Statue Sondre Nordheim

Sondre Norheim

Sondre Norheim ble født 10. juni 1825 i Morgedal (som ligger i Kviteseid kommune i Telemark). På 1860-tallet var han regnet som den beste skiløperen i Telemark. Og i 1868 vant han et skirenn med både langrenn, hopp og slalåm på Iversløkken i Oslo.

Han hadde "forsket" en del på hvordan han kunne forbedre skiene for å få bedre resultater. Han benyttet kortere ski enn det som var vanlig. I tillegg laget han innsving på midten noe som gjorde skiene lettere å styre. Han forbedret også skibindingen som på den tiden bare bestod av en rem over skoen foran ved å lage en hælbinding slik at skiene ikke så lett løsnet. Det er feil å si at han fant opp disse tingene for både innsving og hælrem er dokumentert fra før Sondre ble født, men hans bruk og kombinasjon av disse to tingene gjorde at de fikk utbredelse og popularitet. Norheim ble etter dette kalt «den moderne skisports far» og Morgedal ble tilsvarende kalt «skisportens vugge».

Sondre Norheim utvandret til USA 1884 og er gravlagt i Denbigh i North Dakota. To identiske statuer av ham ble avduket i 1987 i Minot, North Dakota og i Morgedal i 1988. Satuene er utført av Knut Skinnarland.

Sondre Norheim

Sondre Norheim was born 10 June 1825 in Morgedal (located in Kviteseid municipality in Telemark). In the 1860s, he was considered the best skier in Telemark. And in 1868 he won a ski race with both cross-country, ski jumping and slalom at Iversløkken in Oslo.

He had "investigated" part on how he could improve his skis to get better results. He used the shorter skis than was usual. In addition, he created sidecut in the middle which made the skis easier to control. He also improved ski binding which at the time consisted only of a strap across the front of the shoe by placing heel binding so that the skis are not so easily loosened. It is wrong to say that he invented these things for both side cut and heel strap is evidence from prior Sondre was born, but his use and combination of these two things led them to spread and popularity. Norheim was subsequently called "the father of skiing" and Morgedal was accordingly called the "cradle of skiing".

Sondre Norheim emigrated to the United States in 1884 and is buried in Denbigh in North Dakota. Two identical statues of him was unveiled in 1987 in Minot, North Dakota and Morgedal in 1988. The Statue is performed by Knut Skinnarland.

Er hatte "untersucht", teilweise auf, wie er die Skier zu verbessern, um bessere Ergebnisse zu erhalten. Er verwendet kürzeren Ski als üblich war. Darüber hinaus machte er Seitenschnitt in der Mitte, die Skier leichter zu kontrollieren hat. Er verbessert auch die Skibindung als zu der Zeit nur ein Riemen über dem Schuhvorder indem hælbinding, so dass die Skier nicht so leicht gelockert. Es ist nicht richtig zu sagen, dass er erfand diese Dinge sowohl für die transiente und Pumps aus, bevor Sondre geboren wurde dokumentiert, doch sein Einsatz und die Kombination dieser beiden Dinge, die sie wurden auf den Vertrieb und die Popularität angegeben. Norheim wurde anschließend als "der Vater des Skisports" und Morgedal wurde in ähnlicher Weise als "die Wiege des Skisports."
