But boring course

Moa Ilar!!!

Pätz is leading the stats for fourths by around 10% and had the best % of all ladies. That is not common for a for a fourth player.

Most interesting from Gallivare this weekend: Moa Ilar won before Karlsson and Andersson in 10km free individual start. 17 year old Myhlback 3rd in men´s sprint. Cyril Faendrich (SUI) won men´s 10km free.

That is very impressing! Discussed this with my team mates during the swedish super league and we think Retornaz will win the olympic gold in 2026! Also interesting that only 1 of 8 quarter finalists in the National (the grand slam event last week) was canadian

Congrats on Retornaz win! Italy is on its way to become a powerhouse in curling despite very small base of players if I am not mistaken.

Sweden world Champions, Silver to Spain and bronze to Canada'!

Sweden vs. Spain for gold, Canada and Norway in bronze game

Anything can happend in Mixed. Smaller nations usually send their best players. The good nations send some people who just wants to play for fun and who is not occupied with the grand slam or something else that happens at the same time as the qualifying national championship or the worlds (as it is for now when top-30 teams for men and women in the world plays Tour challenge). Team Sweden that now is seed 1 for the playoffs after 8/8 wins is a combination of two retired females (with good merits though), one male with no international experience and a skip that wasn´t even part of the winning team in the swedish mixed nationals, but stepped in because the original skip decides to play in the Tour challenge Tier 2 competition in Canada instead . just look at Belgium in quarter finals!!

My fault to jinx it. I wrote with maybe 30 seconds more to play in my comment here that the game ended 2-2. Had to Edit immediately. Such a way to probably miss olympics.

And there was a game finally that ended 3-2 to Spain after a penalty goal in the very last second

Hasselborg vs Wranå best of 7 this weekend about who to represent SWE in Euros. Wranå 2-0 so far

Such circus in the spanish football team. No one still knows if someone will actually play on friday against Sweden in the Nations league premiere, also working as olympic qualification.

In the oldest annual team event in athletics between Sweden and Finland , Sweden won 228.5-225.5 on womens side and 227-227 on mens side (more event wins)

Olympic, world and now also European team champs! And that this time without Peder Fredricsson. Looks like his brother is quite good too

If you mean 10% of the population in the specific country I really hope for the sport that it is not the case. Just being able to talk about Sweden I am pretty sure the majority know about Daniel Ståhl, and when almost 10% of the population watched the championship everyday - I even think some other swedish non-stars are known by 10%.

Not that practice matters but they say Ståhl threw 73.65 in practice on pre-camp in good winds. I guess this winning Throw, in good winds would have been at least that long! And of course 4 throwers could have been over 70 in windy conditions

ofc, Autocorrect :o He had the previous CR from last year.

wow! Denny could have won many finals with that result but finish 4th. And Czech Did the third ever 70+ Throw in a world final, after father Alekna and himself - and get that Championship record stolen a minute later, in bad discus Throw conditions! disastrous from Swedish tv, commercials destruering celebrations and almost missed the 110m hurldes final because of the commercials

Never before have 4 throwers in discus been over 68 in a world or olympic final!

So cute. Being a star herself, Katarina Johnson Thompson very starstruck when being interviewed by Carolina Klüft in Swedish tv
