The Nordic World Ski Championships begin this week in Oslo, Norway. American Lindsey Van will be defending her title on Friday, Feb. 25. Forty-three women from 15 countries are on the start list and by all accounts they’re ready to put on a great show.
You can watch the women’s ski jumping event on Friday at www.fromsport.com at 9 a.m. (EST).
The “Ready to Fly” film crew including Bill Kerig, cinematographers Peter Pilafian, Scott Simper; camera assistant Vanessa Pierce; Producer Scott Zeller; and Executive Producer Brian Beck are in Norway filming Lindsey and her teammates. ”Ready to Fly” documents the women’s struggle to have the sport included in the Olympics – and raises issues regarding the ever-increasing participation by women and the high level of competition across the world.

Here are some links to stories about Lindsey and the team.
• Two-page spread in the Aftenposten, Norway’s national paper.
