We are extremely proud to be the first city to achieve this record. To celebrate our unique history, we decided to name the event the Centenary Championships. The Centenary Championships are both an exciting and carefully prepared world-class sports event and one of the festivities that celebrate the centenary of Finland’s independence. A rare occasion for us Finns – and hopefully for our international guests. Lahti offers an optimal setting for record-breaking performances. The traditional venue has undergone extensive renovation and is now a fully functioning stadium that meets today’s requirements. We are also proud to have Vierumäki Olympic Training Center as our athlete’s village that allows the athletes to unwind and focus all their energy on performing at their best. We hope that the 2017 World Championships will leave their mark on future decades of sports events in Lahti and in Finland. The event has gained a great deal of popularity among young people, and we will soon have a new generation of volunteers for sports events.

The original publication is available at www.idunn.no: http://www.idunn.no/ts/nmt Journalisters syn på samarbeidet med den norske OL-troppen under vinterlekene i Vancouver 2010 Dag Vidar Hanstad, Norges idrettshøgskole og Eivind Skille, Høgskolen i Hedmark Olympiske leker er en gigantisk begivenhet som viser hvordan idrett og media lever i et gjensidig avhengighetsforhold. Idrettsutøvernes prestasjoner formidles av journalister og fotografer som på den måten bidrar til å gjøre mange medaljevinnere til attraktive sponsorobjekter. I denne artikkelen ser vi på denne relasjonen, nærmere bestemt hvordan norske journalister oppfattet samarbeidsforholdet til den norske troppen under de olympiske vinterleker i Vancouver 2010. Innledning Idrett og media lever i en symbiose (Helland 2003). Begge har nytte, og er avhengig, av samspillet med den andre (Toohey og Veal 2007). På den ene siden er toppidretten avhengig av media fordi den lever av sin publisitet. På den andre siden er media avhengig av toppidretten fordi media lever av sine historier om idrettskonkurransenes prestasjoner, idrettspolitiske konflikter og utfordringer, og utøveres privatliv.

Det er formet g jennom århundrer. Og mer enn det. Det bærer vitnesbyrd om våre verdier. Idrettsglede. Fellesskap. Helse. Ærlighet. Sporet er formet av ski og snø. Uadskillelig fra vår nasjonale identitet. Det er en del av vår kulturarv. En del av vår folkesjel. Sporet ligger der. Det går g jennom by og land. Det fører utover i landskapet og innover i sjelen. Det ligger der om vi søker bakkens yrende liv eller naturens stillhet. 4 Det ligger der for alle. For store og små, for gammel og ung. For de som vil vinne og for de som bare vil fryde seg. Sporet er fylt av skiglede. Uten skigleden, ingen skisport. Ingen vinnere på jakt etter gull. Ingen tilskuere langs løypene. Ingen turgåere i skog og mark. Ingen barn i bakkene. Det ligger et spor foran oss. Også i de neste århundrer vil vi se det fylt av mange skiløpere. Gode skiløpere. Glade skiløpere. Som setter spor etter seg.
