“Fell down from the scooter: It was really dramatically”
“today,” comments Jacob Hard Vasaloppet and femmilen”
“SEEFELD. A picklock, a binder, a ljudteknikers wife.”
“Jacob Hårds most dramatic moment during the world CUP sounds like something out of Jönssonligan.”
“– It was a fun drama, ” says SVT commentator.”
“the Mountaineers, Mount Everest. Jacob Hard, the Sunday, the third in march 2019. “
“We ran to catch up with the SVT commentator for the women’s tremil in Seefeld to talk about a skidkommentators most strenuous task. “
“well, it’s time again. Shamelessly fräsche 64-year-old to together with Anders Blomquist kura together in a three-square-feet cabin to comment on the first Race and then the men’s world CUP-femmil. Seven-eight hours of talking about the intermediate times, Eldris, Johnsrud Sundby, Oxberg, tjuvsläpp, clusters, Richardssons diagonalteknik and offshoots.”
“As in a rampant flock”
“Hu. How will his voice hold?”
“– It will clear itself. But it’s going to snow, so there is a risk that it will be a slow Round. Then races at each other, bang on femmilen, so the risk is that I lose kisspausen.”
“you Have an empty bottle ready?”
“– Well, no, but it is at the limit that you get to consider it.”
“What to eat and drink during races?”
“– if it Gets too tight, I hope that we get a food delivery to the cabin, for we cannot go away from and buy. I hope for a well timed food delivery and a small gap, but the most hope I have time to go on the mug. It is almost my biggest challenge.”
“If you listen carefully, will hear you talk with food in your mouth sometime?”
“– the Risk is absolute. I will take the opportunity when there will be interviews from the controls, then I’ll mule. Maybe I do not have time to swallow before I can speak again.”
“Jacob Fierce gesturing ostentatiously with his arms when he depicts a memory from a Round 30 years ago. “
“He was a reporter and was at the elitledet, therefore the riders at the front. The interviews were done, two minutes remained to the start and a scooter would drive him away from there. But they needed to turn to retrieve a microphone, so when the start small, they found themselves trapped in a runaway herd of elephants.”
“the Plan was not in the lock.”
” It was really dramatic. I slipped off the scooter and the driver grabbade hold of me. It was the skier on both sides of the us, they were 20 meters in front also, but we saw a free trail and gassed. It went way, but it was close.”
“Now-a-days is the stories quieter, they require no armvift, but they are not completely renons of the drama. “
” I forgot all my Vasaloppspapper at home. I just had the world CUP in the head. I have a whole binder of stuff that I go back to when I was making my preparations, but down here in Austria, I realized that it was not. I thought… fuck, ” he says.”
“the Folder was in a locked cabinet inside on the SVT editorial team in Stockholm. The key, Jacob had Hard to Seefeld. In order to solve the equation outlined a plan forward which included a homecoming rättighetschef and the interconnecting sound recordist Mike.”
” I gave the manager the key, but it was too tight with the time to leave over it, so on the job got someone from the verksamhetsservice come and do up the lock with a picklock. Ljudteknikernas wife works at the Swedish radio and took the binder home to Uppsala, where He got it and flew down with the hit. It has saved my preparation, ” says Jacob Hard.”
“– Not all that I hoped for, but above all it is the start lists and result lists for 30 years back in time. On the back of each list I write a story about how the race was. Offshoots, favorites, what happened.”
“In the middle of February, described the king Vasaloppet in a way that a period feltolkades as a cutting. Carl XVI Gustaf said that the race was ”dötråkigt, they just go and go and go”, but added that ”there is something under the surface that are always fascinating. Suddenly it becomes a tug somewhere, therefore you have to be there and have a look”.”
“upholding the universe description has not escaped the notice of Jacob Harsh. “
“the Commentator treats it with a sort of poetic declaration of love.”
“– He has the right! The trick is to try to understand what happens when nothing seems to happen. How the fatigue affects. The tactical game. That ”nothing” happens is good for some – bad for another. Anders can see the nuances. A matte glance. A movement that begins to lose force. It if really takes place in what seem to be.”
“Who will win the Race on the women’s side?”
“– Britta Johansson Norgren.”
“– Andreas Nygård, Norway, who won last year can win again. It’s going to snow is a big risk that there will be very many that come into the home stretch at the same time. He is a formidable spurtare, so I believe in him.”
