though the drammen start lists have not been published by fis as of this very moment, it is pretty clear that
not 2 but 3 northug bros will start tomorrow...
i say, that's another sign of the sport heading...well, pls disagree all you want..in the direction i personally dont appreciate.
the sport's participation rules and practice are so skewed that to fill the ranks, the world cup events organizers are given too many privileges. when these 'organizer' privileges fall to the already dominant nation, some truly ugly expressions may take hold. like the northug bros pony show tomorrow.
dont get me wrong, petter and thomas proved their class. just as the cologna bros did. but the sport's smallness is driving me off
