The Junior WC is now over. A total of 5000 cheering spectators have visited Valberget Ski Stadium during five successful days of competition, in varied weather conditions — from biting cold and snowfall to bright sunshine days. 30 nations participated in this ski-event at Valberget. An estimated 8000 guest-nights have been generated in and around Torsby. Our own Swedish junior star Ingela Andersson added a large portion of extra excitement with her two very well deserved silver medals. We wish her all luck in the future.
