Remember the day Norway stood still, basking in the glow of a fiery sunset painted by the triumph over Brazil in the '98 World Cup? That same spirit of victory courses through our latest conversation as we explore the cultural fabric of Norwegian sports, stitching together the tales of football fervor and the hallowed tradition of cross-country skiing. Our guest peels back the layers of national pride, illustrating how a single game against a football titan can spark an enduring legacy that ripples through generations. From the streets of Oslo to the snowy forests where skis glide as if by ancient instinct, we traverse the landscape of a nation's heart and its beat that echoes in every victory, big or small.
