there is a ski festival in Oslo, Norway. Quite famous for those who are fond of the nordic winter sports. For those who are or take an interest in getting to know more, I volunteer to shed some light on the matter.
People come from far away to take part in this event which takes place round the middle of March.
The event starts early in the morning with the women's cross country skiing over a distance of 30km.
Here are the three best skiers for the last decade and the Swedish Charlotte Kalla is leading at this moment followed by the two top Norwegian skiers.
and the followers are hunting them as best they can, up the hill from the ski jump in the background.
while enthusiastic spectators hurrah and cheer them as the actually fly by.
Into the runs / legs if you like, the lead has changed and now there is two Norwegians in the lead.
But where is the Swede?
Well here she comes and I think by then she realised she would not make it this time. She is obviously more interested in the spectators.
The world top female skier of the decade, Marit Bjørgen has taken the lead and does not give it away. A great skier, personality and a very fine representative for the international sport.
I believe that Holmenkollen ski festival in march is more famous for its ski jumping than cross country skiing, and in this ski jump arena, lenghts more than 150 meters are achieved. here we actually see on coming out of the jump itself. And one can also see and follow the jumpers on big screens as you see here.
There is always a good atmosphere and the spectators are having a great time.
