Have you spent much time skiing in North America, and what is your impression<br />
of Cross-Country ski racing in North America?</b><br />
No, have only been in Sun Valley before the Olympics. Very nice for skiing there.<br />
Like the place a lot. In Salt Lake I was sick and my memories from there were:<br />
bad shape (me), hard tracks….<br />

Can you give a few words of advice on training or racing to our readers, perhaps<br />

Have fun and try many different sports. Try to learn good technique. </p></div></div></div><div class=)
