A tribute to a magic moment in norwegian skiing history.
En hyllest til et magisk øyeblikk i norsk skihistorie.
Oddvar Brå brakk staven
Alle har vel hørt spørsmålet "Hvor var du dra Oddvar Brå brakk
staven?" Vel, jeg kan ikke huske det.... Et like interessant
spørsmål er "Hvor var det Oddvar Brå brakk staven?"
Dessverre er det ikke mulig å sette ut en cache akkurat på det
stedet, så dette er en "Offset" cache et stykke unna.
Holmenkollanlegget er bygget om siden VM i 1982 og løypene går ikke
på samme måte i dag. Ta gjerne en titt på følgende videoklipp og se
om du kan finne ut hvor det eksakte stedet er. Post gjerne
koordinatene til ditt forslag i din logg, og gjerne også hvor du
var da Brå brakk staven.
Mitt forslag: N59 57.905 E010 40.247

In 1982, the World Championship in cross contry skiing was held
here in Holmenkollen. The 4x10km relay for men was - and still is -
one of the most prestigeous competition in these games. In the
final lap, Norway (Oddvar Brå) and the former Soviet Union
(Aleksander Zavjalov) was fighting side-by-side when suddenly
Oddvar Brå snapped his ski pole in two pieces. Luckily, he soon got
a replacement pole. The two teams finished side-by-side and shared
the gold medals. You can see the final 1km of this race at YouTube
(external link above).
This cache is a tribute to that exciting moment. The cache is not
at the site of the incident, since the tracks have been rebuilt
since 1982, but people are encouraged to take a look at the video,
estimate the position where this momentous sport event took place,
and finally post coordinates to their best guess to the exact
place.
