The Moment

Posted on 20. February 2010 07:45 - 267 comments

I know I have said this before, but I have to say it again. The moment when you have crossed the finish line and you see your name on the top of the list is bigger, better and stronger than anything else. I just got home from medal ceremony, interviews and celebration, and they’re all great. But the feeling I still feel now that I’m in bed trying to sleep is that feeling you have those ten seconds when you’re all by yourself knowing you did a great run and your leading the race. Unreal! Don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep…

Congratulations on your Olympic success... well deserved. I do love the special piece they did on you, your father and family... very sweet & tender. On a completely inappropriate side note, wish I was there massaging your feet while your thoughts were lost in the glorious excitement of your win. Soooo inappropriate, it's brilliant!
22. Feb 01:01 - Lisa said:
You're an amazing athelete, and you're also super HOT!! ;-) You've got a fan in Miami!

Av en eller annen grunn er det ikke veldig vanskelig å forstå at en konkurransemenneske setter følelsen av et bra renn foran utmerkelsen man får for å ha gjort et bra renn :-)

Gratulerer med vel gjennomført renn !

21. Feb 15:18 - Astrid said:
Aksel du bist der Grösste! Ich habe immer gesagt, Aksel ist an Olympia in Bestform wie das die norwegischen Skifahrer immer waren, fast niemand hat es geglaubt. Wenn du eine Medaille gewinnst, ist es für mich nicht so tragisch wenn kein Schweizer vorne ist. Seit Erik Haker sind ich und meine Kinder grosse Norwegen-Fans. Alles Gute für die nächsten Rennen, go for gold!
Grüsse aus der Schweiz!
21. Feb 14:07 - Lara said:
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Es fehlen einem die Worte, einfach nur grandios. Macht Spaß zuzusehen.
Alles gute für die Super-Kombi.
See you on TV

AKSEL I SALUTE YOU !
I wish I have met you before when I was still competing for Lebanon.
I did Salt Lake Olympics and met Kjetil Andre Amodt he hardly left any medals for the others!
I am looking forward for you to do so in Vancouver.
I like the fact that you enjoy and speak it, and NOT being so arrogant.
God bless you and I hope that you will NOT keep any gold for the other :)

Meget!!! :-)
20. Feb 22:26 - Vaffel said:
@a and angryal: Aksel's pants would fit both the jacket and the vest, especially at the same time! Overkilled? No, not al all..... It's like we say in Norwegian: Allting kler den smukke (everything suits the handsome ones)
20. Feb 22:24 - Johanna said:
Grattis till guldet - grymt åk! Även att jag är svensk kan vi unna "lillebror" guld ändå när det gäller så duktiga och sympatiska idrottare som du och Marit Björgen...

20. Feb 21:30 - angyal said:
@A. Someone else noticed. XD My first thought was "OMG! There are pants that fit those jackets!" But I think if you wear both at the same time, you'd look weird. Very weird.

@Christin I had to referee a game today. No time to watch olympics so far. But I'm really grateful that I missed commentary. Sobald ich tiefenentspannt höre ist es nämlich mit meiner Anspannung vorbei^^

20. Feb 21:21 - Cathrine said:
HIPP hurra for deg - kuli med gull. GRATTIS;0)
20. Feb 21:06 - Nicole said:

20. Feb 20:41 - Christin said:
The showed the Super G again today. And it was really really motivating to start a one hour cross trainer session with your run *hehe* Not good for my heart rate, but who cares.
Please do that tongue thing again! Very sexy and good for another discussion here ;-)

@angyal: did you see ZDF today? They also use our favorite word for Maria Riesch..."tiefenentspannt" *arg*
20. Feb 20:39 - Maria said:
Aksel, how did you sleep?:)
Did you get visit from the royal family or the alpine skiing is still in the shadow of cross-country skiing, biathlon... in Norway?
Good luck for tomorrow.
Great women's super G. Tina Maze was awesome!

Can you give us a good picture of the design on your helmet? I'm intrigued, but only get glimpses of it on tv coverage--very Viking.

Congratulations!! So happy for your win, Aksel!! Gold medal is "just size" for you!!
20. Feb 15:49 - A. (still impressed and wooow) said:
so many nice congratulations, it must be nice to read it!

I stayed awake too to watch the ceremony too, it was cool, yes Aksel was singing (not so loud as Manny in Kvitfjell though, but there was singing;-)

and to avoid false info's: I think what Bode said was "double-Aksel", after the race, btw quite funny. Triple-Aksel would be cool too, and quadruple-well, even the figure skaters don't do that, but who knows;-)

Bling-bling, have a nice weekend everyone, pretty exciting stuff going on tonight too, so enjoy it!

oh, and look at this, the PANTS! LOL I was thinking exactly the same thing, but about the jackets, that they would look cool with the curling pants, but I had no idea (until I saw Marius wearing them yesterday), that the Norwegian jackets are accompanied by the pants!!!

Hey Axl,

I´m so proud of you and your race yesterday. First I could´nt believe it, because I had a bet for a sixpack beer that you´ll get silver in downhill and gold in the super-g.
Also it´s so great, that your´e still normal and always happy and friendly with the journalists aso....
Your´e still great and "simply the best" (one of the girls from the fanclub made this video ) :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKIBhaj1pM&feature=fvsr

I wish you all the best for the upcoming races and that you´ll stay health and happy.

CONGRATULATIONS and CHAPEAU!!!

Når voksene menn får klump i halsen skjønner man at du har nok en gang gjort noe stort ,gjævlig fett .
og ikke minst se bode miller en smule oppgitt på sletta da du går i mål. vet ikke om du fikk med kommentaren til cuche men den var også veldig festlig ;han sa at han gledet seg til kjetil og kjusern slutta for da ble det enklere og vinne men så dukket du opp og gjorde jobben for begge to :) bare å kose seg nå

Gratulerer så mye! Jeg er mest imponert over at du greier å innfri forventningene - uansett hva Aamodt og de andre måtte mene om dine fabelaktige evner til å memorisere løypa, at dette er din beste gren og hva de nå enn sier... Det ER tross alt OL, sesongen din har vært litt opp og ned og, som man så ofte ser i de forskjellige grenene, er det ikke så enkelt å innfri som storfavoritt. Nå har du virkelig satt press på konkurrentene - og jeg regner med du er sulten på flere medaljer - skjønt det i mine øyne vil være en ren bonus. Du HAR allerede innfridd forhåpningene - og det eneste jeg ville ha ønsket for din del fremover - er å gå til topps i utfor, men det kommer i Russland om fire år. Jeg lover! ,o) Lykke til videre - håper å se deg på pallen et par ganger til før lekene er over!

Grøne helvete!!
Korleis er det mogeleg å gå frå 95% død, til det du har gjort dei siste dagane??
Same fan korleis det går i resten av OL, det du og Petra Maidic gjorde vil i mitt haud stå som det største i dette OL.

BTW: Den stafettpinnen du slengde vidare til gamle avdanka gubbar var jækla bra. Åmodt og Kjuus treng litt fornuftige ting å jobbe med før dei blir altfor feite og sløve. Alpint lagkonkurranse hadde vore tøfft!!

20. Feb 09:06 - Marius Kx said:
Aksel Lund Svindal, du e et skikkelig forbilde. For folk som har mediokert talent (i en annen sport enn alpint) så e du et stort forbilde, for å sjå at det går ant å bli best i verden sjøl om du e en liten person frå land(sbygda) Norge. Folk kan sei så mykjy dem vil om at vintersport e en marginal idrett, det e fortsatt like høgt nivå på toppen. Forskjellen e at det ikje e 4000 stk som pressa på rett under på det nivået. Svindal, du e verdens beste i din idrett, du e på høyde med landssymbol som Aamot, Dæhlie, whatever you want. Ikje p.g.a. medaljer, men determination. Den målbevisstheten du har vist ette Beaver Creek fallet e world class in itself. GRATULERER MED OL GULL!!! Måtte det bli mange flere. Marisu

Det er den som skiller oss gale "fans" fra dere som faktisk jobber hardt for prestasjonen.
