Wow! Carlsen took the third place? That's great. I heard Carlsen is among the invited players to the FIDE World Championship in Libia. Does anyone know will he participate?

Carlsen will participate as a wildcard as far as I know. He was added to the participants list as a presidents nominee after several strong players turned down the offers to play.
