 Have you seen any of the Nordic world crosscountry championships.  I have been stuck to the TV every morning for the last week or so watching the action from Holmenkollen in Norway.  I have been a fan of this sport and Biathalon for about 12 years, some of the fittest athletes on the plant. 

For no particular reason, other that perhaps they are the best, I have been a supporter of the Norwegians, they have consistantly produced legends of the sport, their current crop is no exception.  Marit Bjoergen, entered 4 events, won 4 golds, what an athlete.  Possibly the next big thing Therese Johaug, a human dynamo and a babe.  The men are pretty good too, Peter Northug, although they say he's a bit of an arogant person, but he has the talent to be.

So I await the womens 30k race later today and the mens 50k tomorrow.  If I were a betting man I know who I'd be putting my money on.

And the Biathalon world championships have just started in Russia, this is bliss.
