  1. Something rather interesting and possibly worrying is happening on olympic.org. Several medalists have disappeared from the medal summary. This includes Rudisha, Farah,Thiago Braz Da Silva, Kipchoge and Cheruiyot.
  2. Thanks a lot Had to get up pretty early to go the rest of the way home, but still ended up watching all of the match (well, only found it just after the first goal) Such a typical win by our juniors. The way we sometimes play in the defense, it's a wonder that we don't have more defensemen or goaltenders in the NHL (and KHL)
  3. Looking very interesting for our team. I'm crossing my fingers for another year in the top division.
  4. A merry christmas to all of you as well. In both Denmark and Sweden (where I am at christmas this year) the 24th is the main day. In my family we've usually been celebrating christmas eve in Swedish manner (a major christmas lunch starting with fish (mainly herring marinated in different ways, but a lot of people also have salmon) and then different kinds of meat (both cold and heated) with a ham as the main dish. after the lunch we watch the disney "christmas special" (I believe that's mainly a nordic thing). After that it's presents and lots of different christmas cake. Usually our family eats a Danish Christmas dinner on christmas day consisting of duck with two types of potatoes (usually boiled and a kind of sugar coated potatoes), gravy and pickled red cabbage. Others eat roast pork. As a dessert we eat risalamande which is cold rice pudding mixed with lightly whipped cream, vanilla, sugar and chopped almonds. This is served with a warm cherry sauce. A tradition is hiding one whole almond in the mix. The person getting this one wins a present. Sadly we won't do this tomorrow, but we will eat duck on the 30th where we'll have a "second christmas" with presents from Denmark. The 26th is very traditional when it comes to sports in Sweden, with both bandy and Ice Hockey being big events. Denmark doesn't have any real traditional things, though the women's handball Cup ends between Christmas and New Year.
  5. Well... Parts of me really wants bestmen to host, just to see the absolutely freaking amazing contest he apparently will make. But then again, most of me would be skeptical towards competing
  6. No problem for Denmark The X games are very popular and we have a skate board legend (Rune Glifberg) who would be a great candidate Though I strongly agree in the skepticism, I don't think they will have trouble getting viewers.
  7. Sandra Näslund also crashed while preparing for today's World Cup competition. Luckily she "only" injured her elbow.
  8. Victor Öhling Norberg isn't sure to compete tomorrow as he has been by Holmlund's side.
  9. Well. If a fresh start is necessary, I would prefer having prediction contests in the future and not getting the results from the Olympics.
  10. I do agree with you on most points, but one thing should be considered. Most event won't evolve by itself. Getting them into the Olympics will without doubt give them more interest, both by being on tv and potential participants selecting them to have a chance at the Olympics. Though they have a chance at being pioneers, I think a lot of women has selected kayaking in front of canoeing in the past, because it's only now that women's canoeing is on the way into the Olympics. I feel pretty sure that the chance of being in the Olympics makes more people select the sport or specific event. Therefore the "planning" has the major problem that it may very well be an uphill fight to strengthen the sport/event if they can't guarantee that it will be in the Olympics withing a reasonable period of time.
  11. Too bad the girls couldn't keep it up from the main round. Also it would've been very interesting to see the match if we didn't have such a terrible start in the 2nd half. But well. A semi final was already more than expected. It's an extremely interesting young team, and with this tournament, I really look forward to the future of the team!
  12. Well. Wanting to host doesn't necessarily mean that you think the winner shouldn't be first in line. Afterall there are still a lot more countries not showing interest than doing so.
  13. What's not to understand? The winner doesn't want to host, therefore it's up to everybody else to bid. That was actually one of the arguments for it.
