I saw the race in a gold lounge at Oslo Airport today. Kind of depressing to see that nobody seemed to pay any interest to the big screening TV during the race, until the last minute when finally a big number of mostly men rose. However, all of them disolved to their chairs, toalett, bar... when...

But then, there's (therese's) history...

I'm kind of agree, but struggling to conclude if this says more about the russians or the norwegians...

Very much agree. If the birds in the forest only sang in line with my expectations it wouldn't be: Firstly: a forest Secondly: birds

The celebrated Holmenkollen audience, and a few glimpses from the Swedish skiers. "There was an odeur of booze and marijuana surrounding the track" They were constantly booing and mockering us. But maybe they were shouting Buuurman?"
