Oslo is always worth a visit! And when I'm here for work—this weekend my team and I are responsible for track maintenance at the World Cup—a visit to the legendary Ski Museum at Holmenkollen is always worthwhile. It sits unassumingly right beneath the inrun of the mighty ski jumping hill that towers high above Oslo.

Between preparations, I like to take the opportunity to visit the museum. It's a special feeling to stroll through the exhibition and finally stand in front of my own track module, prominently displayed on the wall.

I remain extremely grateful and proud that my work is also immortalized here. The track module is exactly the same as the one installed at the famous Holmenkollen, just a few meters above. Thinking about it fills me with a certain amount of pride. My work usually takes place behind the scenes and is hardly noticed by most spectators.

While the competition rages outside and the athletes hurl themselves daringly down the hill, I see in the museum how precisely this work has become part of the history of Nordic skiing. The visit serves as a reminder of how crucial a perfectly prepared track is for a fair competition.

For me, this moment is more than just a quick museum visit. It's a wonderful affirmation of the work that I and many others invest day in and day out in maintaining the ski jumping hills and competition venues.

Together, we're writing a piece of history.

Yours sincerely, Peter Riedel
