We won something!

Thank you, thank you. You're all such nice people, you know that?

Also, part of the reason this is so big is that we've been awfully close a number of times recently, only to see it all fall apart in the final stages. Bronze at the 2002, -04 and -06 Euros and last year's Worlds, so this is a long-awaited release for the team and fans.

Some of these guys have bronze enough to... um, whatever it is that you do with a lot of bronze. I suppose they could send a 'We know how you feel' type of card to Merlene Ottey?

Another reason is that 2007 was such a rotten year for Denmark in just about any sports category. A poor show from the football team, Michael Rasmussen's disgraceful exit, handball girlies failing to qualify for just about anything, etc.

Now these guys will be one of the biggest hopes for this year's Olympics where I wouldn't expect Denmark to take home more medals than can be counted on one hand. Hopefully they'll do well under pressure.
