Top posting...
Should have mentioned a couple of parameters... The article idea must be something that works on a national, not regional basis. Also, I don't write on technique or nutrition so rule those out as well. Jay Tegeder "On the Podium if..." JT (Jay Tegeder) wrote in message . com... Hi fellow RSN subscribers!

Since many master skiers are either coaches OR parents of young skiers...
how about the latest in training young skiers? Many young skiers in high school are skiers only for the winter.. they play fall football, soccer or run XC they work a lot in the summer, and in the spring they are ... well, who knows... How can you train a semi-serious young skier to do well in 4 months (november - feb) Jeff K. |

[ ] 4)Why hasn't XC skiing shown the same progression as American cycling? Greg Lemond spawns Lance, Bobby, Tyler, Levi etc. How come the bounce from KOch only lasted until the early 80's and it's been a drought until recently? OK, JT cleared it up that he covers the natl race scene, not tech, etc. I like Eric's idea but I have a more specific take on it... Why hasn't US XC followed up on Koch, its early champ, like US cycling did with Greg? Follow the money! --The private money, that is. Greg was bankrolled by businessman Fred Mengoni. Lance got huge support from banker Thom Weisel. Is there an angel in the wings for US XC? Here are profiles of 3 up-and-coming private backers of US XC...

[Doh... I'll try again... Sorry for being fussy...]
As with US cycling, will an enthusiastic millionaire sponsor be the final link in the chain that gives the US its first world champion and puts XC into the national spotlight? --JP |

Top post... Be warned...
Nobody won the contest since only a few entered. I didn't want to mention it on the newsgroup but some of the other prizes for the winning article suggestion were a new pair of Fischer Classic Crown skis, a new cabin in the Seely Highlands by the Birkie Trail and a brand new Chevrolet Suburban 4WD SUV to haul all of your ski gear to the races. Anyway, the contest is officially over. My next article, if accepted, will appear in the next issue of the Master Skier. There are no guarantees though since there are so many great nordic ski writers out there like Torbjorn Karlsen, Rob Bradlee, Lee Borowski, Ian Harvey, Zach Caldwell, Frank Lundeen, John Aalberg, Pete Vordenberg and Bob and Nancy Gregg.

I want to register a protest.
I was on vacation when thwe contest was anounced and had no access to a computer, therefore not all contestants had an equal chance. I know you a fair minded guy, and will extend the contest to acomodate me. And I know you have good sesne and will take my suggestion, and will name me the winner. My suggestion is an article on the multiple gold medal World Loppet skiers. Those guys that have skied the entire series between 8 and 15 times. Who are they? What are their lives like? Why do they do what they do? (I know some of the answers and it would make good reading.) Or do an English language article about that guy in Oslo who skis a zillion K's a year at Holmenkollen. Don't need a set of Crowns- already have them. I've asked Zach to find me a pair of waxless. Maybe you could just reimburse him. Would rather have a cabin in Maine. Seely Highlands is a two day drive at least. How about a Toyota hybrid?- Maybe the Highlander. Just contact me offline. I wouldn't want to take up newsgroup space with drivel.

Why didnt I think of this before !!!!???????
Do an article on RSN !!!!!!! So few use it, relatively speaking, so it might open people's eyes up to a whole new world of nordic ski information ! JK "Gary Jacobson" wrote in message . ..
