Watching Norwegians on the ice is like watching poetry in motion. They have this incredible ability to know how to ski on its surface and maximise their own energy and efficiency while doing so. I suspect this talent does come from skiing being a way of life then just a sport. Still in the time of COVID 15 gold medal haul is impressive so congratulations!!

They love their country, climate, snow, cold weather and almost all things Norse!! They are good, positive thinking people.

Yes, this is what I tell people. Grass roots is the key. However it also has something to do with the amount of money spent maintaining the facilities so people can enjoy the sports, the well groomed tracks that stretch from one side of Norge to the other allows participants of any level to enjoy the sports.

Heia Norge!

Hurra! Here’s just one example of grassroots participation. My son’s grade five class went on a ski trip last week. We recently relocated to Norway after living in the tropics his whole life, so he had never ski’d before. His teacher reserved feee skis for him to borrow from the municipality and the teacher taught him the basics! Great experience.
