Tauson reaches final and biggest match of her career

·

Jesper Skeel

The Danish tennis sensation Clara Tauson is ready for the final in the Dubai Tennis Championship after a three set win over Karolina Muchova 6 – 4, 6 – 7, 6 – 3.

Throughout the match, Tauson had a strong serve, and deserved her place in the final, but

Muchova didn’t go without a fight, and the players had many remarkable duels. 

Among them in the third set, Muchova delivered the shot of the day, with a magical loop. Tauson was close to the net, but Muchova caught her, with a loop, from a so-called tweener, hitting the ball between her legs, and while her back was facing the net.

The tournament is rated as a WTA 1000 tournament, which is just below the Grand Slams and the season finals.

In Saturdays final Tauson will face the teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva from Russia, who won her semi final versus Elena Rybakina.

Reaching the finals has secured the finalists at least 351.801 USD, and the winner will besides the title take home 597.000 USD

    Jesper Skeel

    There were only two possible outcomes of the draw, either Chelsea from England or Vitoria Guimaraes  from Portugal.

    And it was Chelsea that came out of the bowl, as the opponent in the round of 16.

    Chelsea is the best seeded team in the tournament, ahead of FC Copenhagen who were seeded second, but must be considered heavy favourites against the Danes.

    First leg will be played at Parken in Copenhagen, at March 6 6.45 pm, and the second leg will take place a week later at Stamford Bridge, London.

    On Sunday, a line of locals and tourists stretched from Noma all the way to Margretheholm.  

    Wrapped in scarves and gloves, the people braved subzero temperatures, waiting in anticipation for the chance to taste Noma’s exclusive Fastelavnsbolle. 

    Fastelavnsboller are a beloved Danish tradition, with bakeries across the city competing to craft the most innovative and delicious versions each year.  

    But this year, Noma’s take on the classic stood out.  

    Created by head dessert chef Francisco Migoya, the bun is a water cake, filled with nut cream made from pumpkin seeds, layered with a chestnut, vanilla, and muscovado sugar filling,g and topped with freeze-dried raspberries. 

    Surprisingly, this high-end twist on the pastry came with a price tag of only 45 kroner. 

    With 400 buns available, the demand was overwhelming and early arrival was essential. 

    The queue began forming well before the opening hours. Each person was allowed to buy only two buns, but with the limited supply, it didn’t take long for the numbers to drop.  

    By midday, only 200 buns remained, forcing staff to start cutting off the line, leaving many customers to return home disappointed and with an empty stomach.

    Among the crowd, Noma’s co-owner, René Redzepi, could be spotted helping manage the rush.

    Despite the chaotic scene, the atmosphere was one of camaraderie, as people bonded over their shared excitement for the one-of-a-kind treat. 

    For those who missed out, the disappointment must be immeasurable.  

    This was a one-day-only event, and with no guarantee it will return next year.

    More than 100 million trips were taken on the S-train in 2024

    ·

    In 2024, the number of trips made on Denmark’s S-train network reached 112.1 million, according to reports by DSB to TV 2 Kosmopol. This number refers to the total number of individual journeys made by passengers, and of course not the number of rides made by the trains themselves.

    It´s an average of 300,000 trips a day. This marks a 6% increase in travel compared to the previous year.

    “As more and more people choose the S-train, it highlights the competitiveness of our service for the hundreds of thousands who rely on it daily,” said Aske Wieth-Knudsen, Deputy Director at DSB.

    The peak travel day occurred on Friday, November 29, with 451,704 passengers. DSB attributes this surge to the combined effects of Black Friday shopping and festive Christmas lunches.
