floorball world championship 2006: semifinals

finally here, next to the rink where estonia only minutes ago won the B-championship by beating hungary in the final. i’ll be taking photos of the semifinals and final.

so far, i’m more excited than i thought i’d be. the semifinal is about to begin.

edit: the czech rules! ok they lost, but they were game on until the end. still no chance of uploading pics though.

hört av fotograf efter halva tredje perioden av finland – schweiz: 

kyllä peik salminen on mun mielest tähän saakka ollut turnauksen paras suomalaispelaajaa!

YEAH!

— kinderna bränner efter 5-2 till finland. träffade en svettig peik efter matchen, han var fokuserad. nu tillbaka till lägret och imorgon gäller sverige. jag gillar kohonens kommentar om “sveriges svagheter”:

ja de är väl lite sämre än oss.

det känns också så skönt att få ta bilder men slippa stressen av att producera för deadline, det är bara för egen räkning jag är här. och jag NJUTER!

when hell finally freezes over

as oskar already pointed out, a joke has been around that when hell freezes over, finland wins the eurovision song contest. now that hell finally froze, anything can happen. and i don’t mean it in the sense that miracles are possible. hell no. think about how many people there must be that at some point in their life have said

yeah sure, i’ll do that – WHEN FINLAND WINS THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!

i already found one. mika ahonen, head coach of team finland in the floorball world championship – he always has a shaved head, but look at him now.

there must be a lot more! i want to write a book about all the silly promises finns have made “given that finland wins the esc”!
