Silje, Vilde And Their 50k/day Rollerski Vacation Across Denmark

" Just living is not enough, says the butterfly in the short Hans Christian Andersen's tale , one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Meet Silje Vasvåg and Vilde Hammernes Pedersen, two urbanite millennials from Oslo who decided to experience Denmark in a very unusual way. " Vilde and I had worked together for some time, and went skiing on our time off at the season opening at Beitostølen. We found out that we loved to work out together, and so we decided to do a training camp upcoming summer. But it had to be something with skiing. Therefore we decided on visiting a country on rollerskis. From there we started to think about how we could make it a bit more complicated...." And complicated they did: "…

How SRB Wheels Are Produced

Newsfeed

This is Lisa and she operates 5-axis CNC milling machine by DMG Mori Seiki. Yes, it's as fancy as it sounds and is used for manufacturing very complex pieces for aerospace and medical equipment markets. That's exactly what Lisa is doing now: programming the machine to produce an alloy piece for aircraft maker, complexity of which defies imagination. You'd be very, very pleased to learn that once the aerospace order is complete, the next batch in shall be hubs for rollerski wheels. Because we are at the SRB plant in Zella-Mehlis where two thirds of output is for customers in aerospace, automotive and medical industry, with summer skis of own construction making up the remaining third.

At Least One Rollerski Maker Is Willing To Answer Most Indecent Question In Industry!

Newsfeed

....The most indecent question one could ask a rollerski maker is "who supplies your wheels?" Answers often range from evasive to almost mythical - by same very people, who are happy to extol the virtue of their respective frame constructions in minute detail. No blame - in business one often has to choose effective solutions rather than technologically appealing. Still, transparency is a factor and there are , luckily, exceptions among manufacturers. At SRB you get a straightforward answer: "When it comes to our Premium line, hubs we forge here, at Zella-Mehlis, while the rubber comes from Continental tyre maker and the molding is done at their facility not far from here in Magdeburg " . Well, now you know!

Leaders, Money & Finance, Newsfeed

No huge surprises there: Alex Bolshunov leads in every chart with Johannes Klaebo not far behind. The rest of the world's elite skiers seems to have odds ranging from fairly low to purely theoretical. Yet there are some differences: [caption id="attachment_16110" align="alignnone" width="1600"] British Unibet puts Pål Golberg 3d and gives pure distance runners Kruger and Roethe something of chance. Note Ustyugov's 7th place...[/caption] [caption id="attachment_16111" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Italian Sisal gives Niskanen a fighting chance but Ustyugov is nowhere to be found. Human error?[/caption] [caption id="attachment_16112" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Norwegian NordicBet, however, catapults Ustiugov to 3d place and seriously doubts SkiTour 2020 winner's Golberg chances[/caption] Unlike all of us, fans and observers, them bookies deal in mathematically proven odds. We hardly can fault their analysis. Can you?

Newsfeed

She's done it! Therese Johaug's 10000m run was billed as the headline event at the Impossible Games in Olso ( normally known as the Bislett Games) The reigning FIS World Cup winner did not disappoint: running alone on the empty stadium she stopped the clock at 31.40.69. That's the best result in the world this year so far - well, with not many athletics competitions happening at the times of Coronavirus. That's also better than qualifying time for the Athletics World Championships (31.50), but worse than the one for the Olympics (31.25). In comparison, the great Norwegian Ingrid Kristianssen once set her then-world record at the same stadium: 30:13.74 . That was in 1986. The current WR is held by Almaz Ayana: 29:17.45 One important note: all the records at…
