Ingebrigtsen brothers release incredibly catchy Olympic music video (listen here + full lyrics)

«Søta bror» (sweet brother) is a nick name for the swedes.

i want to yell out AMERICA....its so good

YA NORWAY!!!!

Wow did the Norwegian Federation really leave Blummenfelt (going for repeat gold in triathlon) out of the video? Petty little vikings. Guessing he doesn't regret being ostracized by these ungrateful b#$tards.

I don't understand the words.....seems foreign to me.

Almost as bad as the country album put out by "The Property Brothers".

are you color blind? There is a bro in the video

Eurovision 100%

Maybe they're not a liberal/communist party run country that's desperate to groom immigrants to provide more tax dollars and votes to them.

Perhaps. But I think it shows he's nice and loose. For me, it's a great sign. I was a little worried Jakob might be overwhelmed by stress given his wife is home with the baby after her social medai video. Clearly not.

You can only run so much in a day. We started letsrun as we were bored when we quit are jobs and were just training all the time before the 2000 US Trials. This is a nice distraction.

Ingebrigtsen Brothers Release Single & Music Video To Get Norway Pumped For The Olympics

Before today, the Ingebrigtsens were solely known for their athletic process. Now they have a single that is incredibly catchy. *MB: Ingebrigtsen brothers release incredibly catchy Olympic music video (listen here + full lyri...

PS. Can the person who thinks their is some conspiracy about the triathlete please explain? Did they really show all of the prominent Norwegian athletes except him? Why would they want to snub him if true?

PPS. I merged two threads into 1 as a second one was started.

I think they showed all the norwegian gold medal winners in the summer olympics (as opposed to all prominent athletes), except Blummenfeldt (and maybe others, haven't checked). They might have forgot him.

Agreed about this showing us he's loose. Psychologically, this helps put him where he needs to be. I'd bet that was the goal of whoever came up with the idea for this video.

To give some context, this was produced by NRK (norwegian equiv of bbc). They made a lot of stuff like this for winter olympics and for the cross country skiing with great success, so I think it will be a part of their olympics coverage.

I just saw this, good for them. I don't understand the lyrics because I don't speak their language, but I can feel the passion. Hats off to them.

Actually a more than decent translation, but some nuance The original Norwegian line is "Bittelille Norge gir de deng, igjen". "Bittelille" is more like "tiny", and to give "deng" as is implied here is more like handing out a beating. The word itself is an old word, with roots back to proto-germanic; https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dengja

This one is a tad harder to explain. "søta bror"/"söta bror" is a term we use about the Swedes that we appropriated from the Swedish, who may have used it as a diminuitive term for the Danish. When used in Norwegian, it's mostly used as an endearment, in the same way a Japanese person would call someone [Name]-chan.

That bro is Salum Ageze Kashafali, a Norwegian athlete set to compete again in the Paralympics this year. He is a visually impaired athlete suffering from Stargardt disease and competing in the B2 class (previously T12). Explaing visual acuity is hard for normally sighted people, but my impression is that his vision is only a tad better than looking at the world through a drinking straw.

Watching him in interviews is always a joy - the guy has the same positive aura that Bolt had.

His PR's in the 100m are 10.37 (legal wind) and 10.18 (+3.7). Do that while only being able to watch the world through drinking straws.

Rojo's translation above isn't terrible.

deer american,

take a trip outside of your country (london and your spring break trip to cozumel don't count). you might just be surprised at what you find, and the world that is out there. good luck.

I don’t think the point was to show all the Olympic gold medalists -they f.ex had two clips with Grete Waitz (Olympic marathon silver; multiple WC champ). From a distance point of view I missed Blumenfeldt, but also Ingrid Kristiansen (WC xc champ + held WRs in 5000/10000m/marathon)…

Note that they didn’t show Jakob’s Olympic race. Neither Henrik’s fifth placing in 2012 Olympics or Filip’s WC bronze (or the brothers’ Euro wins), but they showed Vebjørn Rodal’s Olympic 800m gold in Atlanta 1996 (on a long standing Olympic record) twice -a very chill and relaxed and “humble” effect…

Anyone else notice the last video clip, when Jakob kisses the gold medal? He is wearing his wedding ring. A good sign.
