Уважаемые посетители, в результате переписки с зарубежными спортсменами и специалистами мы пришли к выводу, что не мешало бы создать в форуме сайта www.skisport.ru такую ветку, в которой мы могли бы общаться между собой, а главное, со своими коллегами из других стран, на иностранном языке. Пока об английской версии сайта приходится только мечтать, эта ветка призвана стереть границы между лыжниками разных национальностей. На данный момент тяжело представить, насколько большой интерес она вызовет у читателя – российского и, тем более, зарубежного - но, тем не менее, лиха беда начало…
Возможно, спустя некоторое время, здесь соберётся настоящая интернациональная гвардия лыжников-гонщиков, общающихся на доступном всем языке. Для кого-то это может послужить обычной практикой английского, для кого-то – расширением круга знакомств... Благодаря общению с зарубежными спортсменами мы также сможем узнать особенности развития лыжного спорта в других странах, поделиться опытом тренировок, впечатлениями от заграничных поездок, а также многое-многое другое…
Итак, доставайте свои словари, приглашайте в эту ветку своих друзей и знакомых с разных континентов и наслаждайтесь общением без границ Чем больше мы приведём сюда народа, тем интереснее будет нам всем.
ПРОСЬБА ИЗБЕГАТЬ ОБЩЕНИЯ НА МОГУЧЕМ РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ, потому что, к сожалению, не все иностранцы его понимают

Dear foreign visitors!
We are glad to see you all on electronic pages of Russian Ski Magazine “Skisport” (www.skisport.ru). This part of the forum on our site, which is devoted to cross-country skiing and biathlon, was created special for you. We hope that thanks to it you will have an opportunity to communicate with Russian ski lovers without any language problems and limits. Welcome to Russia
For now, while this part of our forum have just appeared, I suggest you to communicate with our Norwegian colleague Anders Hoilund. Anders visits our site rather often but unfortunately his Russian is bad and he can’t share opinions with us. We hope that at present this problem will be solved.
Anders likes skiing very much but he works as a trainer of young football team which consists of... girls. Yes, it’s a women’s football team He lives in Oslo and trains a lot but this winter the weather in Norway is very bad and he has to run and ride a bicycle. Even now there are no conditions for skiing in the capital of Norway while Muscovites can train on ski tracks.
I think that Anders can tell us many interesting things about him and about cross-country skiing in Norway Very often he informs me about latest news in Norwegian Ski Team and I use it on the main page of our site. So... we go on
In Oslo we usually are blessed with much snow, but this winter we have to search for special places for snow. Through the years skiers has known those places around the town. It is places where the southern and western wind from the sea can't reach
The snow has finally arrived, and the last two Sundays has been " good old fashioned skiing Sundays" The woodlands around Oslo is often for short called Marka. In Marka there are 260 000 km with ski tracks, from the broad roads, where it is as crowded as a shopping street, to the lonely tracks deep into the forrests. On the best days, more than 250 000 people are skiing in Marka. In Oslo it lives just short of 500 000 people, but also around Oslo the population is high. A quest among the inhabitants of Oslo, 67% says that Marka is the best of Oslo!
I have not found any recent statistic, but from what I can see are Madshus and Fisher most popular among racers, then comes Atomic, while Rossignol and Kahru has lost terrain over the last years. What I found was a statistic that said that people the last years more often have different skies. One pair for montain skiing and one pair for not so extreme conditions. It is also more common for non racers to have a pair of skis for klister, and one pair for dry, new snow.
For walker, the Madshus dominance is bigger, Atomic is also popular, while Fisher has a more exclusive image. In addition some still wants the old wooden skies, the only brand in wooden skies are localy made Aasnes ski.
I am born 1956, my hobby has been skiing in winter and fishing in summer, I live in Oslo, and both summer and winter I can practise my hobbies here. i have no big results on ski, but I usually excuses it with mo many tough oponents. I have skied with skiers like Oddvar Braa, Thomas Wassberg, and up to Bjorn Daehlie. My best results came in shorter races, and in skating style. It is a tradition in Norway for much high speed training. Training in intervals for 1 to 3 minutes and with about 5 repetitions. It is common to do this training twice a week. Earlier we did much long distance running with low intensity. But as you know every skier has his own idea of what is the best.
I see there are some positions like me - ski, jogging, fishing, 1959y. Braa, Wassberg, Daehlie - interesting company! Can you write short impressions about this. Alexander
I can't call any of the stars "friends" but my impression of Thomas Wassbverg is that he is a very nice person. Swedes are seldom popular in Norway, but Thomas are. Friendly and helpful. I only met Daehlie as a young boy. He was quick and quite funny, allways in a hurry.
How many times a week can You practice in skiing? How many km are You accumulating per month, if not a secret? Which style You prefer - classic or skating? What are You doing at summer time? What racings You are usually taking part in? Thanks beforehand, Vlad.
Hello v.s. I will try to answer questions. I am not skiing as much as I want, especially this "winter".I have an ordinary job,in a publishing and printing company. Our season usually streches from November to late April and I may get 2000km- 2500km. Unfortunately my helthdoes not allow me to ski in competitions, but i used to ski in races from 10 to 30km. Also since my back and hips are not well I prefer skating style, but in Norway there are few tracks prepared for that. I live in Oslo, and we have always some tracks, like in Holmenkollen who is for skating. I used to run twice a week in summer in addition to roller ski. Now I have to calm down, and I go more fishing instead! BTW I can read the cyrillic signs, and I also speak a litle Russian
about your job - it's because Andrew told us you are a trainer of a women soccer team. As for your health, you definitely underestimate yourself: IMHO, 2000-2500 km is not so little at all. FE, I'm making just about 1000-1500 during the same period. IMO, skating is also very good. Fishing is AS for me, sorry, I'm not an expert. Good luck on You, chat later!
Well, I have coached the team since they where nine. Have needed a lot of patiente to get where we are today. This winter I may reach 500km on snow. Skied last evening, on ice and stones. Not good at all.
I can't believe your words about the lack of skating tracks in Norway. Are the conditions for "skaters" really worse here than in Russia (if you know our situation a little bit).
lack of skating tracks! He said there are few tracks prepared for that, it's not the same! All he meant is skating in Norway is not so popular as classic. Am I correct, Anders?
Skating is regarded as something exotic, something for experts. From around 25 long distance races held in or around Oslo, ony one is for skating. Aage Skinstad, the new head of cross- country skiing in Norway has told ski clubs to prepare also for skating, and I think the situation gradually are changing. 20 years ago skating was forbidden in nearly all tracks, and I had to be smart or quick or up very late to train.
Alas! Russian organizers and sport officials seem to consider skating as the only possible way of skiing. A lot of competitions by skating, and just a few of classic races during a season. Unfortunately, most of amateurs themselves, young ski fans, and even veterans also prefer skating.
hei Aleksej If you read www.langrenn.com you will always be updated. They have articles in English too. Results, reports, diskussions, training waxing, you can find it there. Unfortunately the forum is dominated by 14 year old boys (and it is not very good) For biathlon you can read www.skiskyting.com. In newspapers like www.vg.no you will find only the big headlines, and the forum is dominated by non skiers who goes bla-bla-bla
Since all inactive topics go down with time, may be it is nessesary to pin this particular topic to the top for the moment? (I don't know if it is possible technically). Later may be it will stay in the top itself or a part of the forum has to be created e.g. "SkiSport in English" and it will become as popular as "Беговые лыжи".
with Valentin's opinion. It's better for this theme to become a part of forum or theme but not remain as a simple theme (ветка) even staying in the top, IMHO.
It is difficult to use forum for those who doesn't know what is "Ответить" (means Reply), "Открыть новую тему" (means Open New Topic) etc. May be it is possible to repeat main buttons in english?
Your suggestions are right and I agree with both. We'll try to improve some aspects of our forum for our foreign guests. Meanwhile I think that they can use your dictionary
"Ответить" - Reply "Вверх" - Upwards If you click the picture "letter" you can send an e-mail to the visitor.
P.S.: I think that it's not necessary to open new topic ("Открыть новую тему") because JUST THIS topic is created to communicate in English.

Hello, dear russian friends! My name is Ole-Einar. I also like skiing and sometimes shooting. With my friend Lars and we often visit your site by the long winter evenings. And I need your help now. Soon I’ll take part in competitions very important for me in this year. I ask to give me answers on some questions such as: using ski wax in warm and wet weather, probably (or may be use cycling?) and, especially, how to glide on the external side of snowshoe. I know, there are many experts in Russia in this questions: such as Malex, Modest and many others. I know also, that every schoolboy in Russia knows how to reach the best conditions to the race date. Help me friends!
Excuse me, Vsevolod, I don’t speak Russian and didn’t understand everything in your post. And, please, tell me what means ‘obkakal’? I think , that’s mistake in spelling, but I’m not a chicken and wrote without any humor. Incomprehensibly! Dear friends! Thank you for good idea! I speak about cycling, I’ll try this method without fail in summer. I know, at last, the main Russian secret of success! Now, I’ll pull to pieces like a kitten everybody in Canada through 3 year. 2 Vlad Semakov. If you would be in Italy next week or Japan later, don’t be shy, I’ll be happy to meet and drink with you! But the most important, take care of your shoulder!
visited this site!!It's fantasic to commune with Ole-E BD! You are really the great man in sport and in usual life! 2 Андрей Арих: it's a good, very good idea to open this branch, where common sportsmen can meet persons like Ole-E BD!
