What does this even mean?
I found this on runblog.com:
"In the normal way the Diamond League programme was preceded by a normal schedule of national events. In an abnormal way, one of the events was the Junior Norwegian Snowball Championship. Yes, children (11-13 years old) throw snowballs and measure the distance to where they land. RunBlogRun commends this innovation but isn't it a winter sport if it involves snow? For the record, Eric Becklund is the 2017 Junior Norwegian Snowball Championship with a throw of 54.79 meters. In third place and first female was Malene Storoygard with 46.19 meters."
So are the snowballs standardized?

Malene Storøygard is the daughter of a friend of mine, and she will participate this year also. This is of course not a Diamond League event, in fact it is a Norwegian Championship for the youngsters. The balls weight is 150 gram.
As a curiosity I may tell that at the mountain Gaustatoppen ,close to my hometown, the national championship in snowvolleyball took place this winter. Luckily they use real balls, just playing in the snow, not very unalike beachvolleyball.
Because why the fu ck not?
are the kids drug tested? any age cheats?
