Beklager, dårlig journalistikk
I det opprinnelige EM innlegg la jeg, Steffen Haukedalen, for mye og urettferdig vekt på klasse inndeling, antall og avvikling av dette. Dette satte utøvere i NKKO dårlig lys, og de ble fremstilt feilaktig. Alle utøver skal ha full respekt for deltagelse alltid overalt. Dette var feil og jeg beklager.
Dette gikk spesielt utover to av de beste utøvere vi har hatt på herresiden på kryss av alle organisasjoner den siste tiden: Björn Eirik Orstad og Eivind Nærland.
NKO har ingen ansvar for dette, kun jeg, Steffen haukedalen.
Innlegget er selvsagt redigert, og med en merknad på dette. intensjonen var å belyse en organisatorisk trend vi ser i verden, noe jeg burde latt være.

Are you dedicated?
“Even if the body deteriorates, the heart stays the same”
We often hear about dedicated people, and let ourselves be admired and motivated by them. In modern times, one can possibly say that there is a significant difference between true dedication and assumed dedication. This has probably always been the case. But due to the pressure from appearing perfect on social media, a strong factor is that you want to appear somewhat more dedicated than you really are. Especially among younger people, one can imagine. We take a look at someone one fore sure can call dedicated – and the most interesting things: how they mindset make this happen.
