Drammen 10/15km Classic: North Americans

I’m not going to spend much time on this topic, since obviously it wasn’t a great day for the North Americans, but we can at least put a few of the results in some sort of context using my new-fangled graph, starting with some of the men: I’m sticking with the folks who’ve done more […]
