Here is a link to a dansh news update site.

Forside - dr.dk/NETTV/Update

Unless the site has just been updated since this post was made - you have to scroll down to clip no. 3 which is an interview with the dressage team and Princess Benedikte.

Clip no.27 shows Constantine giving Princess Nathalie the medal.

When I try to open it I see this:

I think Federer is still in contention with a doubles match. I hope he wins.

I didn't know it was limited that way. I have tryed to copi the clips in order to post them here - but that isn't possible either though I have done so with clips before. Why they have changed this I don't know:bang:

The rights to the Olympic broadcasts have been limited so it can mostly just be seen in the country of origin, unless people have the actual physical channels in their tv package. :flowers:
 
Ok - thanks for your reply Norwegianne:flowers:

t's one of those eternal agnency-mistakes. They just love to add the former surnames of the Royal Ladies.
Like Princess Letizia Ortiz, Crown Princess Mary Donaldson or Queen Sonja Haraldsen.
Probably they want people to realize directly that the person is a born commoner. Who knows... :whistling:[/quote]
in the Spanish (and latinamerican) tradition women don't change their name when they marry. They keep their last names forever, they only change their title and if they want they add their husband's name to their own

I´m sure it was painful for Inaki - Spain lost.
I admire all the spanish royals for wearing the clothes of team Spain while supporting their athletes.
 
Wow I just saw royals at the olympics on my tv for the first time! The Infanta and the Queen were at the velodrome tonight. They were with someone else but I didnt see who, was too focused on the women!!! :)
 
Saw that too Marmi and weren't they ecstatic over the victory.

I expect Iñaki was just itching to get up there and play! Sofia seemed to be having a great time.

It'll be Gonzalez vs Blake and Djokovic vs Nadal. ;)

Blake should've won, because the ball clearly hit Gonzalez's racket before bouncing out! But G didn't own-up to it and the Ref wouldn't change his call. NBCOlympics.com - Blake loses shot at gold Then he lost his Bronze medal match. http://www.nbcolympics.com/tennis/news/newsid=223242.html#djokovic+bests+blake+bronze I wouldn't hold it against Blake if his heart just wasn't in it for that game.

NBCOlympics.com - Shooter fails doping test; U.S. gets bronze
I heard a quick blip about this on the news and went to my Dad who shoots. I was wondering what exactly one would take drug-wise that could possible give you an advantage in Shooting! Of all the sports one could cheat at with drug use, SHOOTING?!:ohmy:


I'll be glad when NBC leaves the Water Cube. They've spent so much time there I'm starting to get sea-sick!

The individual Grand Prix Special is just over and Princess Nathalie and Digby are qualified for the individual final on Tuesday, the Grand Prix Kür where she will ride to music from "West Side Story" :D They are currently on 12th place, again the best Danes.

A little earlier today, also evening time in China, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia watched Thomas Johansson and Simon Aspelin take the silver medal while Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka and Roger Federer took the gold in the men's double tennis.

Usain Bolt was just unbelievable at the men´s 100 hundred meters - new brilliant world record even though he started celebrating already while he was running.

I like to watch sport a lot, so olympics are royal time to me. I like especially athletics, tennis, gymnastics and rowing. At these olympics I have noticed that shooting can be very exciting, I have been watching a lot of shooting competitions.
