51-åringen från Ruhpolding, demontränaren kallad, har devisen Träna hårt skrivet i pannan och han är en man som inte lämnar något åt slumpen.
Unbelievable.
Evgeni Plushenko is simply amazing.

Big ups to the Noggies for helping a Canadian lass (Sara Renner) win a silver in cross-country skiing.
In an attempt to repay this show of good sportsmanship, Canada's speed skating clowns are appealing a decision to the CAS (Court for Arbitration in Sport) for a Noggie lifting their skate as they crossed the finish line

Yes it was fantastic, and to do it all in just 3.5 years really shows how much natural talent she must have.
Seeing and hearing all the interviews with her afterward, she sounds so amazingly happy and overwhelmed by it all, a genuine and grounded sportswoman.
A shame the same can't be said for footballers and those in the more traditional mainstream sports here in Britain; well less and less often anyway, to the point of it becoming an almost endangered species at some time in the future you might think.
It can be such a great thing, us winning the chance to host the summer games in 2012; i just hope the government don't screw things up funding wise.
Tessa Jowell said this >>
Yes that's all very nice and political but the government is failing our sportsmen and women in both the Summer and Winter Olympic events, Shelley Rudman's home village had to a whole host of fundraisers to get her to Turin in good shape, that shouldn't be happening.
Anyway, i'll get off me soap box, WELL DONE SHELLEY!
Let's all hope for more success.
Today there is the Curling, Skeleton, Ice Dancing and Skiing [Women's Combined] to look to.

I don't give a damn about it either but Sweden beating the yanks in ladies hockey is comparable to Belarus beating Sweden 2002.
Foppa won't be crap
Im not suprised that you beat the USA cos Finland "nearly" beat them... Was 3-2 up after 2 periods(Yes they lost the 3rd period 4-0 of summat).... So theyre not unbeateble, Canada is though, Fin will lose 11-1 to them....Richter said:I don't give a damn about it either but Sweden beating the yanks in ladies hockey is comparable to Belarus beating Sweden 2002.

He cant be 100% fit no fecking way. As I said dont expect too much from him...

Of course he isn't 100% but he's invaluable in Powerplay, Foppa dictating our powerplay is a couple of extra goals.

Not so sure about the Canadians anymore. The "new" refereeing standard in hockey seem to prefer the technical teams. Russians and Slovaks looking really good. The times where Canada could bully the others are gone, i.e. like when injuring Forsberg in the first period.
Did anyone see the women's snowboard race (I can't remember the name of the event) where the leader tried to do some showboating over the final jump as all her competitors had fallen over, and she fell over and lost her gold medal.
I think she was a Yank.

Gerber is quality on his day. He has played for the team I support in Sweden for 2 seasons before going to NHL and he was unreal some matches. Unfortunately some other matches he was Dudek.
