Sondre Norheim's grave in Denbigh.

Reidun Major Holm, the great great granddaughter of Sondre Norheim, is laying the wreath on Sondre's grave.

"I have the greatest respect for what Sondre Norheim has done for the sport of skiing. Being here on the prairie where Sondre lived, is a very special experience for me. I think what an effort and challenge it must have been for him to start all over again in a new country at his age, over 60 years old". This is what the President and CEO of Lillehammer Olympic Organization Committee, Gerhard Heiberg, said in his speech in Denbigh in 1992.
