The words from our winning Neighbour Alexander Rybak that set the tones during the Grand Eurovision, for once I agree the right song won!
Speaking of winning, this weekend I pulled off my speed skating skin and stepped into my weightlifting suit. It was time for the Swedish Weightlifting Championships.
Both are very much alike in their appearance, very thin fabric, tight, however behind the suit lays another world.
The weightlifting world vs. Speed skating world has both its own charms. Not only have the weights on the bar counted during competition day, also the weight on your body counts in as well…
It’s not an unfamiliar thing for me to be jumping and spitting around in an hot sauna before the official meeting with the weight scale that will determine my future of which category or points I will be dragged with.
Food? No, don’t even think about food before you stepped on the scale, after that crave as much as you want! That’s a golden rule!
The preparation for the competition it self also makes a difference, you focus, you drown yourself in magnesium to get that extra good grip on the bar, your name get’s called up. And the time set’s for 01.00 min and it’s time to pull some weights!
With a slam-dunk on the back from the coach, and some inspiring motivational words that will trigger that extra hunger to pull that massive peace of junk up it’s time to attack the bar! If one would like, you can sniff some ammoniac to get that extra trigger, in my case I rather skip that part…
Fairytale, ended with a shiny Gold medal. Our Ladies Team did a tremendous achievement, and won by far, just as Mr. Rybak.
