So what part sport represent in your life? Are there any atheletes out there?? Anyone whaching sport, live, from tv?? What sports do you follow most dearly??

I like to have some sort of picture from you foreingers of how big thing sports are in elsewhere. Here in finland its a big thing, Olympic winners and corresponding fame makes one a true national hero and to me its the only aspect of nationalism that i can whitstand...

I myself practice sport-shooting whit .22LR smallbore rifles and airrifle. (im going to post a pic of my weapons when i get hands on our family digi-cam again). Im not high ranking, but i regularry atend in national games and including the finnish championship games and finnish reserve organization games and i have few team-medals from those games...

but as armchair spectactor i tend to follow most atleathics in summertime and nordic skiing, ice-hokcey, ski-jumping during wintertime...and of course Formula 1 and Rally world cup...so basicly everything were finns have gained succes...
At this moment, ski-jumping is the number one, as Torino approaches and we have lots of payback to gain from the past years when overal finnish sportsucces has been rather lame...
So we have few german and norvegian members so i would like to ask how much you guys follow winter sports and do you american majority even know of these sports?

but be free and post anything about sports you want here

World Junior Hockey Championship Canada vs. Russia right now in GM Place, Vancouver, BC. wonder who would win, most likely Canada... again. i don't know if this is the final game or something but everyone's getting crazy for it.

UPDATE: Canada won with 5-0 over Russia
and Finland won bronze with 4-2 over US <-- be proud, Goll.
