Why black?
When seing snippets from the Swedish TV broadcast from D=FCsseldorf
online, I couldn't help getting curious on why the Norwegians where dressed in black with only some logo on the thigh and the manufacturer's name on the collar? Somewhat unexpected, so I suppose there was some reason for it? Not that it matters as long as a Swede is the first one to reach the goal line... =3D) |

Close-up view of boot/binding: http://www.nrk.no/img/534096.jpeg Aftenposten interviewed him, it is a regular clap skate boot special ordered from the dutch factory, delivered without the skating steel mounted underneath. I.e. it can be ordered by anyone, so it should not fall foul of the rules about general availability. He also explained that he was the only swedish skier who _could_ do this, since he has neither boot nor binding sponsors. Terje -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |
