Is everything pitch black? No, not at all – so you want to defy the neråtpekande arrows so sit you in the sofa watching tv all pitch black?
When längdsporten is weaker, we need skidkära show us strong.
In the morning start the Tour de ski, and I suggest that we coordinate ourselves in the most powerful of motståndshandlingar.
the Skiing is not dying but fearing feariocious fearless forehead. And the disease seems to be spreading.
In Russia, the interest is so low that the competitions have stopped the tv broadcast. Neither Poland or Germany, with 24 times larger population than Norway, has taken any individual podium in the world cup two winters. Both världsettorna has violated dopningsreglerna, the russians accused of systematically cheating, Estonia and the Czech republic have problems with the regrowth. Kikkan Randall, Justyna Kowalczyk and Dario Cologna has lost stinget. Where is the Pellegrinos and Manificats gunpowder? Is Poltoranin gone?
While Central europe squirm and storsponsorer fleeing to the skidskyttet have längdsporten at least measure good in Scandinavia. But not even Norway is immune to disinterest. Already now we see signs that our neighbours hold on to win the death.
Recently, the newspaper Verdens Gang’s readers vote for the year’s Norwegian athletes in 2016. The list was topped by the MMA-the beard Emil Meek and among the top twenty was an orienteer, a dancer, two motorkillar and two beachvolleyspelare.
How many längdåkare as the world’s most längdälskande country voted on their top twenty?
A.
Petter Northug was the only one.
"Have been a bit charming…"
In the morning start the Tour de ski in the swiss Val Müstair. Petter is not. Nor Therese Johaug, Marit Björgen, Calle Halfvarsson or Alexander Legkov. Touren
are slightly shorter than usual, only seven stages, of which the women’s distance are drawn down to five kilometres. Absence makes the men’s extensive tour between Cortina and Toblach, the three-and-a-half miles long pursuit where the minutes tend to be collected and the skaters are the dots filmed from a helicopter.
– It was a little tough with the tv production of it. Since then, it has to do with the fact that it is mästerskapsår, to shorten distances. But I personally think that it has been a bit charming and different to the usual världscupsprogrammet, said the national coach Rikard Grip when I asked if Cortinaloppets future.
But is everything pitch black? It is just as well that we lie down in the snow and makes the part?
You know that the answer is no. Year after year it is amazing how exciting the Tour de ski manages to be, despite the fact that Sweden has not had any realistic segerchans after Charlotte Called the yank in the hill 2008. It can stand between a Polish and a Norwegian, a Russian and a Sundby, three to russia. No matter what, we sit there, stage after stage, and melts nyårsmaten.
It is also the way we hold life in our sport. On our butts, in our sofas, in front of our screens, with our remotes as weapons.
Global is cross-country, nothing, not even in the vintervärlden is the strong longer, but as long as we are watching and cheering and horrified vallaval and suspect cheating so, the sport is everything for us. It is enough.
Mashed Ivanhoe
So, do you want to defy the neråtpekande arrows, so turn on the tv in the morning. Rest assured that I and many of us are doing the same thing.
to forget skidsportens droopy graphs I go in on the MMS website. They measure the media consumption in Scandinavia, and may in the exact figures indicating how many swedes that are included in our resistance movement.
Ivanhoe has in 30 years aired on new year’s day and become an institution. The first of January 2016 saw 365, 000 in the film.
the Same time there was a sprint from Lenzerheide in which no american came on the podium. 1.1 million watched.
FIVE HIGHLIGHTS OF this YEAR’s TOUR DE SKI
1. Hellner is back
► No american gentleman has won the Tour de ski but 2012 was Marcus second. In the winter he seems to be back in the new (old) form and hangs Lerdalakillen with in the first six stages, he is surprisingly strong in slutklättringen.
2. The cold is in place
► Ursprungsplanen said that Charlotte would forgo the tour in order to save energy, but a couple of sick days later, she’ll need to match up against the best. We viewers regret the setbacks and thank you for that, we follow our biggest star.
3. Stages fits Stina
► Yourself, see Nilsson as a complete rider, but the rest of us holding her still as the sharpest of all at short distances. With regard to the world CUP is distansloppen shortened, which speaks for more pallchanser for the 23-year-old.
4. Norskorna is threatened
► As usual, it is all against Norway in the women’s side. Three years in a row, it has been triply Norwegian on the podium, but now missing Björgen and Johaug while Pärmäkoski, Cold and mountain goat Stephen want to hit a wedge into all the little.
5. The hill has not become flatter
► 364 days is the Alpe Cermis and the ferment in the Italian sun. One day in January to travel to the ragg to blight the lives of all of the massif. The fight against the hill is the only ski races where it’s equally interesting to see the winner as number 50. All have hurt. All stagger like old uncles. Some vomit in the mouth. The tour changes shape every winter, but the conclusion is solid as
bedrock. It should hurt at the end.
