In sport news today, ice hockey player Espen Shampo Knudsen is interviewed about his neck, which he injured during a match in October. He tells us that if he is not to get back on the ice, he will still get pay for the next seven years. That's seems like an ok deal - especially if the injury doesn't keep him from doing other jobs.



Per Ciljan Skjelbred (18) og Jesper Mathisen (18), however, are at a very different point of their careers. They are worried that Norwegian soccer teams buy too many foreign players, and that there will not be enough room for Norwegian talents (such as them) to evolve.



As you see, nothing much happens in the world of sports in Norway these days. All eyes are on the Tour de France, where Thor Hushovd is trying to get hold of the green jersey, being just a few points behind Tom Boonen.
