Petter Skinstad, Kristian Græsli, Håkon Mikalsen and Rolf Einar Jensen attended all in NM.
Together they signed a debate article in Aftenposten that deal with alcohol served in connection with the season finale for the Norwegian Championship Part 2 in Beitostolen.
Found full running in the snow
” What the individual chooses to do after the last race, will be up to the individual, but we do not believe that sport should facilitate drunken party in the championship banquet or in Holmenkollen, “writes the four athletes in the post.
One of the runners were reviewed after the party because they do not obey the police orders to remove themselves from Beito hall.
in addition, says the four championship runners that they found a full senior runner sleeping in snow they had to follow home.
Did not the banquet
Petter Soleng Skinstad could not bear to attend the championship banquet held by NM.
– I’m against unwanted interference and do not blame the individual runner. I just want everyone to have an awareness of the use of alcohol. What I do not think is right is that sport as a community and with their attitudes will facilitate celebration with alcohol, whether in connection with NM or World Cups in Norway, he says to Aftenposten.
NM-organizer of Beitostolen arranged a closed banquet and sold 300 tickets for participants. NM-general Erik Østli told Aftenposten that he has the impression that the banquet was a tradition and it is an opportunity for runners to get together before they go each to his own.
