Jouko (TV commentator) to Svend:
J: 69 cm - you're leading so far
S: It's unbelievable - shortest pull in history! ... I think it's
the first time in history when you can win the Hand over Hand with under
4 m I think.
J: Have you ever tried anything like this before?
S: I do this every day ... back in my home town ... but I do it
alone so ... Kurt had to just pretend to pull it - NO, this is unbelievably
heavy - it's the worst ever! ;-)
