– as I see it..
What a day! One silver and one bronze to our excellent skiers Peterson and Jönsson. And we even had 3 skiers in the final but the third one came in last.
Our hockey ladies won towards Germany! Good job! Much more stabile than the first game.
A few more good results but no more medals.
My youngest is a brilliant cook and we made a great lasagna together for dinner! It is so much fun to spend time cooking with him – he has a great pallet and tastes and adds herbs and spices as he cooks. I wonder if there is a culinary future for him..
You can find the recipe in my cookbook!
Moguls today.. both our guys made it to the finals.
Curling-day too. Both the ladies and men won their first games.
Biathlon didn’t go too well though..
A lovely Sunday brunch at Sundby Gård to celebrate my mother-in-law. It was really nice except for the pooring rain. The restaurant has a fantastic view over the lake Orlången and we were hoping for a nice walk after lunch but the weather didn’t allow us.
Now an afternoon in my corner enjoying the Olympics on tv. Two days – two silver medals so far!
Good start for Damkronorna – our women hockey team with victory 1-0 towards Japan.
A second silver today in skiathlon! Congratulations to Marcus Hellner!
The competition continuous – at our place this time. The 8 songs tonight were pretty tight.
Straight to finale: Sanna Nielsen and Panetoz
Second chance: JEM and Martin Stenmark
The first day has almost come to an end – and Sweden has been rewarded with a silver medal in skiathlon. Congratulations Charlotte Kalla!
Sven Thorgren came 4th in the slopestyle but he did so good we all thought he would receive a medal. But the judges didn’t agree.
The other Swedes had an ok day but no more top 5.
The Olympic Games in Sotji has started. The 22nd winter games since the first one back in 1924 when it was held in Chamonix, France.
The opening ceremony was spectacular, as to be expected. The first winter games to be held in Russia – they have only hosted a summer game before.
Tretjak lit the olympic fire together with Rodnina. A goalie of
rank and a figure skater queen got the honor. Lovely. They were given the torch from Karelin – the Greco-Roman wrestler – Karelin’s wrestling record is 887 wins and only two losses in his entire sport career. Try and beat that – if you can!
Now let’s hope our Swedish athletes win some victories and bring home lots of good memories and are proud to be part of the Olympic Games. I know we have a good team and I hope they will able to perform on the amazing level that got them to be part of our team.
May the best athlete win and the games begin!
Tonight the whole family (well except my boys.. ) went to see the XL-galan in the Ericsson Globe Arena and what a night! A new world record on 3000m set by Dibaba, a new European record on 1500 m set by our own Aregawi and a new arena record on 200m set by the young Swedish runner Irene Ekelund. Great results over all! It is amazing to be part of so much joy and excitement!
The snow is melting away. It is rainy and foggy and dark. No fun at all. This time of year I want lots of snow and cold weather. Now I’m just longing for spring and summer – to get some sunlight and d-vitamins and regain energy.
Lots of fun things to look forward to in the next couple of days so I guess things are pretty good after all.
