Claus Elming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claus Elming (born March 20, 1969 in Herning, Denmark) is a former Danish American football player.
Elming first experienced American football when he went to Minnesota on exchange. Quickly becoming a fan, Claus sent his little brother, Jesper Elming, an NFL ball for Christmas.
When Claus returned to Denmark after a year in the U.S., Claus started the Herning Hawks American football club with some other interested players. Some years later, Claus moved to Århus to study at the university, where he then helped starting up the Århus Tigers. Claus moved to Copenhagen after he took a job as an NFL commentator on TV 2 Zulu. Elming then started coaching the Avedøre Monarchs, which he did until 2002. In 2006, Elming was inducted in the Danish American Football Federation Hall of Fame.
Elming's favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings.
Every Sunday at 10 p.m. on TV 2 Zulu, Elming and his co-host Jimmy Bøjgaard comment on the late NFL game. Elming's younger brother, Jesper Elming, and his co-host Thomas Qvortrup, comments the early match at 7 p.m.
