Bjørgen is Back! (with a vengeance?)
OK, after 2-3 mediocre (compared to 2004-2006) seasons, Marit Bjørgen
skipped the Tour this year, and it seems to have been a very wise decision: 2 Gold and one Bronze is pretty good after the first 3 races, right? By coincidence this is the same medal collection as Sweden, who got all of theirs before the first Norwegian Gold, including the biathlon gold which all the sports reporters had already awarded to Emil HS even before the race. :-) Terje -- - Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

Why whould the Fisher skis be damaged by a grinding machine set up for Madshus skis? Did the Afterposten article really refer to the Fishers needing a different grind for its flex pattern? On a different note, it looks like third place Olsson was holding Norwegian Madshus skis. Edgar |

If they did, I suspect they don't know what they are talking about. :-( It does look like they have had an "inside tip" from somebody on or close to the waxing team, but grinding patterns should not depend on the name on the top of the ski? On a different note, it looks like third place Olsson was holding Norwegian Madshus skis. Petter had a not quite top day, then he had to ski for a short distance with a single pole, at the exact same time as his group was catching up to Olsson. As Thomas Alvsgaard said during and just after the race: "If Petter had been in top shape, he would only have needed a few seconds to catch up to the group." Re. ski grinding: It did look like Petter had slightly worse glide than a couple of the other leaders on the skate part, but the difference must have been very marginal.
