Dear Norway. Our beloved – but sometimes somewhat annoying little brother in the north.
On Saturday you will meet a future world star – so don’t forget to take advantage of it. Don’t resist and it will be over soon.
It’s time for Holger Rune to get revenge. Revenge against the brave man who needed to brutalize a Danish teenager in the catacombs during Roland Garros two years ago.
It can get scary in Rome.
And now that I have you here. Let’s make one thing clear:
You have chess and biathlon. I thought we agreed on that? And then we are good at sports where a ball is involved.
The Italian Open is broadcast on Eurosport and Discovery+.
Sports that are actually of worldwide interest, where geography is not decisive and where you don’t have a huge advantage because you live in a land of freezing snow.
Brutally Honest: – Fear
Yeah, great – you’ve loaned out women’s handball for a few decades, but that’s ending soon too. Before long they will be beaten like Anja Andersen did against Trine Haltvik and Kjersti Grini in the 90s.
You are a country of chess and biathlon. Make peace with this thought. Enjoy your oil millions, move the springs to E4, and let the rest of us play sports that really matter.
And let’s join and appear with the likes of vulgar goal freak Erling Haaland and Martin “Eriksen light” Ødegaard. And you can take him here, Casper Ruud, completely out of the way.
Come on! A “pretty boy” without charisma, who wears a headband despite having short hair!?
Races: – Clear discrimination
Yes, preserved. He did well for a few seasons. But he is a passer in the history of tennis. Because it’s inevitable – Holger Rune will become one of the greatest Nordic athletes of all time.
Good game – and kudos to Magnus Carlsen, who will soon meet an 85-year-old Russian in what we in Denmark call a summer house activity.
