Meteorologist warns: remember this

Even a large proportion of the cross-country skiers who come to the ski party in Holmenkollen this weekend risk a couple of aha experiences.

For the first time since the first women’s cross-country skiing in Holmenkollen 71 years ago – in 1952, women will now run 50 km instead of 30 km. It will also be the first ever women’s five-mile race at the World Cup in cross-country skiing. It will be the first women’s 50k of the championships at the WC in Trondheim in 2025.

since First Kollen-femmila 135 years ago – in 1888, cross-country boys would on a rare occasion run 50 kilometers on a Saturday. Sunday was the golden rule. Now the boys will go on Saturday, and the girls on Sunday.

For the country as a whole, there don’t seem to be any major changes next week.

We are in a period of somewhat stability. Over the weekend and into next week, we’ll have a lot of what’s happened lately: storms along the coast, cooler temperatures and some lingering to the east and south, said duty meteorologist Dina Stabile of the Meteorological Institute NTB.
