Host Norway is ready to go...!
Also the actives of the host are armed, waiting for the fierce competiton. The 13 members of the Norwegian team met 3 weeks ago for the last common training-camp, after most of them had been in Taunusstein at the international training camp, 5 weeks ago (GYMmedia report from April 16).
For the first time a male active of Norway will compete at the world-championships. Tor Olav Kjellberg will concentrate on the discipline 'vault' at his first world-championships

Norwegian Medals hopes...
Five more female gymnasts will have their premiere at world-championships. Among the rest of the team, there are some well-known actives, who are reaching for the medals, e. g. Lena Bertelsen, gold-medalist in the junior's class in 1999, discipline 'vault' and Lin-Veronica Samuelsen, who is living and studying in Cologne/Germany since a few years. If the Norwegian gymnasts can profit of the home field advantage will be seen, as most of them have a long travel - like the other delegations. Trude Linvolden is the only gymast of the 'Oppland Gymastik- og Turnkres, wherefore the fans in Lillehammer will keep her fingers crossed especially for her.

The Norwegian team is hoping to repeat its success of the last world-championships 2001 in Switzerland, where it became Vice-Worldchampion with the team.
