Not a very exciting day for Sweden. Our giant slalom ladies all managed to complete their race but no medals unfortunately.
Tomorrow will be a much more eventful day starting with the quarter final in ice hockey.
Pyssel hos S – 17 feb 2014
Vi har lite blandpyssel och mysar efter en god paj till middag. Jag stickar, de andra gör dörrskylt, viker servetter och klipper tyg till en Minecraft figur. Härlig skön kväll!
Sotji – day 10
What a day – biathlon postponed one more day and not much else to do than wait for that fog to go away.
Sweden-USA in the ladies semi finals in ice hockey.. not going too well though with a crushing 6-1 lead for the US as we speak. But, it is very good that we have managed to get this far considering we are not a top hockey nation and not even ranked very high. A bronze game awaits on Thursday – most likely towards Switzerland (they are playing Canada tonight).
Still some curling left today to enjoy – other than that no more Swedish participants today as far as I know.
Lazy Sunday
A long lazy day in my corner enjoying the Olympics. I have been working on my knitting project which is turning out ok. It is quite fun to knit with more than one colour and make patterns.
Next week is the last week before winter break. I will take a few days off and get two long weekends. Lovely.
Sotji – day 9
Our amazing male team (Nelson, Richardsson, Olsson and Hellner) defended their gold in relay 4x10km cross country from Vancouver!
Our cross country teams have achieved 9 medals so far which is amazing in itself. I don’t think they have missed top 3 once so far and even taken 2 medals in the same race a couple of times.
Our curling teams are also doing great and will soon start playing in the semi final rounds.
We still have one more event with Swedish participants today – biathlon – which used to be a very big event in Sweden but this team has not proved themselves so far. Good luck today!
Mello -3
Tonight we are invited to my sister’s for coffee and ice-cream to watch the third part of the song contest together!
Today was quite emotional with a lot of great achievements sport wise getting our first gold in this Olympics. Me and my oldest went shopping in town for a few hours – he needed a guide between the gaming stores.
Straight to the finale; Oscar Zia and Ace Wilder
Second chance; Outrigger and State of Drama
Sotji – day 8
What a day – first our ice hockey ladies managed to turn the quarter final around and win with 4-2 and are now in the semi finals! Then our women cross country skiers (Ida Ingemarsdotter, Emma Wikén, Anna Haag, Charlotte Kalla) fought themselves to a glorious victory in the 4x5km relay. Our last lady – Charlotte Kalla – managed to catch up 26 sec to the top two and win! Amazing! A nice golden medal each as a reward.
Curling going great too. Super G down hill was a small disaster for more than the Swedish skiers.. but hockey again tonight – Sweden vs Latvia (5-3). Life is pretty good!
Valentine’s Day
Three roses from my three guys on Valentine’s Day. They got a box of candy hearts from me. The roses are stunning and smell so good. And a whole weekend ahead to enjoy them!
Sotji – day 7
Oh how I wished I was tucked in my corner all day so that I could have watched our great skiers take the silver (Olsson) and the bronze (Richardsson) on the men 15k.
And also been able to watch our rock Alfredsson make the goal we needed to beat Switzerland in the ice hockey game. He is 41 years old and still going strong. Our team captain is injured and replaced by Kronwall for the rest of the Olympics. Good thing that didn’t prevent us from winning!
This morning our guys won over China in curling – China was undefeated so far so that was a great achievement.
Watching the figure skating as we speak.. fingers crossed! (He took a new Swedish record and qualified for the singles free skating which is amazing!)
Tw-delivery
A few weeks after a Tupperware party it’s time for Tupperware delivery.. now I have a hallway full of colorful plastic containers of all sorts. Lol. But I don’t mind. Time to hand them out!
My cough is still hanging in there.. three weeks now and I have tried all kinds of cough medicine but nothing seem to work. 🙁
I will see a doctor if it still is bothering me after the weekend.
