Yeah, but let's not forget, the Norwegians don't dope! They are morally the best professional athletes out there!! Squeaky clean. Think of all the great, clean legends of the past: Daehlie, Alsgaard, Jevne, Sivertsen, Ulvang, Mikkelsplass, Langli, Estil, Hjelmeset, Skari...

I've heard that 4 out of 5 milion Norwegians are registered (that is huge relative number) and kids entering 4th class at primary school are mostly registered in not one, but two ski clubs. I wonder about about comparison with other nations. Thank you for your opinions!
I'm an Australian living in Norway and in my son's class, from 2nd grade on, only 2 boys aren't skiing for the local club and one is Polish the other from Sudan.
Yesterday Johaug had 20 seconds on 2,2 km, 1:20 in finish. Isn't that a lot? With what margin did Mühlegg won once upon a time?
