[Muhler]

That's great.

The Greenlanders will certainly appreciate this.

[polyesco]

Agree. Plus a great concept of the Arctic countries coming together

The host are certainly happy for his support
"Crown Prince Frederik has agreed to be patron of the Arctic Winter Games. His Royal Highness adds international appeal and experience to the event

Mayor Asii Chemnitz Narup (IA), is thrilled that Crown Prince Frederik is the patron of the big event in her municipality:

- It is huge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed to be patron of the Arctic Winter Games in 2016 in Nuuk. This underlines and reinforces the close ties between Denmark and Greenland and shows Crown Prince's great love and strong attachment to Greenland."

BB writes that Frederik is not expected to take an active part in the games:

He will be a spectator and hand out medals.

- Haven't looked at the calendar. I wonder if Mary and/or some of his children will join him for a couple of days? They will appreciate that in Greenland.

[polyesco]

That would be fantastic
Im sure Greenland would be very happy to have the CP family back, as they are very excited for Frederik.
The games take place from March 6 to 11, not sure if its a spring holiday for Danish children?

Too early for Easter and too late for the Winter Holiday.

"Anders Lassen Foundation also distributed four scholarships to soldiers accident Battalion of the Regiment, which in 2014 was deployed to Afghanistan. During an offensive in 2014 in Afghanistan, showed the four scholarship recipients resourcefulness and initiative that the Foundation has chosen to appreciate.

Crown Prince Fredertik laid at the ceremony not not hide the fact that he was impressed by the scholarship recipients' bravery. Their efforts during the attack were subsequently praised by an American major general. He explained that efforts had saved a lot of people that day, though the attack killed an American major general life."

Thanks, Polyesco.

So they finally got the snow they needed. - But couldn't the weather gods deliver the snow spread out over a period, rather than all of it at the same time?!?

Guess Pingo may have to do without his family a day or two extra.

Thanks Polyesco and Muhler

Yes, here Sunday morning, Crown Prince Frederik and several hundreds of athletes are still stranded in Kangerlussuaq due to the bad weather in Nuuk.

BB has a few details.

According to this article, Frederik (and presumably Mary as well) touched down in Denmark early Friday morning after having returned from Qatar.
He left for Greenland onboard a Hercules transport later Friday. (Presumably including a pit-stop on Iceland).

[Roskilde]

Crown Prince Frederik (the official patron of Arctic Winter Games 2016) has now landed in Nuuk After a day delay where he was stranded in Kangerlussuaq due to the bad weather in Nuuk.

Great pictures of Frederik arriving and being greeted of Kim Kielsen, Premier of Greenland, who Frederik seems to be pretty friendly with:

In case you should be in doubts (which you certainly not should) Frederik is a BIG SUPERSTAR also in Greenland and they adore him. Just check the country's largest newspaper Sermitsiaq.AG where there is 'Frederik' all over place and they covers his arrivial and visit like it was a huge official visit. I like that.

[Muhler]

Thanks, Roskilde.

Frederik knows Kim Nielsen very well. IIRC from his time at the Sirius Expedition. He is also mentioned somewhere in the thread about M&F and children visiting Greenland.

[Roskilde]

He spent two nights in Kangerlussuaq. He was supposed to arrive in Nuuk Friday evening and had a private programme for Saturday, but had to stay in Kangerlussuaq.

Love his commitment not only to the games but to the people of Greenland , especially the youth.
