The first 2 attempts have been pretty anticlimactic

Graversgaard wins her heat! The magic of the hurdles!

Huge shot put final!

The machine clearly showed her moving before Perez, but moving before the gun is apparently legal as long as you don't leave the position. According to the Danish commentators, she was only DQ'ed because her hand actually touched the line.

I'm half Swedish but that was without doubt the right decision in the end. BS rule that she could get out of that movement!

I'm no fan of TikTok, but it is a huge platform from where a lot of people get their information. Working with influencers seems like a very logical step, also to prevent misinformation.

According to Danish news, Gabriel "Iffe" Lundberg is set to join Phoenix Suns and thereby become Denmark's first NBA player! He played for CSKA Moscow but officially cancelled his contract yesterday.

Table tennis and badminton are pretty clear to me (believe me, I really want to pick J-O, but Ma Long is ahead). Tough pick in tennis, but I ended up going with Serena though Graf was damn close.

Quite a few experts say that it wasn't really close to any kind of disaster. Those plants are made to withstand quite a lot!

No. I want it to be a way out of the ban that has been imposed by more and more federations and recommended by the IOC. Most sanctions sadly hurts the people just as much or even more than the leaders starting the wars. I'm pretty sure that a ban in sports will be tough on the Russian leaders as well considering how Putin and co. have used sports for politics, but it will certainly be tough on athletes and fans in Russia. Giving them a way out doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me (then we should certainly also be ready to support them if it give them trouble in their own country). It's a gray area, no doubt, but I'm sure there could be a way of letting some athletes get a chance. This should (and will) start a discussion on when to actually ban nations. Could have been the US and supporting nations (including my own) when invading Iraq, questioning on Israel, India-Pakistan and others. I don't know

There's really no way to disconnect those two, sadly. Russia have been using sports for political purpose quite a lot. Personally I wouldn't mind Russian athletes participating as long as they unconditionally go against the invasion and show up without anything russian. Meanwhile people like Karjakin and Viatjeslav Barkov should be kept far away from international events. But also, I do think the IOC has a decent point. The invasion keeps Ukrainian athletes away as their country is under attack. Then let's keep the attacking nations away as well.

Considering that the Olympics are pretty far away, they can't really do more.

I'm seeing claims about people sleeping in line waiting for more cash for the ATMs.

Meanwhile it's starting to sound like Belarus is going to send in troops as well!

and joining in closing the airspace. Got to say, massive respect to how neighbouring countries are taking the task of welcoming refugees so far. Hearing some great stories from both Romania, Poland and Slovakia!

Which will just mean another Maidan revolution!

It's really damn clever. This way they can both protest Russia and boycot the Worlds that cost thousands of lives!

As expected, joins and

Belarus actively helped staging the invasion. That's the last place Ukraine would go to negotiate!

Some interesting intel If true there's hope though it will certainly be a tough time!

: Meh. Good job by the ice hockey teams, Dyrbye in the slalom and Ukaleq in biathlon. The speed skaters very disappointing and the women's curling team below expectations as well. : Great but not fantastic. Sure record numbers of medals and gold, but it was the worst championship for the Cross-country team in more than 10 years and some other top athletes underperformed as well.

The Danish football league just restarted this weekend. 5 rounds before splitting into 2 halves and my team is just below the split at the moment. But we just announced Jack Wilshere as a new player today. And of course the real start of the cycling season next week with Omloop and Kuurne next weekend. Not to forget plenty of winter sports world cups still to come. The indoor athletics world championships will be another highlight as well.

I'm back!

Clever just saying Weng
