Doesn't happen a lot, but that's a story that really, really touched me. Damn, didn't know it had all been so hard :(

I think now you got me wrong ;) I didn't mean to say that you said anything about "old", but in general some people do of course. Not strange, cause for sporting terms, realistically, he is old :zunge2: Anyway, I meant it as a compliment to Noriaki "God" Kasai, the person in the entire...

The normal Dutch commentator isn't there (teachers have to teach on friday :zunge2: ), so the Ersatz is there. He isn't awake yet: "So, Tochimoto will open the competition tomorrow, then Takahashi, Okabe and Kobayashi, the young Japanese jumpers who made it through the national group."...

:D: And why not? It's more than 10 years ago that he was really one of the best jumpers, but he kept going. And look what happened, now he is one of the best jumpers again :up: What do you mean, "old"? He is getting younger and more fit every year :hihi:

Austria is the favourite, and it would simply be a very big surprise if they don't get a medal. But ok, by now we all know how incredibly pessimistic you are about Austria, and that your opinion about Austria's chances is usually very unrealistic and einfach lächerlich. If the doctors say that...

Danke schön :up:

Doesn't make it easier that this "Austrian German" is pretty hard to understand for non-Germans/Austrians :pffft: But after that someone asked "How big do you think the chance for ein Olympiastart is, bigger than 50%?", then he laughed a bit like "joah" :D: And the goal is Sochi, so there is...

Did I understand right that he is going to watch the Olympics on tv....? :( He said something about watching it on tv, but didn't understand if he meant that he will do that, or if he meant that he is happy he won't have to do that. Edit: Sorry, I heard it now. He hopes he will be fit enough...

If I understood right, the neurological part seems good and there are no signs of danger or something like that :up:

Not 100% sure if it's official (read it on Twitter and Facebook, usually I read the first news here :D: ): TEAM SLOVENIA FOR SOCHI Robert Kranjec Peter Prevc Jaka Hvala Jurij Tepes Jernej Damjan

Yes, it is Petitjean (who will also be in the Olympics) :up:

I am pretty sure that last month in some Langlauf results I saw a young girl from Togo somewhere in the bottom, I think she was from something like 1995-1997 :) Oh that was Awa Tometi, but I see she is from 1987. Can people from 1994 be in the Junior-WM? In that case it must be Mathilde-Amivi...

Sklett, what happened with him the past time :hmpf: Seems Tande is going for the 5th ticket, not Tom :(

Oh and what he is trying to say is "Meedoen is belangrijker dan winnen", which means something like "Participating is more important than winning".

I don't know if it's possible to watch it outside Holland, but here is a short "behind the scenes" video with Edwards, preparing for his part in the daily Olympics show on the NOS :zunge2: http://nos.nl/video/600238-eddie-the-eagle-te-gast-bij-nos.html

Edwards will be on Dutch tv every day during the Olympics, where he will have a short part in the daily program about "low level" athletes in the Winter Olympics. You know, like himself, or like the legendary Eric Moussambani in Sydney 2000.

I can see what you mean, but come on, a little bit more respect wouldn't hurt anyone. And yes, with things like first women's rights and later gay's rights countries like Germany moved forward a lot faster than countries like Russia :)

A short interview with the Russian men's coach: http://www.sports.ru/others/skiing/156039955.html And there goes my respect for the Russian coach. Ignorant man who still lives in the 15th century :down:

I don't often agree with that ffranz guy from Austria here, but I think this can be called a "Juxwettbewerb" or something like that? :hihi:

Warum eigentlich kein Loitzl? To save him/test Poppinger?
