Ethiopian skier Robel Teklemariam clocked in 11 minutes and 42 seconds after Italian Dario Cologna who finished 1st in yesterdays cross country for men in the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Robel beat competitors from Peru and Portugal. The best Norwegian placement in the race was Tor Asle Gjerdalen finishing 28tth. Favourite Petter Northug ended up on a disappointing 41st place.
www.norway.org.et will follow Robel Teklemariam in his endeavours in cross-country-skiing for Ethiopia. This is a sport native to Norway, and it warms our heart to see Ethiopia being represented in the sport.
Melkam Edel, Good luck and Lykke til, Robel!
