Karsten Warholm says he got cardiac issues from thumping his chest hard before races

This guy is like the anti-Jakob, cool not arrogant.

I want to know why the Swedes turned whatever old historic building that was into a track stadium. I bet it was a jail and they had executions in the yard.

It was built specifically for the 1912 Olympics.

Both Karsten and Jakob are among other things big mouths, and that’s among other things what makes them cool…

Wow, I wonder what could have caused them?

Yeah. You really shouldn't do that repeatedly. Striking someone in the chest is a technique to bring them back to life (amongst other things).

Do you allways have bad takes? The old historic building is.... the olympic stadium.

Yeah...something is weird here. A guy that races a handful of times a year amounting to ~15-20 chest slaps/year that are somehow hard enough to cause issues or arrhythmia?

Me thinks Mr. Warholm is trying to get ahead of something

T&F athletes are the most fragile sportspeople out there, hence the small number of races a year to "protect themselves" ahead of the championships/Olympics. It tracks tbh.

God, you're ignorant.

Children in Norway learn English from kindergarten onward.

In Oslo you will hear better English spoken than in a lot of America.

You would lose that bet. (Same as most of your "takes.")

It is a historic stadium. That's all.

^ a lot of Norwegians can speak English better and have a better grasp of the English language than many Statesians do.

Norwegians study English almost from the time that they start school. It’s rare to find a Norwegian that is not fluent in English.

Oh, come on.

His words: "...my heart started getting some issues."

This could mean anything from him saying he had an actual diagnosed arrhythmia, to simply saying that he felt some palpitations. Or even less than that.

Since his response to the "issues" was to simply slap higher on his chest, it's doubtful that the issues were at all serious.

Just think a bit.

You were posting when I was.

Try reading an entry-level student paper in Norwegian...youngsters may be good in English, at least spoken English, but they are atrocious in Norwegian. Moreover, students complain endlessly about reading material in nynosk, a national writing form that many feel is too difficult. Let us, therfore, dampen the chest-thumping cultural superiority jive.

What's that have to do with your repressed manhood?

You asked for a good take

Man -I love your stereotypes! Don’t you think Norwegians read your post, and get a good laugh..?!
