High temperatures (yesterday c & rsquo; were 9 degrees) and high winds (5 meters per second) are preventing the organizers to set up a ring suitable to accommodate the & rsquo; seasonal opening in Norwegian land, also known as Beitosprinten. The program includes a distance classic technique Friday & Igrave; 13, at a distance freestyle Saturday 14 and Sunday, November 15 Sprint alternate.
The coordinator of & rsquo; & Event Erik Ø stli appears worried: & ldquo; The situation & egrave; best. The Wind & egrave; as a hair dryer, there & rsquo; & egrave; nothing worse to set up a cross-country skiing. If conditions remain the same as those of the last ten days, we could not produce snow with the equipment we have. Unfortunately we did not even resort & agrave; alternatives elsewhere miss the snow & rdquo ;.
The manager of & rsquo; event Terje Lund explains instead how the situation might be resolved: & ldquo; The Foehn & egrave; the worst thing that could happen, but we will fight until the end because & eacute; They can play regularly every race. We are waiting for details mats that isolate and preserve the snow, would not cover all the & rsquo; ring but most. They will reach a bit & rsquo; from Geilo, we will do everything for even more money so you can at least cover the path from 3.3 km. Thursday & Igrave; or Friday & Igrave; We will take the final decision & rdquo ;.
The FIS of Beitost ø len are played as the opening season since 1992, and only in 1993 and 2011 have been canceled for lack of snow.
