Ruka Sprint Classic PRE-COMPETITION FACTS RUKA TRIPLE, FIN Stage 1: Ladies‘ / Men‘s Sprint Classic COMPETITION COURSE Ladies: 1,4 km Men: 1,4 km Bonus seconds: WEATHER FORECAST LADIES For the 10th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2017). Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception. Falla is on 36 podium finishes in sprint World Cup events (both techniques), three more than Majdic and only trailing Bjørgen (59). Only Bjørgen (40), Majdic (20) and Bente Skari (NOR, 17) have won more sprint World Cup events than Falla (13). Ida Sargent (USA) is aiming to become the third athlete from United States to claim a sprint World Cup victory after Kikkan Randall (USA, 13) and Sophie Caldwell (USA, 1). Only Falla (8) and Nilsson (6) recorded more top-three finishes in sprint World Cup events last season than Hanna Falk (SWE, 5). Falk's last World Cup victory (all disciplines) came on 17 January 2010, when she won the sprint classic in Otepää. MEN For the 10th year in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup season (2008-2017). Norway has won nine of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style). Only Teodor Peterson (SWE) in 2011 and Nikita Kriukov (RUS) in 2012 managed to avoid Norwegian success in this span (2006-2016). Last year, Pål Golberg (NOR) won the sprint classic in Ruka on 26 November 2016, his first World Cup victory since his first-place finish in the sprint free at the 2014 3-Days Tour in Lillehammer. Golberg could become the third athlete with multiple sprint World Cup wins in Ruka after Eirik Brandsdal (NOR, 2) and Ola Vigen Hattestad (NOR, 2). Brandsdal won the last sprint classic event of the 2016/17 World Cup season in Drammen. Brandsdal has reached the podium in each of his last four sprint World Cup appearances in Ruka. Brandsdal (4) has recorded most top-three finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka ahead of Kriukov (3) and Petter Northug (NOR, 3). Brandsdal (9) could become the fifth athlete with at least 10 sprint World Cup wins (classic and free). Northug and Federico Pellegrino (ITA) are also on nine sprint World Cup victories. No athlete has won more sprint World Cup events since the start of 2011/12 than Pellegrino (9). Brandsdal is on eight wins in this span. Pellegrino is on 14 podium finishes in sprint World Cup events since 2012/13, most of all athletes in this period and one more than Brandsdal and Finn Hågen Krogh (NOR). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (NOR) recorded four top-three finishes in sprint World Cup events in 2016/17, joint most along with Sergey Ustiugov (RUS) and Finn Hågen Krogh (NOR). Klæbo claimed his first ever Word Cup podium spot in Ruka, as he recorded a third-place finish in the sprint classic event on 26 November 2016. At the age of 20 years and 35 days, Klæbo became the second youngest athlete to claim a top-three finish in an individual World Cup event (including Tour stages and overall Tour wins) after Valdimir Smirnov (USR), who was 20 years and 16 days old when he finished runner up in the 15km classic in Murmansk in 1984. On 18 February, Klæbo won the sprint free in Otepää at 20 years and 119 days old to become the youngest ever individual World Cup winner (including Tour stages and overall Tour wins). Alex Harvey (CAN) won the last sprint event (freestyle) at the World Cup Final in Quebec on 17 March. Harvey could become the first athlete from Canada with three sprint World Cup victories and seven podium spots. He currently shares both records with Devon Kershaw (CAN)..

    Fenomenet Petter Northug Konstruksjonen av en norsk idrettshelt Anders Eid Institutt for informasjons- og medievitenskap, Universitetet i Bergen Publicerad på Internet, www.idrottsforum.org/articles/eid/eid100901.html (ISSN 1652–7224), 2010–06–06 Copyright © Anders Eid 2010.

Vintern är förvisso den bästa årstiden för norsk idrott. När den norska idrottsrö- relsens bokförlag Akilles för några år sedan publicerade två volymer om Norge i sommar-OS respektive vinter-OS blev sommarboken på 324 sidor och vinterboken på 551 sidor. Norge är faktiskt överlägset mest framgångsrika nation i vinterolympia- dens historia, med 303 medaljer. Två norrmän, Bjørn Dæhlie och Ole Einar Bjørnda- len toppar därtill listan över multipla medaljörer i vinter-OS. Norge leder också mara- tontabellen över samtliga skid-VM och ligger på en hedersam sjätteplats i nations- tabellen för alpina världsmästerskap. Det finns med andra ord stor förväntan på nya framgångar inför varje ny säsong, varje nytt internationell mästerskap, förväntningar som riktas mot landslagstruppen men kanske ännu mer mot vissa enskilda fixstjär- nor. I de senaste vinterspelen, i Vancouver i år, var Petter Northug (född 1986) den enskilde idrottare som hade mest press på sig. I skid-VM i Liberec 2009 kammade Northug hem tre guld, bland annat på femmilen. Skulle han toppa det utfallet i Van- couver? Förväntningarna på den norska landslagstruppen kom till tydligt uttryck i norska medier, och medieexponeringen var särskilt stark i fallet Petter Northug.

  • Le Traitement Médiatique Des Sports D'hiver : Approche Comparée France/Pays Scandinaves
    ÉCOLE DU JOURNALISME Mastère 2 Journalisme Sportif *** LE TRAITEMENT MÉDIATIQUE DES SPORTS D’HIVER : APPROCHE COMPARÉE FRANCE/PAYS SCANDINAVES Mémoire présenté et soutenu par M. Florian Burgaud *** Année universitaire 2019/2020 REMERCIEMENTS Je remercie chaleureusement Christophe Colette qui m’a aiguillé pendant mes recherches. Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui m’ont aidé, de près ou de loin, pour la rédaction de ce mémoire. Un immense merci aux journalistes et aux autres personnes qui ont accepté de répondre à mes questions, à mes interrogations sur le traitement médiatique des sports d’hiver en France et dans les pays scandinaves. Un grand merci, donc, à tous : Nils Christian Mangelrød, Marcus Lindqvist, Viljam Brodahl, Jean-Pierre Bidet, Marc Ventouillac, Franck Lacroix, Sverker Sörlin et Nicolas Mayer. Merci aussi à Arne Idland pour son aide sur le Blink Festival. Merci à tous pour la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Merci, enfin, à l’École Du Journalisme de Nice de m’avoir permis d’écrire ce mémoire sur un sujet s’insérant parfaitement dans mon projet professionnel. 1 RÉSUMÉ Lors de chaque édition des Jeux olympiques d’hiver, les audiences mesurées par Médiamétrie sont incroyablement élevées – jusqu’à 16 millions de personnes en 1992 pour le programme court féminin de patinage artistique. En partant du constat que les Français aiment les sports d’hiver mais qu’ils sont quasiment invisibles dans le paysage médiatique, à part le biathlon depuis quelques années, nous avons réalisé une approche comparée avec le traitement que les médias scandinaves font des sports d’hiver. Là-bas, les fondeurs et les hockeyeurs, notamment, sont de véritables stars traquées par les journalistes et les sports blancs font la une des journaux toute l’année.

  • FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to Host World's Elite Cross
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to host world’s elite cross-country skiers again in 2019 and 2020 Quebec City, Friday, October 6, 2017 – News doesn’t get any fresher than this! With the annual FIS (International Ski Federation) Technical Committee and FIS Cross-Country Committee meetings still underway in Zurich, it has just been confirmed that the FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals will be coming back to Canada in March 2019 and 2020. “It’s a huge step forward for Quebec City to cement its place on the calendar for two years in a row, said FIS Race Director Pierre Mignerey. “We should stress, though, that the entire race calendars for both years are subject to FIS Council approval this November.” All bets, therefore, are on the world’s elite cross-country skiers taking the Plains of Abraham by storm from March 22 to 24, 2019. “The format of the 2020 event is yet to be confirmed, but the 2019 competition will be the same as what we saw in March this year,” added Gestev President, Patrice Drouin from his seat at the FIS meetings. That means it’s going to be all hands on deck for Quebec Winter Events Corporation and event producer Gestev in the next few months as preparation begins for these world-class events. The most recent FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals attracted more than 60,000 people to Quebec City’s Plains of Abraham in March 2017 and the event was voted the top stop on the World Cup circuit last season, according to an FIS survey.

  • Northug Chanslös Mot Jönsson I Oslo
    2011-02-23 10:33 CET NORTHUG CHANSLÖS MOT JÖNSSON I OSLO Det har gått bra för Emil Jönsson denna säsong vilket gör honom till en av favoriterna då längd-VM avgörs i Oslo. Jönsson som har vunnit tre fristilslopp i sprint i vinter spelas till 4,50 gånger pengarna. Dock hävdar den alltid så kaxige Northug att upploppet i Holmenkollen passar norrmännen bättre, men efter utklassningen i Drammen kan han väl inte säga annat. Markus Hellner har det mycket spelbara oddset 26,00 och på damsidan hittar vi det största svenska guldhoppet, Charlotte Kalla. Svenskan spelas till fyra gånger pengarna att hon tar ett individuellt guld. 1,72 är oddset om hon lyckas ta ett guld inklusive stafetter. Dock lutar det åt att Marit Bjørgen blir mästerskapens drottning och hon har chansen att ta hem storslam. ”Emil Jönsson har sett bra ut en tid, jag är dock orolig för att han har prickat formen för tidigt och inte kan leverera under VM. Hur som helst så har kampen om gulden börjat!” säger Andreas Gillberg, Ladbrokes Nordenchef. Aktuella odds – Längdåkning VM Herrar Emil Jönsson 4,50 Alexey Petukhov 4,50 Ola Vigen Hattestad 4,50 Petter Northug 7,00 Anders Gloersen 7,00 Eirik Brandsdal 11,00 Nikolay Morilov 21,00 Fedorico Pellegrini 26,00 Markus Hellner 26,00 Jesper Modin 31,00 Damer Marit Bjørgen 3,00 Kickan Randall 3,50 Petra Majdic 6,00 Arianna Follis 7,00 Maiken Caspersen Falla 9,00 Hanna Falk 14,00 Charlotte Kalla 21,00 Vesna Fabjan 21,00 Celine Brun-Lie 31,00 Ida Ingemarsdotter 31,00 För mer information: http://sports.ladbrokes.com/sv- se/Vintersport/L%C3%A4ngdskid%C3%A5kningVintersport/L%C3%A4ngdskid %C3%A5kning-t210003608 Se även vår blogg på http://blogg.ladbrokes.se för mer nyheter och information från Ladbrokes.
