Holmenkollen 50k … possibly the most famous Nordic event starts tomorrow at 6 am EST

Make no mistake, this is not Woodstock, rather it's tens of thousands of fans camping out to watch the Holmenkollen ski jumping, as well as the 30k and 50k races. This is on my bucket list for the next few years … camp out, and then the following week ski the Birkebeiner. 

The enclosed link is a two minute video giving an overview of this iconic Nordic event. Where else will a king put the medals around the victors neck!  Today, Johaug put on a master class for the field in the 30K. A brilliant performance and an emotional end to an amazing career. Tomorrow morning, at 6 am EST the 50k will start.
