Our great Anja Pärson fell so horribly yesterday evening in the olympics. I couldnt breathe for minutes after her fall. 60 meters fall and in that speed... oh my!
Then the super woman gets up and "only" has a muscle bleeding in the thigh and it was such a relief! Then tonight, this super lady stands there, ready to start in the combination and without any fear, just goes down like nothing had happened and are still in the position of getting a medal in the olympics.
Me and my son sat there watching and I asked him: would you dare to go downhill that fast like they do?
He said: no way!
And I must say: Anja, you are amazing! To fall like that yesterday and still do the competition today, is worth a hero-medal from me, for sure;=)

I would say like your son. Anja is really amazing, doing the combined only a day after a fall like this... It was awful to watch, this fall. And today she made the 7th time (if it didn't change since the biathlon started) in the downhill!! On the french eurosport both guys who commented the race said she was a true champion, and i haveto say that i agree.
ReplyDeleteBut then, Anja is one of the biggest skier of all time! Anette, do you remember some years ago, when she was fighting with Kostelic for the big glob? Anja made a bad race, and we had to wait unil the last skier made her race (i ended shouting for a spanish skier!)... And with only a few points more (i think she had only 5 more points than Kostelic), Anja won the big globe! Oh my, you don't need to be nervous to support Anja.... But what a skier!!!! She's the one who made me love alpine ski, and so far the only skier who could made me shout (something like ALLEZALLEZALLEZ!!!!GOGOGOGOGO!!!!!! all the race, follewed by a victory cry or a curse)....
Really, i love Anja.
*hugs*

That's admirable indeed and full of professionalism. I believe that when someone truly has a passion for something, be it sports or anything else, and they know they worked hard for it, they will manage to get through it even though they're not in the best shape. Just like Anja did now. Soaring body and all, probably not the best mood either after that fall, yet she still fights for that she loves doing and what she's there for. All respect for this kinda people.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes me think of that poor guy who died just before the Olympics started this year, while training. He was only 21 and apparently he stood no chance, hitting that iron bar or whatever it was at a great speed. It's such a huge pity when people die or come to harm because of something they love and dedicate themselves to.
So kudos to everyone who is brave and strong enough to do what they like in spite of all dangers or obstacles.
Have a super-nice evening and a great Friday!
Hi Anette
ReplyDeleteOUCH!!!!!&& WOW!!!! It seems as though the International Olympics Committee is refusing you permission to post this video for viewing. What are they looking for royalties? MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY I swear that's all some people have the mentality to think.
Enjoy the evening,
lots of love,
Gary
Damn, some people are so strong (body and mind)! Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteKram
Usch, jag läste om det! ;=(
ReplyDeleteFöljer inte OS men kollar då tvn står på, hänger inte med så mycket alls.
Den kvinnan verkar stark iallafall ;=)
Jag vet inte om du vet att en bild på din lägenhet (så som alla bandmedlemmars band) ligger ute på denna sida?
http://anetteolzon-nightwish.blogspot.com/2009/12/nightwish-place-where-they-live.html
Ville berätta, så du ja...du vet NU isåfall.
OM det är sanna bilder, supermysig lägenhet du verkar ha. Tror jag gått förbi där på min semester, haha coolt om jag gör det nu i sommar, kompisen flyttar dit så ska hälsa på där ;=) vore kul om man fick träffa dig. Men antar att "ödet" bestämmer!
Tuomas hem var helt fantastiskt *_* hade föreställt mig något HELT annat ;=)
Kram!
Oh my goooosh guuuurl, I know, it was horrible! I felt like I hyper-ventilated!
ReplyDeleteIt looked like it hurt like hell...
Speaking of Sweden. We played a game today
in my psychology class to review
for the test tomorrow. We were split
into teams (boys vs. girls), and
had to answer a question, and if we got
right we had to stand 6 ft. away from a
tub that we shot a volleyball into.
Then if the shooter got it right, they could
steal a player from the other team
to put on their team.
So, always in this class I make references
to Sweden. I just think you're country
and culture is amazing compared to American
culture. I make references to Sweden or I say
that's the answer to something when it's not
even close to the answer.
The answer could be "taboos" and I say
Sweden. Haha, then since I missed last school
week, some girl sat in my desk and the
teacher told her all of her answers had to
be Sweden because he wanted her to be
me for the week. Haha
Anyway, back to the story, when the guys
were allowed to take a member from the girls
team, 6 of them pointed to me and said,
"We want Sweden!". So now my nickname is Sweden. I kinda like it, hihi!
Anyway, hope you enjoy your evening!
Hugs and love, Katie T.
Dear Anette,
ReplyDeleteI agree: Anja deserves a hero medal!
I've seen the downhill this morning and it was truly terrible how she fell.....I was shocked, and so so sorry for her, because she would have probably taken silver at the downhill!
I was relieved as she got up and it's really really brave that she continues competing!
Hope she will have lots of good luck!
Good night and sleep well!
Love,
Herta
YES!!!!YES!!!!YES!!!!! ANJA GOT BRONZE!!!!
ReplyDeleteUsually i wouldn't be too happy with that result, but only a day after her big fall, i found the result amazing!!! And did you saw her face when she finished the slalom??? She almost scared me... But the winner is here, YES!!! And she was doing her great thing on her belly, i really love when she's doing it... :))) Oh, and i'm in love with her bonnet too, wish i could have the same.... *blush*
ANJA GOT BRONZE, YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!
*HUGS*
Steff
I love people like this!! They have such a lust for life. So much strength & ambition...I would love to be this fit & strong.
ReplyDelete& Hello Anette hope you are having some nice relaxing time.
I have some time to relax on my day off tomorrow....so i will listen to my "Made in Hong Kong" Album =) xxx
Kisses

Hyhy, I've just watched three of her other accidents on youtube, and yes, after that kind of falls I'll throw away my ski equipment. :D It's scary, this speed.
ReplyDeleteShe's lucky, but it's not the first time for her to get hurt. She's strong, she has purpose to be strong.
I like skiing. In march I'm going to France with friends, but still, it's the beginning of my adventure with it. I hope I wouldn't kill myself in first day there :D So that kind of strength will be really helpful for me. And I hope I will find it in me :D
Dear Anette,
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar situation with our Dutch Annette Gerritsen. She fell with speed skating while she would probably have won a gold medal if she had not fall. Today she skated again and has just won a silver medal with a 0,02 difference from the number 1. I am proud of her and of our third place winner Laurine van Riessen.
Have a good night.
Yours,
Lisa
Hello Anette :)
ReplyDeleteSome women in sports are really unbelievable... I don't know if you were following the sprint cross country competition where a Slovenian, Petra Majdic, was competing severely injured, with 4 of her ribs broken due to a training crash earlier, and still won the bronze medal. (The news on this made it to Washington Post, if you are interested.) These are super women indeed!
Hugs,
Tanja
I read it on the news and, wow, they run in such a speed, I'm amazed. It seems to be very exciting, yet dangerous. Gladly she was "OK" and could keep on the competition.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a nice night sleep by this time, lots of warm hugs to you.
Hello Ane,
ReplyDeleteI was watching when happen it
So horrible but she feeling good
Ya... she's a super woman
So strong and courage
Kisses and hugs from Nightwishbrasil.com

I saw the fall! It was ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteShe did great in the combined though.
Hej Anette! Now you're dealing with watching TV with your son, I'd like to ask you a question about that. I study Finnish and Swedish at university. On thursdays, our Swedish lecturer make us watch swedish web TV. At every time I watch a program called Barda ( on svt website) and I would like to know if you and your son whatch this program. To me it's quite nice and fun to make children live in a fantastic world for one day. I wish we could have this kind of program in France!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing pieces of your nice moments and your good vibes with us ;)
