La Clasica Primavera
http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/milan-san-remo-2015

I can see it here!
Well read the live coverage:)

14:15:23 CET Tinkoff-Saxo and Lampre-Merida have joined the pace-setting at the front of the bunch. Lampre have the last Italian winner of Milan-San Remo, Filippo Pozzato, in their ranks, as well as young hopeful Davide Cimolai, who won the Trofeo Laigueglia on his last visit to Liguria and also claimed a stage win at Paris-Nice. In the absence of Sacha Modolo, Cimolai will be Lampre's option in a sprint, while Pozzato will surely be delegated to try and track the moves over the top of the Poggio.

14:08:27 CET 134km remaining from 293km
The average speed was 43kph after three hours of racing and the intensity is beginning to ratchet up another notch or so in the peloton. As the break heads towards Arenzano, their lead is down to 4:47.

All the world's bicycle extremists can now relax - Biker Krystian Herba has climbed perhaps the ultimate up the hill; super skyscraper Taipei 101 in Taiwan.
To beat his previous world record the Pole Herba additionally had to take two laps as the stairs to the over 500 meter high building. First, he cycled from ground level to level 60, then lift down, and finally a bike ride uphill all the steps to the level 91.

This Sunday bike ride was over 3139 steps, which the company Guinness approve is a new world record. The bike ride took a total of 2 hours and 13 minutes.
- The first 50 floors I did not feel strong enough, says 33-year-old Herba.
- I felt a little stressed. But then I regained forces.

I saw Tina on tears in TV. But she is a strong girl and maybe this defeat will make her abandon the idea of leaving the races. Kudos to Nadia Fanchini, best timing in second stage of giant slalom and to Marta Bassino, a promising youngster, fourth in the first stage. And kudos to Giuliano Razzoli, an Olympics winner,silver medal in slalom.

According to Pernilla Wiberg, former alpine skier and who met the Italian team, they have a very strong team and promising skiers.
A generation shift perhaps.

About Norway and Pernilla Wiberg and going back home from Monaco.
- My husband is Norwegian, and they're quite patriotic so I do not know. Therefore, perhaps it is good that we live on neutral ground in Monaco, haha :)

There is not much we in Italy know about Sweden,besides the Nobel Prizes, Ikea, the ship Vasa and the Vasaloppet.There was a movie with Alberto Sordi depicting the Italian ignorance of Sweden and its people, maybe "Il diavolo". A few people know Cristina di Svezia.I remember reading a book "Kristin daughter of Lawrans", but I don't remember its author. Or was it about Norway?

Queen Kristina is buried in the St. Peter's Basilica near the entrance.
If I remember right there is a plaque on the first column near the statue Pieta.
She converted to Catolisism and left Sweden for Rome.

However Swedish football players a lot of Italians know about.
Even more than we swedes:)
Grenoli, Zlatan, Nacka Skoglund, Glenn Strömberg have all been in playing Italy
Glenn Strömberg can speak very good Italian.
Gunnar Nordahl, Il Cannoniere / Il Pompiere / Il Bisonte

When I was at the flee market in Rome one of sellers said:
"Ah Sweden, Sven-Göran Eriksson" I had know idea of what he talked about.
Later I learned this.
"Svennis" trained a number of major European clubs including AS Roma and SS Lazio. He has also captained Englands fotball team.

"Kristin, figlia di Lavrans" is a fiction book from Norway:)

A. Sordi in "Il Diavolo" - Il Viaggio (1963).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF9eTHT6CRs
Quando ho sentito per la prima volta la frase del fisico tedesco in questo film: un Paese civile, che non fa una guerra da più di 150 anni, ho pensato subito di visitare la Svezia. Ho già visitato Stoccolma due volte, e forse ritornerò quest'estate.

In Italy? Just kidding.
I know some. Nicklas Lidström, Börje Salming and Mats "Sudden" Sundin.
Where did they play?
Nicklas in one country, the others in a other country.

Nicklas Lidström
Duh. Do we need say anymore? OK, we will but keep this one brief because, well, it's happening without any question.
Lidström is one of the very best defensemen to ever play the game. In 1,564 career games, all with the Red Wings, Lidström finished with 1,142 points. He appeared in 11 All-Star Games throughout his career, won the Norris Trophy a record seven times including three straight years on two occasions and also won the 2002 Conn Smythe Trophy all while hoisting the Stanley Cup four times. This is as big of a lock as you'll ever see.

I saw Börje Salming playing his last performance in Stockholm 1989 in the Hockey World Championships when we met the US.
And this of course:
Kent "Kenta"/"Mr. Magic" Nilsson with a great deke and goal.

I agree with all of that Janne, I was just trying to
kid around with you a little bit. The players you
mentioned are just some of the great hockey talent
that comes from Scandinavia.

Here it's football, hockey and skiing in that order.

btw Football is a sport where you use a ROUND BALL and use your FEETS hence it's name:)

Tullio

But Italy is a country where football is more important than religion.

You mean Gunnar Gren ”Il Professore”:)
And some more on Gunnar Nordahl.
He is considered one of the greatest players who ever played in the Italian league where he was the top scorer five times between 1950 and 1956 and made 226 goals in 235 matches.

It's perhaps too early to say Tullio. Most likely some mechanical failure.

Germanwings plane suddenly lost altitude before it crashed in the French Alps. One possible cause is the failure of the control system, according to aviation safety analyst Hans Kjäll. "This is similar to the Hercules crash in the Kebnekaise," he says.

The information about what really happened Germanwings plane en route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf is still scanty. The plane took off from Barcelona and was up at 11,000 meters elevation when it suddenly fell to 7000 meters altitude in six minutes, according to CNN.

It is still difficult to draw any conclusions about what might have caused the accident. But aviation safety analyst Hans Kjäll think it is remarkable that the Airbus plane suddenly lost altitude.
- This may indicate failure of the control system, such that the plane has got ice crystals in flight data sensors which was what happened to the Air France plane that crashed in the Atlantic in 2009, he says.
