det der er muligens et av de kuleste tv-programmene ever. sykt fett at du ikke blunker i løpet av hele rennet!

Jag såg ditt program svt play idag. Vilken fantastisk prestation du har gjort! Väldigt intressant att se hur man kan spränga gränser! Lycka till vidare i din karriär!

Väldigt intressant att se dokumentären på SVT. Otroligt fascinerande att se hur du kan fokusera och styra din rädsla. Imponerande. Aldrig förr har neurologi-undervisning varit så spännande :-) All mulig lykke til i OL!

@Dear Watson: the Times Of Silence begin on Feb 4th, that is today so the hours of conspiracy shall begin soon. I am really curious of what shall we expect and what kind of events would be thrown at us to handle. If the situation becomes drastic I will be hidden in the Mighty Cupcakes' Queen Kitchen, if you know what I mean. Drinking non-alcoholic beverages (ready to drive those cars if we need to go for a roadtrip) and Atos, Portos and Aramis will be with me, together with Uncle Charlie, they all too support the Elfs' power. Staying tuned. Holmes. (Roger, why Roger, have I missed something or just simply did not get it?;-)

On the topic: thanks for the link to the Miracle Body in Swedish TV. Unfortunately I cannot watch it. maybe later it will be shown somewhere else. I am sure, we will have plenty to watch now as the Secret Event approaches the other websites should have plenty materials (of course limited to countries' teritorries), besides from the athletes' websites and blogs,Talk about the irony and logic here. LOL

@SaBine Oh yes, but not just a bit different... it's a ghastly translation! That could be the result, if I would try to translate it! ;p)

Here's a sample of that half google translation...

"Norwegens größtes Olympische Hoffnungen im alpinen, Aksel Lund Svindal hat sich in eine einzigartige Forschungs-Projekt beteiligt waren. I laboratoriet og under utforkjøring er det minste fysiske og mentale utslag blitt målt og kartlagt hos nordmannen. In dem Labor, und die Abfahrt ist das Mindeste, physische und psychische Wirkungen wurden vermessen und kartiert in den nördlichen Menschen..." Cute the last two words.

Come on Aksel, du "größtes Olympisches Hoffnungen [größte olympische Hoffnung]", "nördlicher Mensch" [nordischer/skandinavischer Mann/Skandinavier]", you can't expect us to put up with that! ;p)

@ Angie: You are right - the human body is a fascinating mystery. It`s amazing how everything works together; bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, vessels, vital organs and the human brain...

@ CamE: You are also right - gee, I agree with all of you today :) Aksel, we have always thought that you have a brain like no other, but now it`s documented which is good, though.

And, a great support to the Haiti-victims:

04. Feb 03:08 - CamE said:

:D I´ve been waiting for those results.
Reading Aftenposten online made my science fixated mind SO excited!! :))
I can´t wait to watch the whole thing on SVT!!

I´m wondering what it might do to your ego hearing and reading about your astonishing abilities regarding mental and physical strength ;)))
I had a brain scan a few years back, and I still think I´m fab ;)))
I think it is excellent timing tho´!! Xtra confidence for the Olympics and a psychological advantage is going to get you on top of that podium!!

I can´t wait!!! *wishing I was there with the rest of the regulars "in here"* to see you race hahaha...
That would be quite an experience!! ;)) ..and I mean that in the nicest possible way! Muuahh ;-*

Btw, we allways knew you were SUPERMAN anyway, Aksel!! ;)

04. Feb 01:19 - Muckl said:

I am fascinated by science in general. Our body is such a freaky machine. I understand the biochemical and genetic process behind but hard to imagine that each cell knows exactly what it has to do-just incredible.
I am not sure if it is good to analyze everything but on the other hand you will not gain new knowledge if you dont do it.

@twitter: amazing sum, thx for the support.

@switzerland: once ordered salad; got a really fresh one-snail included!

04. Feb 00:45 - pipi ;p) said:

...
@Askel Have a brilliant idea! You can translate that article in short words, that's for sure a challange! Would you do that for us non-norwegian-speaking-and-understanding-less well-off-poor in spirit-virtual-provokateurs? Please! Hope you have no more essential things to do!? ;p)

04. Feb 00:33 - Muckl said:

@- trailer still not working? You already installed the plug-in, right? Additional install real player. Restart your computer. Voilà.

04. Feb 00:32 - pipi (who's a bit jolly ;p))) said:

@Sofi Thanks. It's a norwegian article. That could be a problem, 'cause I understand just a bit of that language. Is there an article in english anywhere?

@A. I'm no technician. I'm more the arts scholar and psychoanaylist in the sports sciences and a gymnastics and yoga practicioner. ;p) Think, these measurements are nothing for me, although it sounds interesting and looks sexy, with such a model! :p)) ups, cancel the last 6 words p;) I'm just jolly! Had a nice evening with 2, no 3 young fellows...

scary: just another month an the season is over already!!! time is passing too fast !

03. Feb 23:28 - Angie said:

@Tony; I definetly agree with you, this kind of research is very interesting. I would also like to know more about the muscle forces when skiing, and the biomechanical aspect regarding knee motion kinetics and kinematics. The (miracle) human body is a fascinating mystery :-)

@The Miracle Body Himself: all honours to you and your co-athletes for the great initiative and support to the Haiti-victims:-) Well done!

03. Feb 22:22 - NorwegianFlyGirl said:

Regarding 'Miracle Body' the television documentary shown on Swedish television SVT2. It was revealed that Aksel had high information processing, and that he only winked once during the race. This is the same as fighterpilot-recruits are tested for, and means that they must have a special three-dimensional vision to pass through. It should be noted that having this gift is quite rare and it's only given to some of us. There are only approx. 5% of Norway's population that has this brain and the ability to be fighterpilots, so Aksel would be a strong candidate to the Air Force. Maybe something to think about when to retire from the downhill ;) Hihi

Miracle body on SVTplay:
http://svtplay.se/t/102814/vetenskapens_varld

Don't think it works outside Sweden though and the narrative is done in swedish.

03. Feb 19:35 - Tony said:

Shit, is it really more than four months ago you introduced the Miracle body? The time runs so fast! However, I had to take a look back to the September posts, and damn! so smart we were at that time... How on earth were we able to make so many intellectual comments? Gee, we seemed to be more than average interested in this stuff, hehe :)

However, I`m still fascinated in this kind of research, seriously. @ Pipi, I agree that not all things have to be analyzed and are meant to be explained by scientists, but I support that part of our knowledge has to be evidence based. And, I`m still exciting about the results regarding muscle forces during skiing...

03. Feb 18:57 - angyal said:

I really don't know what's wrong with my laptop. I get a dark pic of Aksel's head and then it jumps to that green computer skier and stays there.
Luckily my PC id nicer and shows me the whole vid.

Great trailer! I really hope it's getting broadcasted in either English or German.

@Sofi: Thanks for all your information, that's impressive...

I tried to translate the article in german over google... hm, it's a little bit a different translation, but at least I understood a little bit more than in norwegian;-)

One blink of the eye. That sounds a bit painful to be honest, but then again i ve experienced that under full concentration you switch off some regular body sytems (and dont anyone dare mistake that now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) without noticing yourself really.
As long as he wears goggles doing that! haha

@muckl : would love to see that trailer, but can't get this plugin work neither !

---

03. Feb 15:11 - justi said:

I use Mozilla - just downloaded Real Player to see the Miracle Body trailer and it works! Try, angyal! ;)

---

03. Feb 14:52 - Muckl said:

@angyal: hm, strange :/ did you also try another browser? IE, Opera, Safari, Mozilla-that could probably help too. Otherwise mmh, yes try a second one :-)

---

03. Feb 14:48 - angyal said:

@Muckl I've already tried that. And it's still not working.
I'll try another PC later^^

---

03. Feb 14:30 - Muckl said:

@angyal: install the plug-in. If its not working, install real-player and copy/paste the link afterwards to the player. Finally that should work.

The journalists always write articles like this before the great event. Why? Why are they putting too much pressure on the racer? I don?t think it helps them.

03. Feb 13:32 - Slovenian girl said:

@angyal that's what often happens to me, so this time I'm lucky that works fine by me, can't help, maybe you should try to find trailer step by step on these www.ebu.ch site (eurovisonTV/ science&education) not from a copy link... but I'm far away form knowing such "tehnical" topics, hehe...

@Switzerland that's a good on! Nearly half a year ago (maybe a bit later) also something like this happened at our country, there was a blackbeetle in the glass of red beet or pepper (not sure)! But "poor guy" already drown in juice of red beet or pepper in contarst to that forg.
Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are gonna get! :-) 'bon appétit!' hehe

03. Feb 13:11 - Christin said:

Wow! Watched the trailer and it is awesome! I also love those slow mo stuff! It's really interesting to see how everything's moving. They had a super slow mo in last MotoGP's season. It was great.
Hopefully they will show it here pretty soon. Would be really interesting to see what came out of this. Things like that could really help to improve different parts. Just read an article in our local newspaper about new technologies to help athletes. Our university has a project on the bob of Andre Lange.
Did they tell you, Aksel, the results they found out in your case? Did it help you in any case?

Btw: Underwear pics are always more than welcomed! ;-)

---

03. Feb 13:07 - Milla said:

@Twitter: Well done!!!!

Ah yes.... The greenish underwear! How could I forget? You are too kind to post that photo again hun! ;-)

I saw the documentary, it was AWESOME! I especially liked the part where they had a camera installed inside your goggles and filmed you while you were racing. Dude, you blinked once?! In what, 2 minutes? (for the record I think I'd probably have my eyes closed the entire time! But that's just me!) And the brain scan part was really interesting! You seem to have some kind of super-hero-like brain function. Who knew, huh? (I kid, I kid;-))

I think I might have to see it again on Saturday. For purely scientific reasons of course :-)

---

03. Feb 12:32 - Switzerland said:

Miracle Body, really very interesting research! Hope we can read more about it!

A little story appropriate to lunchtime. This morning i have read the following:
A woman has bought a salad so in a bag. At home she's open the bag and inside was a livelier frog...!!!! It was a French Greenbach and nobody knows how he's coming to Switzerland in a salad bag. HAHAHA
So looks just your salat's before you eat :-)

---

03. Feb 12:29 - angyal said:

So all of you can watch the trailer without problems?
I only get the sound. The vid's not moving at all...

---

03. Feb 12:19 - Slovenian girl said:

Excellent, we didn't get a pyjama photo, even better, here's an underwear photo, hehe :-) well done :-) It looks a little scary to me to see all these wires on your body, isn't it ticklish?! haha! but as already others said I look forward to see these miracle body show! btw thanks for trailer, I always enjoy watching slowmotions, where you can see a lot of details that during fast run downhill can't be caught to see it. It's really amazing what a human body is capable of and how good it can hold on with such speeds!

not to forget, amazing job with raising such amount of money for Haiti! Just great!

03. Feb 12:01 - m said:

@ pipi I agree with you

---

03. Feb 11:59 - A. said:

@Sofi: thanks, that's a bit freaky, but at the same time: woooow!!! impressive. It is probably the weirdest thing I learned this week, but wow!!! Viking-Eyes-High-Five!

@Pipi: I think it can be all combined - I agree with you about the intuitive stuff, movements etc, but the analysis of those can be interesting too, if you know what I mean. Like analysing intuitive movements and seeing how it all works.

ok, end of posting for today, tons of work. CU

---

03. Feb 11:50 - Sofi said:

@A. According to the article, Aksel raced the downhill course and only blinked with his eyes ones! And the course lasted for 1 min. and 15 seconds! When he crossed the finish line, he started blinking normally.One of his eyes was filmed during the downhill course.

---

03. Feb 11:44 - A. said:

@Sofi: thanks for info, that sounds indeed intriguing, I really want to see this documentary now!

So, basically, what was discovered was that Aksel skis downhill course literally, within the blink of an eye? ;-) Like ONE blink for the whole course???

@Angie: Thx for the article. It's really interesting and for us who didn't see the document it's good opportunity to get some new info ;)

For others who doesn't understand Norwegian - you could copy the link of article and insert it on google search - then you must only click on translate this site and you have it in your language ;)

03. Feb 11:27 - Sofi said:

@SaBine.Very interesting and unigue research project that Aksel has had the opportunuity to be the great participant. When Aksel raced the downhill course in great speed(as usual), he only blinked with his eyes ones!As soon as he crossed the finish line, he blinked normally.This shows that he qualities to gather information all the time.In this resarch they also exposed Aksel for the great stress by showing the accident in Beaver Creek and analyzing his reactions and how he managed to use different parts of his brain to defeat his fear.Aksel has the great capability to handle much information in short time. I am impressed by this uniqe guy!He is a Winner in many fields.

03. Feb 11:25 - pipi (the holistic-thinking-one, who never will understand the analyzing guys!?) said:

@Sofi What's the link of that article? Have to read it.

@Aksel Baddie, distracted and dazzeled some of the dearest sweethearts here once again!
I don't really trust in such measurements, I'm not a natural scientist and never want to be one, who's convinced, that all things have to be analyzed or are meant to be to explained. I belong to the other fraction, who are not convinced of the human-as-a-machine-model! ;p) I always have to smile a bit about it, because it looks like a little plaything for grown-ups. That is it what natural scientists (have to) do - it's a typical pattern -, otherwise they have nothing to live and to believe for. ;p) I think, it's much better to listen to your body and it's movements, you'll understand, what you and your body are doing and feeling and how you can improve that cooperation and coordination with material and surrounding conditions, that's a complicated unexplainable holistic interplay of forces you never can scale. ;p) But I think most *men are made for ordinary scaling* :p))

ouw akselito, is not that such an advantageous photo! these pants .... what a sexkiller :-) but respectable for the donation receipts for haiti! have fun & take care

03. Feb 11:08 - Angie said:

Cool! I look forward to seeing your Miracle Body scientific experiment :-)

There is an article about it in Aftenposten today.
...and for those who don`t understand Norwegian, there is still a good picture to take a look at ;-)

saw the twitter infor about the money, wow, awesome!

03. Feb 10:09 - A. said:

ok, that's the border line here - if we would be able to produce the same amount of posts (over 100, I just checked) under the blog entry with the same picture and regarding the same topic as over 4 months ago, I will start to worry LOL

have no idea how to watch Swedish TV outside Sweden online, will have to wait till others will show it, but the trailer is online already, it looks fantabulous (I am a big fan of slow-mo pics in general, almost everything looks cool in slow-mo. In times of need of entertainment I always check the slow-mo water baloons in youtube, very relaxing).

http://www.ebu.ch/en/eurovisiontv/science_education/miracle_body_trailer.php

@Dear Watson: the times are indeed not the easiest for those willing to act in conspiracy. The tests to verify the identities are a brilliant idea of yours, but they have to be carefully planned to bring credible results. I am still processing it and will keep you informed in case of the birth of any useful idea.

coming back to the topic: it would be fantastic to see the documentary, for the scientific reasons, of course LOL

No no, that's a very nice picture, Dahlin', and you look extremely handsome with all the wires attached. (sorry! I tried saying that with a straight face, I really did!)

Good job on the Haiti fundraising! (btw, there's a typo in the numbers.) Y'all should be very proud of yourself.

forgot to say also:

Wow on the Haiti project. Gives me goosebumps all the time reading about such great results! That 's a lot of money , well done to everyone participating! I also have to say though, that i have so very much respect for the peolple helping on site, it s an incredible achievement they are bringing up there, especially under the dangerous and corrupt circumstances there.

i know - totally off topic, but it had to be said.

03. Feb 08:59 - christiane said:

@ A - Re last blog: damn, this is gettin complicate now! Meet in a secret place... but we cant make it a secret because we can only arrange it here, in public being spied on again. Hm. We have to meet in real life. oh no, that s stupid also, there ll be ten people coming up saying "I am the famous "A" , have you got the papers on you?" oh no oh no. I mean, me and myself can be proved to be real by doing a carparking in record time - test.
We need a proper plan here man!

Lokking forward to see "The miracle body". Read online Aftenposten last night that the result from this project were amazing and that Aksel showed special qualitiies, compared with among other a lso a canadian skier.In short Aksel showed qualities which revals that his brain functions fantasticly.

no, seriously, should be very very cool when we can finally watch it!

03. Feb 08:46 - Mira said:

Well, thanks to remember us, but as Andie said, we will wait for it on Eurosport or any other programme, that can be seen in Central Europe.
I am sure it is very interesting research!

03. Feb 08:10 - Andie said:

Right...the infamous underwear picture...how could we forget about that?! ;-))
No, seriously, I'd love to watch that, but I guess I'll have to wait till it airs on Eurosport or till it's available on YouTube. But thanks for the heads up - I will be on the lookout for it. I'm sure it's pretty amazing. :)
