Polar Bear Olympics – nostalgie and news

10.2.2018 by Mervi

Knutitour’s 10th anniversary year is even a year of nostalgie. Now that the Olympic Games in PyeongChang have started I thought this would be a perfect time for some flash backs to our polar bears’ own games during the years.

In Vancouver 2010 Germany had a very special representant – Herr Knut aus Berlin.

In Sotshi 2014 there were many traditional disciplines but also many new.

The Russians have always been winners in ice dancing so, naturally, Tonja and Wolodja won the gold medail. Well, in these games everybear gets a medail. No bear has to risk being disqualified because of doping – there’s no need to cheat because everybear is a winner! 🙂

There were some funny incidents, too. A kosack was dancing on the downhill track. However, Uncle Sergej mastered the unexpected situation very well.

Even though Ranzo lives in Austria now he wants to be a member of the Team Finland. He’s acting as a defender but also as a forward when needed. Who wants to challenge Finland on the ice??? 🙂 Of course, Ranzo is participating even in the Polar Bear Olympics!

Sisu had decided to take it very easy and just enjoy the games …..

…. but when he noticed Quintana among the spectators he just had to show her he’s not ‘coach potato’. I must admit he has a great style!

Among the new disciplines I can mention treasure hunting in ice cold water. Oh bear, is the white mascot going to kick Sisu’s boomsie ….. 🙂

Rolling a big ball in the snow requires lots of power and energy. Quintana has been an excellent bearsonal trainer for Sisu. She gives him all the energy needed. As we know Miss Quintana is also called Miss Duracell!

The Olympic fire has been travelling via every zoo in the world and now Sisu carried it to the ski jumping arena for the opening ceremony.

It’s been a tough time for Sisu so now he needs a well deserved nap before it’s time for Nordic skiing, ski jumping, biathlon, ice hockey and all the other exciting events.
