Dear all,
So, last Friday the relocation of our editorial offices were consummated, and this morning wifi was installed and tested and, as this letter shows, it works beautifully. We are still in a state of flux, but we expect publishing to be restored to normal levels during the week.
So, last Friday the relocation of our editorial offices were consummated, and this morning wifi was installed and tested and, as this letter shows, it works beautifully. We are still in a state of flux, but we expect publishing to be restored to normal levels during the week.Last week was anything but normal, with only two items published on idrottsforum.org (see below; language and publication dates, YYMMDD, in brackets). Click on the red headings to go to content. Utilize the Google Translate service to turn Scandinavian language pages into (some sort of) English.
And remember, if you’re not already hooked up to one of the social media outlets that we utilize, for now they are Facebook, Bluesky, LinkedIn and X, you’re missing quite a lot of information from idrottsforum.org that never appears on the website. So, if that is the case, check out, by clicking on the names, our Facebook, Bluesky, LinkedIn and X accounts.
Have a great week,

The lived and intersubjective gendered body in sport encounters: An example from cross-country skiing
In this article, Gunn Engelsrud and Birgit Nordtug use the practice of well-known sport psychologist Britt Tajet-Foxell to elaborate on and theorize about how relationships become sources of embodied and verbalized knowing. As research material they chose a sample of media texts portraying collaboration between Tajet-Foxell and the Norwegian cross-country skier and the highly decorated winter Olympian, Marit Bjørgen. The selected media texts were analyzed to highlight the knowledge created in the dialectic relationship between the sport psychologist and the athlete. (Published in English 251203.
