Keep up the good work.

That's the outlet I used to write for. I'm fairly sure he's contacting people via email. I haven't seen anyone else interviewing skiers.

Yer article says Nordic Insights going to the olympics.
Y'all gonna have fun up there.
It won’t be long now.

My editor is going to the Olympics, it's the first year that they gave him one (1) stinkin' credential. If I'm on this mortal coil 4 years down the road and he wants me to go with him, I'm so there.

Also, reading through the FasterSkier articles on nationals. <snark>They definitely weren't there the first 2 races this week.</snark>

U. of Wisconsin, Green Bay, get the award for best school spirit.

Even for skiers of this level, the World Cup 5k is no joke. McCabe and second place Tilde Bångman after their drag race to the finish.

They’re running in Yurp today.

Final race report of the week. The junior races were cancelled because dang near gale force winds that tore up infrastructure in the stadium.

I'm gassed. The cat doesn't recognize me and I can't find my guitars.

I'll be back covering the World Cup finals here in March.

When the ski racers ran with skis on it looked like it’s faster than running on tera firma.
Too much wind sucks.
Snapped 2 by 4’s.
Ya should get hazardous duty pay. Thank you for yer service.
Have a good nap.
Hope no trees went down on anything of value.

That uphill running technique originated with Norway's Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. It's not graceful, but it works. Technique evolves over time, eh?

Thank you for your kind words. Nordic Insights at least pays, where my previous place didn't.
