+1 for media exposure
+1 for a very good article in general

That's just plain awesome.

At his current rate of improvement, he`ll be -2 at Worlds next year.

Sweet article, congrats Jorden. Good exposure.

Whaaat?? Jorden is 17? I thought he was at least 20!

"And he came one step closer to realizing his dream at the 2005 World Footbag Championships last month in Helsinki, Finland. Fifty-two people from such places as Europe, Australia, Japan, Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, the United States, Poland and Russia."

Damn I love American journalists.

The bolded countries (though Europe isn't a country) are in Europe, all the western Russia til the Ural is Europe too.

And I'm pretty sure that there weren't any Swedes, I mean, do the Swedes even know that footbag exists?

Huge props for Jorden though! (Today there was a clip from the Worlds in a Finnish sport programme, Hiki (=sweat). Congratulations at least for Aleksi and Riku, you made it to the TV!

(They were interviewing Carol Wedemayer and there were circles behind her. Might be that even I made it though it was too short clip to spot myself there.

I think there are some net players in Sweden, who showed up at Euros this year? As for New Zealand, thats definitely wrong too. The only player from Oceania was Ian Pritchard of Aussie.

I`m also not sure where the 52 people figure comes from...

Hehe. My local newspaper. That article came out a couple weeks ago. I was so happy it made it to the sports section, first page to boot. There was some stiff competition for that page, with all the lawn bowling and minor soccer going on.

Yeah, that whole 'Europe' thing was a typo.
There were 52 competitors preregistered for open routine, correct?

If you take a closer look at the site the article is on or read words such as 'favorite' in that article, you'll see the newspaper is in Canada, jackass. Who's laughing now?

Canada is part of America just like the United States are.

Maybe the Americas or North America but not 'America'

ville · Post by **ville** » 07 Sep 2005 09:25

I don't know about you but in Finnish geography America is a continent with 2 parts.

jon · Post by **jon** » 07 Sep 2005 09:32

Last time I check there was North America, South America, Central America ect.. Never saw an 'America' that meant Canada

http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/world/americas/

p.s. canadian's generally do not like being called america or american

mohkale · Post by **mohkale** » 07 Sep 2005 09:49

Canada is in America thus making Canadians Americans. It's dumb to call them Americans though, since most people understand America only as the United States of it.

It's funny how some Americans (:lol:) think of Europe as a country. Just how ignorant can you be and still be a journalist

I see what you guys are saying but have to humbly disagree.
These are the 7 continents:
#1 Asia - (44,579,000 sq km)
#2 Africa - (30,065,000 sq km)
#3 North America - (24,256,000 sq km)
#4 South America - (17,819,000 sq km)
#5 Antarctica - (13,209,000 sq km)
#6 Europe - (9,938,000 sq km)
#7 Australia/Oceania - (7,687,000 sq km)

I do not see an 'America' listed.
This will be my last post in this thread, I apologize for the hijack.

Jon

Yeah, it's me still laughing at "the Machine", jackass.

Though I have to admit that usually people consider Americans as the citizens of the US, it was my bad.

Anyways, still major props, Jorden!
