Olympic Gold medal for the Netherlands!

[Popmartijn]

Hello,

I want to congratulate Marjorie van der Bunt with her gold medal at the Olympics in Salt Lake City. She was first in the biathlon, and that for a country that has hardly ever snow and almost no hills! I think she did a tremendous job, one of which I'm very proud.

Well done!

Marty

P.S. For those who are wondering if I'm not a bit late with this, please remember that there are still Olympic Games. Last Thursday the Paralympics started, for athletes with disabilities.

And more great news, she got a silver medal today, crosscountry.

Well... the Dutch do live in cages, beat their wives, have a lot of hair and speak in an incomprehensible language.

(for the record, only the language thing is true)

Was she one of the people who received a medal after the Russian skier was disqualified for drugs?

Congrats to her and all you Dutch who speak that incomprehensible language.

Nope. She won it all by herself last Thursday (and Sunday).

Congrats to her and all you Dutch who speak that incomprehensible language.

Bedankt!

Here is another update.
Marjorie won her third medal yesterday as she finished second in the 10km cross-country skiing. Way to go!
