Andrew Musgrave has been having an oustanding week at the Norwegian championships, on Thursday he came in second place against a field of Norway’s best skiers including Peter Northug. This has caused considerable consternation and soul searching in the Norwegian press.  Read more about this at the BNDS website. Apparently BBC sport were not interested in this story although they were aware of it!

On Saturday Andrew continued his excellent form with a 5th place in the Norwegian Championships 30km Skiathlon. Lying 21st after the classic leg he skied the 3rd fastest skate time to pull back to 5th overall.
