Well, that was a bit of a shit show. :lol: TicketBastard wasn't much better than Ticket Portal, I suspect, changed languages to Czech mid order, got a bunch of different error messages, and had to pay for each ticket separately, but at least I have my 6 tickets now. All of them in the lower bowl...

I totally dropped the ball on the presale, we'll see where I end up on Thursday. I'll try getting single tickets for the first time ever, since I always skip the gala and this time I think I'll prioritise seeing Prague over the pairs and women's sp, so it'll save me a little €€

An article from SVT about Majorov's switch to ice dance: https://www.svt.se/sport/konstakning/nikolaj-majorov-byter-disciplin-satsar-pa-isdans It doesn't really say much more than his IG post, but in short: Due to his back injury he's switching discipline (it was that or retire). He's always...

This seems absolutely nuts. So there'll be doctors for everything except nutrition??

I did not realize just how badly she got hurt last year. :yikes: Pair skaters are tough as nails!

A note on the machine translation, "care" in this case is short "medical care", so medical staff actually said "Get treatment? But you're not skeletal" when she was looking for help. ?

Malmö would be nice! After missing out on going last year when it was in my hometown. Prague might be nice at that time of year though (not to mention cheaper for most people).

I doubt the lab techs can work from home, so if enough of them were out with symptoms, or stuck in quarantine because one of their family members were (or they met someone with the crud), I can easily see how they might not have met the deadline (I think the Guardian said it's usually 20 days...

That makes sense as Sweden was a little late with Omicron and the worst wave started hitting right after the xmas holidays.

Whereas I think the SOK are too harsh with the criteria. Taljegård and Majorov might not go on to place more than top 15 in the world, but to have skaters at the Olympics means a lot for the growth of the sport. I think Taljegård in particular would be a great draw for kids to try out skating...

Majorov is hoping he'll get in on that criteria, the other option is to score as many points as Semenenko did at Worlds, since the Swedish Olympic Committee's other criteria is "At least 8th place at Worlds, or achieving the same points at another competition". Taljegård didn't think that it...

The current suggestion from the Swedish health ministry is max 500 people and 1 meter between them to start out with, and revise this as we see how the pandemic goes during the autumn.

I found my old etickets, and I was in A9 row 3. I think row 4 would've been fine, and I'm also short (160 cm/5'3), so it might be less of a problem for taller people (probably estimated for the average Swedish male at 180 cm or so)

Yeah, they think they'll reach some kind of new limit by October 1st. The general guidelines says 2 m distance, so that'd mean they'd have to leave every other row empty, and keep empty seats between parties, but I also think it depends a lot on whether there's a vaccine etc Sweden has had the...

Looks like they've closed off the uppermost tier again (which is probably a good thing). I think I was in A26 for Euros, and got a damned guardrail right in my line of vision. :lol: 12600 is a bit steep, I guess that is what I'll go for since I don't have to pay for travel and housing. When I...
