Olympics 2022 Beijing

The winter olympics in Beijing has started and Sweden took our first medal yesterday – a gold one – in men’s mogul freestyle skiing. Walter Wallberg. Yeah!

Our troop consists of 118 athletes – spread out in 11 of the 15 different sports that is represented in this years olympics.

Second gold medal today – in men’s 5000m speed skating. Congratulations, Nils van den Poel! First medal in speed skating for Sweden in 34 years! Yeah! And on Friday he is participating in the 10000m run too – fingers crossed he’ll land another medal!

A quiet day – trying to relax and regain energy for next week. Our vacuum cleaner died the other day so we went to buy a new one after lunch. Found one we liked – hopefully it will do the trick.

Made chicken tikka masala for dinner – thai chicken for our youngest. Our oldest is spending some time with his friends today so he’s having dinner with them.
