Re: Winter Sports

I used to watch it all the time while Janica Kostelic ruled the sport. She broke all the records and got tired of skiing and moved to sea town - Rijeka and opened a beauty salon. She was only 24 when she retired.
I really fell in love in Winter Sports during the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. My favorite was, surprise, surprise, Bojan Krizaj

Here`s the mascot from that 1984 Olympics- Vucko (Wolfie)

Nowadays, my favorite winter sport is Ice Hockey. Especially the Olympic tournaments

And I hope that,Exept Croatian skiers,for me the skier is Didier Cuche,I just love him,his style of skiing...and all Switzerland team exept Silvan Zurbrigen

 

[maminho]

We (Croatians)have just one slalom track,and we have the skier on top. Thats fenomenal

In ice hockey I am a fan of Slovakia
Ski jumping:Adam Malys and Andreas Kofler

 

[Barcaman]

I like Russia in ice-hockey. Although I must admit that Czechs did a great job in last few decades

 

[maminho]

I also like Russia in hockey

Swedish skiiers are the best Ingemar Stenmark!!

i remember the duells between Anja Paersson and Kostelic, they were great!

 

[Barcaman]

Exactly mate. What happened to Anja? I though she would kick ass when Kostelic left?

 

[mmandela]

I don't know =S I guess she has just been out of shape, that's all... her performances has been bad in quite a long time now... the latest was World Cup were she failed.

Hopefully it's just a dip... she'll be back next year... maybe she misses Kostelic They were good friends and pushed each other to perform better
