Magnus Carlsen has won the world championship in chess. Norway swiftly goes mental; NRK cancels a showing of cross-country skiing to celebrate.

Does of the resident Norwegian have a video link with commentary? One of my favourite Norwegian things is Norwegian commentators when they win.

Indeed, who could forget:

The way the Danish media is hyping Kevin Magnussen he can only end up failing spectacularly, perhaps even going off track in the first lap in Australia.

So a podium finish in his first race, and with Ricciardo disqualified he gets the 2nd position. Not bad.

Now the hype can truly commence.

Damn, the organisers show give him a single wildcard (with Gaelic fair, draw up a special rule on the spot)

Riis offered Froome a contract in 2011, but Froome declined because for the contract talks Riis had invited him and his father to a night club. :lol:

Read that it's been 30 some years since the last Triple Crown winner, but before that there was a Triple Crown in four out of the five preceding years.

They should now make the same offer to Bradley Wiggins, Id bet he'd be up for it.

Good luck California Chrome. :cool:

What a stupid sport. I had about the same level of excitement as when I watch the beer brats race between innings in Milwaukee. 2.5 minutes is too long, imo.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Kentucky has had many things to distinguish it in sports. Kentucky basketball, Howard Schnellenberger, Bear Bryant, and Jared Lorenzen. It really doesn't need to leave the human species to find an identity.

I'm not disparaging the Kentucky Derby, btw, which from what I understand is a hell of a party.
