  1. I was today’s year old when i discovered there is a rollerski with electronic brakes you activate from the poles.

    Obscene expensive too:

  2. A local #dog made a bid for #Olympic glory Wednesday morning, breaking out of his doghouse & onto the homestretch of the #CrossCountrySki course in the middle of a race.

    Two-year-old #Nazgul [love the Tolkien name] was quickly collared by race officials & returned unharmed to his home at a nearby B&B, but not before his genial presence lit up television sets & social media channels around the world—even if he perplexed some of the athletes who encountered him.

  5. OMG you guys! I just had the best idea!

    You know how gorgeous ice dancing is?
    Wait until you see CROSS COUNTRY SKI DANCING!

    Anyone can be fancy and romantic when your blade is smaller than your actual shoe. But what if it was FIVE FEET LONG! (That's a meter and a half for metrical types.)

  9. Att krocka med bil, bli helkroppsförlamad, förlora hela sparkapitalet till bedragare, djupt deprimerad MEN till slut övervinna allt och alla och bestiga Mt Everest utan syrgas, det är bilden av en vinnare.

    Jag tänker nog att om #CalleHalvarsson lyckas bli topp 5 i något lopp under #OS2026 är det en minst lika tydlig bild av en vinnare.

  10. Have arrived back to #Snow in Denmark - normally details of where there is skiable snow (on #CrosscountrySki trails + golf courses) plus photos etc is shared via FB, wondering if there would be appetite for an open signal group to share such messages instead? #SneDK #SnowDK #Sne
