FIS Nordic World Ski Championships

The Nordic World Championships in Holmenkollen Oslo Norway 2011 are over. I`ve been lucky to be a apart of this event up close, taking pictures for skiforeningen.no. It has been a great event, and a good experience for me as a photographer. These are my pick outs:
