I think I just wet myself! I don't have words... It's just so unbelievably brilliant. First race win and second in the championship, from 7th after last race. It's not the highest achivement of any Norwegian motorsports driver, it's one of the highest achivements in Norwegian sport, period. :) -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Yes. And note "one of", not "the" only. Some of the skiers are impressive aswell, but the opposition isn't exactly the same. And motorsport is not really big in this country either, and doing motorsports here is basically a uphill battle all the way. It's 1000 times easier to get support for winter sports or soccer. -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Not gonna argue you on that one, I don't know much about Norwegian sport. Solberg had been due for a win for some time now. One could really see him knocking on the door so many times this season. It's nice to see him finally kick it down, especially after some of the stuff he's had to endure over the year. Well done, I say. My prediction: future WC if given the right equipment. Jan. =---

Yeeey congrats to Petter Solberg definatly a future world champion :) "Ed Solheim" <edwins[ REMOVE ]@[ THIS ].no> wrote in message news:AeJB9.1393$[email hidden]...

No, but Gunde Svan crushed the opposition in his day on the nordic circuit, had lungs the size of Russia, was about 2.5 metres tall (seemingly) and looked rather like Thor the thunder guard. He also drove an incredibly mean looking yellow Ruf Porsche, usually sideways. Now, here's a stretch, but I would say that nordic skiing is alot like auto racing, in that you have to be there at least once to appreciate it, and you need to pick the right spot. Watching the skiers (or drivers) zip past on the straightaway is dull as nails, and the television coverage always just shows Dahlie (or Schumacher) disappearing into the distance. Now, stand on the outside of a nasty, icy, tree-lined, off-camber downhill blind corner (also appropriate for brainless rally fans :-) and watch the fun as the skiers, still oxygen-starved and groggy from the previous uphill, try to keep it together at 70kph on two skinny little 3cm skies. Fun fun fun! Stephen

I know, most world/olympic class athletes are good because they're determined to be the best they can be, not necessarily because they are predispositioned for being good at that particular event, although some physical attributes are necessary in many sports, so it's not surprising that some of them does well in other forms of sports as well Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--
