Preview Ladies' 3-Days Tour Lillehammer - 30 Nov-2 Dec 2018 Preview ladies' 3-Days Tour Lillehammer - 30 Nov-2 Dec 2018 • Charlotte Kalla won last year's 3-Days Tour to become the first ever non- Norwegian winner of the opening mini tour in Ruka or Lillehammer. Therese Johaug triumphed in 2015 and Heidi Weng took the number one spot in 2016. • Three of the last four winners of the 3-Days Tour went on to win the overall World Cup title that season. In that run only Kalla in 2017/18 failed to claim the overall World Cup despite winning the opening mini tour. • Norway has claimed 17 of all 24 podium spots in 3-Days Tour history (71%). Only Sweden (4), Poland (2) and Finland (1) also managed to record a top-three finish in the competition. • Norway had at least two athletes on the podium in seven of the eight editions of the 3-Days Tour. • Weng is the only athlete to have reached the podium in both previous 3- Days Tours held in Lillehammer. Weng won the 2016 edition and finished in third place in 2014. • Jessica Diggins and Sadie Bjornsen are both hoping to become the first ever non-European winner of one of the Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada). • Krista Pärmäkoski, fourth in last season's Tour de Ski, could become the second Tour winner from Finland after 2006/07 and 2008/09 Tour de Ski champion and 2007/08 World Cup Final winner Virpi Kuitunen. • Pärmäkoski, compatriot Anne Kyllönen and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg are the only athletes to have appeared in all 23 Tours since the start of 2010/11 (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada). • Østberg has even participated in each of the last 24 Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada), the longest active run. • Stefanie Böhler has appeared in a record 28 (out of a possible 30) Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada) and in seven of the eight 3-Days Tours (not in 2013/14). • Weng (98) can make her 100th Tour stage appearance in Lillehammer (3- Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada) to become the 14th athlete to reach this milestone. Preview Men's 3-Days Tour Lillehammer - 30 Nov-2 Dec 2018 • The eight 3-Days Tours (Ruka and Lillehammer) have been won by just four different athletes. Martin Johnsrud Sundby (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016) has claimed a record four victories, Petter Northug is on two wins (2011 and 2012), while Alexander Legkov (2010) and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (2017) both won once. • Sundby, second in the 2017 edition, has claimed a competition high five overall podium finishes in the 3-Days Tour.

Klæbo won the sprint classic and the 15km classic in last year's edition. • Norwegian athletes have won 12 of the last 15 Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada). Only Bolshunov (2017/18 World Cup Final), Dario Cologna (2017/18 Tour de Ski) and Sergey Ustiugov (2016/17 Tour de Ski) avoided Norwegian success in this span (2013-2018). • Only Sundby (8) has won more Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada) than Cologna (6). Colonga's tally of 13 Tour podium finishes is a joint-record.

    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.
