«Frankrike» is how we say France in Norwegian. Directly translated it means Frank Kingdom. Frank is short for «frankere» which is what we called the people who settled/took over when the roman empire fell and formed what we now know as france.
To err is human, but drunk driving is one of the things most Norwegians have a very strong moral opinion about. Drinking is fine, but don't get behind the wheel - and you certainly shouldn't leave an injured person behind! When Norway still was able to forgive Northug, it is probably because he was so much loved before he failed. He was not only an amazing cross-country skier who performed the most insane sprints we had ever seen, he was also a happy-go-lucky boy who created life and excitement around him. He was far from perfect as a person, he did and said things that made the infallible frown, and people loved it! He was a great charmer and, as you can see, very popular not only with the ladies, but also with the men. He certainly loved the attention, but I think people realized that he was only human after all, like the rest of us. When he managed to get up after the fade, many probably gained even more respect for the strength he had, not only physically but also mentally. It probably also helped that the friend who was injured in the accident voluntarily got behind the wheel - he was injured, but no more injured than he was involved in deceiving the police.
Last week I was in the audience when they filmed one of the upcoming episodes of Ylvis mot Ylvis. It was really fun, and to experience it live gives you the possibility to hear and see all the jokes they tell each other that is not shown on TV. 😆
He got his drivers license back (for life usually means 5 years). Then in 2020 he got stopped in a control. They suspected driving under the influence, but bloodtests didn't show anything. They did search where he lived due to suspicion of being under the influence, and did find a small amount of cocaine. He later admitted that he had a substance-issue and that he did indeed drive in 168km/h in a 110-limit zone. He was also recording his driving, overtakes and commenting on it while recording, and sending to friends. He got a 7 month prison sentence, and lost his drivers license for "life" (5 new years). It came out that he had gone way over the speed limit numerous times. 203km/h where the limit was 80. Two days later he did 204 km/h in another 80-limit area. The next day he was recorded multiple times over 200km/h, with the top speed being 221km/h. Then later that day he got caught doing 168km/h, all this also where the speed limit was 80.
"Hey, do I know this guy"? DUDE! You didn't even recognize Bjarte!! 😂😂😂 And they all got the long nose because that's a Northug trait. They all got long noses 😂
@@NordicReactions Bjarte is in all of these episodes, somtimes in several parts. You could make it a challenge if you want, the spot Bjarte challenge.😂
Nei means No Valg means Choice The movie you mentioned is called 'Kongens Nei' in Norwegian (The King's No), but in English it's called 'The King's Choice' (Kongens Valg). Idk why it's named or translated like it is
I think I know why. Norwegians probably know the story and have learnt about his decision during history classes. The rest of the world doesn't know! So, having "the king's choice" as the title avoids giving a major spoiler and keeps the movie more suspenseful, making the stakes higher. 😄
@@NordicReactions It does make sense, I personally never learned about it. But I am starting to realize my school experience was not the norm and people were actually taught this in school. I am learning it myself now through TH-cam thanks to reactors like you😅
December is like... Just put extremely in front of every word you'd use to describe norway(s climate). Example: - Extremely cold - Extremely dark - Extremely beautiful etc, etc
@@NordicReactionsDecember isnt the coldest month usually though. Its often colder in January/February, and its not always snow in December. It depends on where in Norway you’ll travel to. Its cold in winter, but not always freezing cold. The average winter temperature in Norway is about -6.8, almost the same as at the coldest in New York in winter. There are local differences though and the climate varies greatly from region to region in this long country. Along the coast, temperatures usually stay around zero degrees Celsius. Inland, the temperatures are mostly lower and might sink down to 10-20 degrees below zero Celsius. Some places can even experience a bone chilling minus 40 degrees Celsius! Some winters are colder than others though. Winters are usually from December to Feb/March.
@@NordicReactions Winter temperatures in Bergen typically hover around 0 degrees Celsius, with occasional dips below freezing. The lowest recorded temperature in recent years was about -9.7 degrees Celsius in March 2023. Bergen is known for its wet weather. December sees significant rainfall, with precipitation often falling as rain rather than snow, although snowfall can occur, particularly in the surrounding mountains. While the city itself may not be heavily blanketed in snow, the nearby mountains often receive more substantial snowfall, making them ideal for winter sports. Winter in Bergen can feel like a fairytale with its picturesque landscapes, but it also requires preparation for wet and potentially cold conditions. Visitors are encouraged to dress in layers and bring waterproof gear to fully enjoy what the city and its surroundings have to offer during this enchanting season
@@NordicReactions You may not be able to experience real Norwegian winter in Bergen, because of the mild climate (comparatively). It won't be very far inland to see snow covered mountains from there, though. Voss or Geilo is only a few hours away by train, and the winter train ride is an experience in and of itself.
This story was and still is one of the biggest scandals in Norwegian sports history. Petter Northug was to us, as you say, what Verstappen is to the Netherlands. If people asked you to mention famous Norwegians, he would be the first choice. When this happened, I think most people thought he didn't take accountability, because he immediately went into hiding and went completely silent. Looking back, at least I, see that he did in fact take accountability for his actions. He served his time, and he tried to find a solution where he could coexist with the Norwegian society and help other skiers become among the top skiers in the world. 17:20 - Losing your license "for life" in Norway isn't really for life - you can apply to the police to take the drivers test again after 5 years, and it's pretty much just a formality, as they rarely, if ever, reject such an application.
Is he still well regarded today? Also, I don't understand the "life" sentences if it's not for "life" 😅. I think it's the same here in the UK, there's a cap to limit the years people should serve the sentence or penalty
@@NordicReactions still well regarded and still making headlines. Last year he made an another impressive comeback winning silver in the team sprint with his brother in the national championship, only beaten by Klæbo who is undisputed as the GOAT of sprint competitions. And when he this summer announced that he’s going to start in the National Opening of the season in november he’s been in the papers weekly, even with celebrities calling for him to get a wildcard to the World Championship in 2025 which is being held like half a mile from where he lived and crashed😅 won’t happen i think, but i must admit it would be fun to see Klæbo and Northug in the team sprint in Trondheim together. But as the national head coach said; «Petter is welcome in the WC, we could always use more people to maintain the skitracks in Trondheim»🤭
He is very talented, and he did get help for his addiction. He was very open about this, and I think many people love and respect him even more than they did prior to the scandal.
Ylvis has been pretty forgiving in their commentary so far, so I thought it interesting that they were not as forgiving in this. Not that I think they are wrong. Someone actually got hurt, escaping the scene, lying to the police, and really trying to weasel himself out of it before he had no other choice but to take accountability. But at the end of the day, he took accountability, but he was forced into it. If Petter did not bring back gold I doubt as many would be as forgiving😅 So I personally think Ylvis is completely fair in their commentary
same it was such an irresponsible thing to do and someone really could've gotten hurt. it doesnt help he had another offense after this was made. even if hes changed nowadays he still made terrible decisions prior that will follow him for the rest of his life and if he doesnt like that then he shouldnt have been stupid
He got his driver license back, though lost it agein in 2020 driving speed at 127mph (204km/h) while filming his own driving, and he had 6grams of cocain on him :p
I couldn’t remember what he did the second time. So he drove like a mad man that time too. He should never have gotten his license back. I hope it’s gone forever now.
its stupid if u think about it. you would never drunk drive if u have just drunken a bit. its when you are heavily drunk u are thas dumb. i have to admit i did the ame 30 years ago. drinking home made 90 prosent.had almost 2 .and drove. u are not in right mind aqtually. glad he is back as how we know him🥰
Drink driving in Norway is almost as bad as murder it seems. In the UK the drunk limit is 0.8, meaning you can drink a pint or two at the pub and still drive home, as of course British people do all the time, no one really judge you or say much if you drink beer of wine with a meal to drive home with your family in the car, but in Norway, being so extreme about it it’s shunned. Still, I have looked at the statistics of drink driving and people dying in traffic accidents in the UK vs Norway and the statistics is not worse in the UK at all. Even when I point out this to Norwegians they refuse to accept it. In Norway to get wine and liquor you have to go to special shops, in the UK you can get it even in the local petrol station, when you tell Norwegians this they still does not accept that they should give up the special shop system. I guess that’s extremism for you. I am happy I live in a less extreme country.
In my country, there is a zero tolerance law. Even if you have a rum chocolate and it reads above 0.02%, you are fined. If it's above 0.06%, you to to prison. 😅
