A norwegian Long Track Sprint Team is now here in Calgary. They are here for a months training. Sara och Emma Andersson, two swedish Long Track skaters from Kristinehamns Club, are here for a longer period. It is nice to have some Scandinavians here at the Oval:)

Training here is good, can´t complain. I train hard and hopefully it will give me some good results in the close future. I will compete here in Calgary at the Oval next weekend, just before I head over to Salt Lake City for the first WC of the season. It will be fun to compete again:)

This week has been alot of new time rutins and jetleg for me. But i finally managed to take a picture at the oval. More pictures will be updated soon:)
I will try to get a picutre of the hole rink, but it can be alittle hard as i cant zoom out to much with my camera:) I´ll give it a try.
On the second picutre the Short Track rink is behind me (with the blue pads round the ice), to my left side is the Hockey rink (as you can´t see on this picutre). Outside of the two rinks is the Long track (with the gray pads round it).
