Best articles of the inside-story of the Lillehammer Games
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Author Hesselberg writes as a news journalist from Madison, Wisconsin. These are his finest collection of pieces of the '94 Winter Games; most written from Lillehammer during the two weeks of the games.It's greatest emphasis is on what happens behind the scenes. For human interest stories and tidbits of trivia, it would be difficult, if not impossible to beat. It's what we would notice had we been there in February 1994. Lots of neat stories, street activity, town buzz, rumors and inside the press center w/Hesselberg. A typical author reporting would be of Hesselberg telling us of the Norwegian responsible for periodically removing the porta-johnny's 50lbs. of frozen human waste from the top of the downhill run and skiing with it downhill for ultimate disposal. Too, told in the finest upper-midwest manner. Keeps the Winter spirit alive all year. Good book. Some images and photos.
