Onko sinulla tietoa siitä millainen paikka Lahden kisamonttu oli ennen kun sitä tehtiin nykyinen Urheilukeskus? Se oli puumäkineen tunnelmaltaan selvästi toisenlainen. Vaan näitä muistojani toki värittää tietysti myös se, että olin silloin nuori koulupoika ja kaikenlaiset asiat olivat uutta ja kiinnostavaa.

@@just42tube En ole tietoinen mutta olen nähnyt kuvia ja videot. Paljon on muutunut vuosien takana. Ja varmasti tulevaisuus tulee lisää muuttoksia kun teknologia kehitty pikku hilja. Oppimme matkalla. Varma kun meidän lapset on aikuisia asiat on toiselaista, siiten ne näkee miten asiat ja paikkat kehityvät. Hope i tried in Finnish to explain something🫣

@@Ilona_Ke Tässä tapauksessa kehitys ei ole ollut yksinomaan positiivista. Salpausselän kisat olivat aikoina selvemmin Lahden alueen ja hiihtoseuran kisat ilman niin suurta kaupallisuutta. Se oli kansainvälinen kisa, mutta vahvemmin paikallisiin ihmisiin sitoutunut. Nyt tapahtuma kuten myös ammattiurheilu ovat etääntyneet urheiluviihteen teollisuuteen kauemmaksi tavallista ihmisistä.

It is true girls and women do cycling also. The environment i grow up in cycling was mostly for men and boys. I am glad that now it is for everyone and everyone is encouraged to learn new skills. I learnt to cycle when i was an adult already but very much glad that we have young girls and ladies cycling and winning. When i come to Finland i was amused and challanged to see how almost everyone knews how to cycle👌.
