Mr. Olympian


My little brother, Niklas, has made the Swedish Olympic Team and will be competing in the discus competition in Beijing this next month. How dang awesome is that?! Nik has worked so hard training for this summer and has endured a lot of injuries and other problems. Nik has competed all over Europe already this summer. He's gone to Poland, Turkey, Estonia, Denmark, and of course, Sweden. He's going to compete with the best of the best this summer. To us, he is the best of the best and we are so proud of him. Good luck Niklas! We'll be cheering you on from out here :)

Wow! This is great news. I've got to call your mom. We were just talking about it on Sunday. Hope we get to see him a bit on TV. This is so exciting! He is such a great example for young men to follow. I knew one day he would be famous, so I get a hug from him whenever I can get it.

Interesting that he will be on the Swedish team on not the US, but still way cool.
