LARS learning wide angle camera the hard way. THE norwegian 4x10 cross-country team has just won gold at the FIS World Champ's in Sapporo, Japan (march 02, 2007). Cross-country/biathlete LARS BERGER (l), and Eldar Rønning in the backseat. Norwegian TV (NRK) reporter Ingerid Stenvold updating on skijumping after the goldinterview. Petter Northug (front seat) and Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset (behind Ingerid) also present in the car. Coach Morten Aa Djupvik driving. DUE to the time difference and the hurry to carry the news, nobody noticed in Sapporo or in the editing-room in Oslo. Thereby this was aired on national television in Norway, a couple of hours after it happened. Lars didn't understand that he was in the frame (I think), Ingerid learned about this later when media started to call her. Media frenzy for days in Norway. www.dagbladet.no www.vg.no www.vg.no Update (feb 2010): www.vg.no And most recent (feb 2011): www.vgtv.no WHAT Ingerid says: "Tomorrow is the last competition for the skijumpers here in Sapporo, the small hill run, and tonight it was qualification. It was a man from Orkdal (Roar Ljøkelsøy) that performed best among the norwegians, and he said he was inspired by a man from his home county (Petter Northug). Someone made a gif :) artige.no

This video was featured on the YouTube home page. That's why it has been viewed so many times (in case you're wondering). This was the description I wrote after it was featured: Thanks YouTube for featuring this video. And sorry to those who think it's crap - time is precious, I feel your pain. The Daily English Show is an internet show for people who are studying English. (If you're wondering why the script is a bit simple, this is why.) It is produced by Sarah, a New Zealander living in Japan. If you are one of those people who are incensed by the fact that I am teaching English with a New Zealand accent, please watch my faq video where I address the issue. Scripts are available for each show.
