Monday, July 6, 2009 by Jari KoisterWorld record in Double Trudgen?
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Kenneth PernyerIn the outdoor Swedish Championship in Swimming we have seen amazingly fast front crawl. Crawl is the fastest swimming style, right? How about Trudgen? It is similar to the front crawl, except that it is swum with a scissor kick. And how about Trudgen crawl? Again, similar to the trudgen, but with the use of a flutter kick between the scissor kicks. And why isn’t double trudgen twice as fast? Is there a Swedish record in Double trudge? A lot of questions, few answer.

Qrodo Event: World Cup Fencing
Saturday, March 28, 2009 by Blogger QrodoDuring the weekend of 5-6 March 2009 the Swedish Fencing Federation used Qrodo to live-cast the Challenge Bernadotte Grand Prix Fencing. The broadcast was set up to relay the video feeds from the video review system.
Boxing terminology: Jab
Saturday, March 28, 2009 by Blogger QrodoA quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guard position. The jab is accompanied by a small, clockwise rotation of the torso and hips, while the fist rotates 90 degrees, becoming horizontal upon impact. As the punch reaches full extension, the lead shoulder can be brought up to guard the chin. The rear hand remains next to the face to guard the jaw. After making contact with the target, the lead hand is retracted quickly to resume a guard position in front of the face. The jab is recognised as the most important punch in a boxer’s arsenal because it provides a fair amount of its own cover and it leaves the least amount of space for a counter punch from the opponent. It has the longest reach of any punch and does not require commitment or large weight transfers. Due to its relatively weak power, the jab is often used as a tool to gauge distances, probe an opponent’s defenses, harass an opponent, and set up heavier, more powerful punches. A half-step may be added, moving the entire body into the punch, for additional power. Some notable boxers who have been able to develop relative power in their jabs and use it to punish or ‘wear down’ their opponents to some effect include Larry Holmes and Wladimir Klitschko.

Quarter finals in Floorball: AIK 5-6 RIG
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 by Kenneth PernyerOn Sunday February 1, Qrodo live-casted a very exciting junior quarter final floorball game from Råsta Park. The home team AIK took the lead and it looked like an easy win. The visiting team RIG Umeå was not at all on their toes and looked uncomfortable. But it soon became a most dramatic and shifting game. AIK was leading 5-3 when 3 minutes remained. The game shifted and Umeå started hitting their shots. 6-5 in one minute and 30 second.
The game was characterized by a two good defences and a creative offense. Most people, like me, had AIK as the winner AIK, first time i the quarter finals, but the team has been a very predictable winning machine this year. Good luck in the semi-finals RIG.
Many great players in both teams, we like to highlight the AIK goaltender Jocke Hellman (****) responsible for many great saves, creative forward Andreas Nordström (****) and strong defense man Adam Ekman (*****).
Uneven Bars
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 by Blogger QrodoOn the uneven bars (also known as asymmetric bars, UK), the gymnast navigates two horizontal bars set at different heights. The height is generally fixed, but the width may be adjusted. Gymnasts perform swinging, circling, transitional, and release moves, that may pass over, under, and between the two bars. Movements may pass through the handstand. Gymnasts often mount the Uneven Bars using a beatboard (springboard). (From wikipedia)
