SPORTS & ACTIVITIES
A Norwegian proverb claims that ’Norwegians are born with skis on their feet’. And Norway is undoubtedly a winter sports nation, with skiing in general and cross-country in particular as the most beloved sport. Every winter hundreds of thousands of Norwegian are stuck in front of the telly, watching the Norwegian cross-country team make a clean sweep in the World Cup – if they are not out skiing themselves. Just how crazy Norwegians are about cross-country skiing is most clearly seen just outside of Oslo, when the race known as 5-mila is arranged every winter. The place swarms with Norwegians with and without skis that have come to cheer national and international cross-country stars through the 50-kilo meter race.
Despite the fact that winter sports are the field in which Norway excels, football (soccer) is the most popular sport. The national group for men is as a matter of fact not positioned high by FIFA, but rather investment in the game by kids and youth is amazing. You essentially won't meet numerous Norwegians – male or female – that have not played (or still play) football. To truly take advantage of your stay in Norway, it is by and by extraordinary games (or 'audacious games') that truly emerge. Free skiing, kite boarding, downhill and mountain bicycle dashing, shake climbing, boating, parachuting and BASE hopping. The rundown is relatively interminable, however one thing is sure: Extreme games are ending up progressively well known, and are additionally available for the normal resident. In recent years a different type of extreme sport has risen in popularity – the so-called extreme triathlon, with Norseman as the most famous race. This opposition starts with a 3.8 km swim in Hardangerfjorden, trailed by a 160 km bicycle ride over Hardangervidda, and after that a full marathon (42 km) from Geilo to Rjukan. The race closes here with a slope race up Gaustadtoppen, 1883 meters above ocean level.
