As an extremely former Birkebeiner skier, I will share that on days like that it is customary and acceptable, even recommended, to make use of an old wool sock as a localized barrier against the cold. Plus it impresses the girls.

So it froze before it could shrink? I suppose hard is better than soft but still, I don't know HOW you guys walk around with those things!

Elaine Benes--To answer your question, sometimes it's hard, but we manage really well. Thank you for your concern.

@LP As in: I hardly knew her, or it's hard to be good? (Although, it'sw been said that it's GOT to be hard to be sponge worthy.)

“You can guess which body part was a little bit frozen when I finished (the men’s Olympic 50km race)..."

Let me get this straight (Har!) This has happened to him once before? For his suffering he finished 28th?

@Npr: YT wouldn't let me sign in because of my age. I must be too old.

Isn't having an extra pole grounds for disqualification if you're a ski jumper?

@- EB-
I tell the ladies that sometimes he can be hard-headed, stiff and pushy, but in the end you'll find he's just a big softy.

Conditions were described as frigid once he returned to the Olympic Village. And so was the weather.
