Skellefteå has found its back – Luke Witkowski is ready
The reinforcement has now been completed.
Luke Witkowski is ready for the club, Expressen learns.
Another autumn has passed with a Skellefteå AIK that has been looking for a defender.
However, a solution has now been found.
34-year-old Luke Witkowski is ready for the club according to what Expressen has learned.
– I have no comments, says Skellefteå’s sporting director Erik Forssell.
Wotkowski has played a season before in Europe, for Tappara where he became Finnish champion last season.
Similar player type to Petter Granberg
The veteran, who played 132 NHL games in his career, is a big and solid defender. A not entirely different type of player like Petter Granberg who Skellefteå had to see lost to Växjö Lakers this season.
Now they have instead signed in Luke Witkowski, who will be presented shortly.
Expressen gets hold of Skellefteå’s sporting director Erik Forssell, who does not want to confirm anything.
– No comments.
You can’t even confirm if you have a back that is ready?
– No, I choose to lie low, says Forssell.
Lisa Nordén on the viral clip on Taylor Knibb: “Nightmar
But went viral for his words just before the finish line.
– She ended up in a nightmare situation, says Lisa Nordén.
The seconds from this weekend’s triathlon world cup in Dubai began to spread quickly on social media and, of course, have not escaped an Olympic silver medalist.
Lisa Nordén immediately understands which clip is meant.
– The stomach is starting to feel bad, you are about to win the race and take your first WC title. What do you do? It is very difficult considering the situation she was in, says Nordén.
With only meters left to the finish line, the American Taylor Knibb declared that an accident had occurred.
“I just shitted myself, don’t film my ass,” Knibb told the cameraman as she ran to the finish line.
She is praised worldwide for her openness and presence in the moment.
– Then it was almost the opposite, says Nordén. She didn’t want it on TV, but it went viral anyway. Maybe she hadn’t thought of that right there. Her idea was probably to avoid headlines with speculation. But absolutely, I think it makes sense, says Nordén.
How common would you say this is?
– Not at all common. At least not in these shorter races. Here, the girls only ran 18 kilometers. But in Iron Man, it might happen.
Nordén: “Must be careful”
But how should one reason then? Because you can’t stop. Then you lose your position.
– Yes, there are bajamajors on display. And according to the rule book, for example, you are not allowed to pee while on the bike. It is for hygienic reasons. Then there are some who do it discreetly anyway. I would say that you can stay or simply hold on. Then you can pee while swimming, but that’s easier said than done.
Have you experienced any such situation?
– No, I’ve actually been quite spared. You try to be very careful with what you eat before the races.
Nordén believes that the clip has become so viral thanks to, or because of, the recognition factor.
– She ended up in a nightmare situation for most people. I think a lot of people have thought before a race, what if I need to go to the toilet, like.
