The world

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!)

It was an exciting first half of the day with the mens slopestyle where we had three guys entering.  Henrik Harlaut made it to the final 12 and ended up on 6th place. Good job!

Our biathlon guys didn’t come thru – we need new fresh young skiers in this event.

Then our amazing Charlotte Kalla managed to get her second silver medal – this time on the 10k race.

Our guys won their curling this morning and our women won both their games. Both teams have very good chances in making it to the semifinals – great!

We have a figure skater – Majorov – compeeting tonight in the short program. He set a personal record and is currently on the 5th place. Our ladies are playing ice hockey against Russia right now – but they need to shape up in order to win.

Our pride and joy -Tre Kronor – played their first game tonight against Czechia with the great Jaromir Jagr. We will also meet Latvia and Switzerland in the first round.

We started out great with a quick 4-0 lead, then they woke up and made two quick goals but we were able to pull ourselves together and keep the distance. Perfect start!

I really hope our team will go far in this Olympics – we didn’t do too well in the last one but won gold before that.  We have a pretty strong team but are missing a couple of stars due to injuries.

Our men and women have played curling – the round robin continues – with some wins and some losses. I don’t really know how far it will take them. Two of our ladies have competed in the downhill but with no top ten result.

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.

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..
