Should we have a lower-level thread as well?

It could include Norwegian races, NorAm Cup, National Championships, etc?

 

Also there normally is a Youth thread correct?

With a vastly bigger diversity and a lot of cool fights in the back of the pack, where one sees athletes you don't generally see on TV again and again. 

 

Plus I feel like the atmosphere is possibly more relaxed there, out of the spotlights. I like out of the spotlights
