For Norwegians, this is the World Series, Super Bowl and Woodstock rolled into one. Nearly 100,000 people were present either in the stadium or along the course during the 4 x 10 km men s relay.
Nordic skiing is alive and well here in Europe.
Here are some impressions and thoughts I had along the way. I like to perform, and I also like to watch. I think the reason I like watching the really big events like the Olympics or World Championships is because of the rarity of the moment. I am talking about rarity more on the scale of 1 in a million. As much as we know about physiology, we still have to run the races to see who wins.
