Tribute to Bjørn Dæhlie at the ISPO show 2008

[gjerstad85]

absolute top man.

[MrNollKoll]

The one and only !



[ishockeyfrilla]

hell yeah my name is bjorn

[heathey2]

Of all time!

Dahlie was just incredible. The man was a Cross Country Colossal. When he hugged that skier who finished last it was one of the finest examples of sportsmanship you will ever see. So powerful a gesture that the athlete "boit" named his child after Dahlie. His opponents shook with fear when the Nannestad express was breathing down their necks. His ice cool aura and timeless goggles have become images in the history books.

What a real Legend!

[FrkPedersen1991]

@sm4wit Not one of the biggest.. He was the best! :D

[bodypowr]

The gold on 50km in Nagano in 1998 shows what an amazing will to win he had.

[taffelost]

[Floramannen]

The King of cross country skiing. Noone can ever replace the moments Bjørn gave to Norway.

We had several great x-country athletes during the 90's. But I guess you refer to Thomas Alsgaard.

Thomas Alsgaard is the second most winning norwegian in cross country.

[pmgolfman22]

Vegard Ulvang and Thomas Alsgaard were great

[seahog32]

The ultimate athlete! If I remember correctly Bjørn had the highest VO2max values ever recorded in man.

BTW can anybody tell me what was the name of the Norwegian skier who had dominated in x-country skiing before Bjørn? I can't remember his name. There were 3 big names in the tracks in the 1990's, Dæhlie, Smirnov and that other guy...

[DannielPL]

Vegard Ulvang

[seahog32]

yeah, i've already googled alberville and lillehammer results and found out...he was not a match for bjorn but still he used to be my childhood hero...funny that i forgot his name

thanks anyways

[GardEngebretsen]

@seahog32 Yeah, Dæhlie recorded an astounding 96 in VO2 max back in 1996 (off season though) - in comparison, Miguel Indurain, five time Tour de France winner, had 92 in VO2max. Pretty crazy.. :P

[dilmao]

We love you Bjørn! Thank you:)
