mister-gs Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Salomon Boot Story: Marcus Hellner (SWE) came by for a visit the day prior to the 30km Pursuit, He was having sizing issues with his new boots – they were a bit too big. Unfortunately, we didn’t have his size (8US) ‘in stock’ so we took a 7.5 and increased it to an 8...The following day he won GOLD on those same boots! The day before the final event – the men’s 50km Classic race, Johan Olsson (SWE) bumped his big toe on some stairs, causing swelling. In training, he realized that the boots were irritating his injury...After a late night boot retrieval mission from the athletes’ village, we modified his classic boots to provide more room around the toe and alleviate the pressure – He picked up his boots at 8am, and went on to win Olympic Bronze! http://www.salomonracing.com/hu/insiders/nordic/article.html?id=1540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
