I am not the biggest fan of hockey or women's hockey for that matter. However this morning I had the great privilege of viewing the semifinal between the USA and Sweden during my 2 hour trainer session. The game was a nail biter to the end with Sweden finally taking it in a shootout to topple the US hockey domination over European nations 3-2. This is the first time Sweden has beat the US in international competition and finally we get to see the blue and yellow in the final. I have to say a huge day for women's hockey, for sport and for the future of the Olympic games!
On a sidenote Norway is continuing the medal domination with 13 medals even with disappointing performances in speed skating and xc skiing. Canada has really picked up the pace at 11 medals. Many Canadian medals are coming in new or relatively new Olympic sports which is important for future sport development in Canada. Good stuff!
Also please note a new feature starting on pdotproductions! I messed with some HTML and have created the Hot or Not section on the bottom right side of the page. I am pretty proud of myself for figuring it out as I am not in the possession of ANY real computer skills. Check it weekly for what I think is hot or not so hot on everything and anything I come across.

Hey Per, nice blog.
Norway is really bitting the big on in XC these games. 5th in the mens relay is worse than Canada loosing to the Swiss in hockey. That is what all the talk is around the skiing circles at least. Their only saving grace was Frode Estil's amazing performance in the opening race to claim the silver (after breaking a ski and two poles!). He's my hero.
See you on the way to university.
