Lillehammer

Best known for hosting the 1994 Winter Olympic Games, Lillehammer is a quiet and attractive small town at the head of Lake Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake. It was a pleasant place to spend a day or so, very walkable and low key. The Norwegian Olympic Museum is a good place to start. It isn’t huge but tells well the story of the Olympic Games from Ancient Greece through to the modern day, before…

The Teddy Bear Man 

On September 12, 1992, hunters at a point called Falkenuten located in Norway's Hardangervidda national park discovered a skeleton at around 1,200 meters above sea level. The police arrived and began their investigation. The skeleton belonged to a very slim person aged 22-27. No cause of death could be adequately determined based on the remains, but the police believed the decedent to be an inexperienced hiker who got lost and strayed from the beaten path before freezing to death. The police reached this conclusion due to their belongings not belonging to an experienced hiker and based on the weather during the past 2 years, which were noted to be bad. The police ruled that the decedent had died in the summer of 1991 but possibly as early the summer of 1992 and as late as 1990. The remains were examined and the anthropologist who examined the body was unable to determine the decedent's gender as their hipbones corresponded to that of a woman while the skull was more similar to a male. The professor made a recreation of the decedent's face, which was shown in Norwegian newspapers, making it the first time in Norway such an action was taken. The professor found nothing indicating a homicide or suicide, and it was determined that they likely froze to death. Examinations of their teeth showed that he had amalgam fillings, with laboratory results showing they were older fillings possibly made in Sweden.

The decedent's belongings consisted of a 1,000 Norwegian Krone banknote which was first circulated in 1991, multiple plastic bags containing rye bread, baking powder, small wine bottles and water bottles as well as other provisions all of which originated from Germany with the bags having German writing on them, a road map of Southern Norway which had been purchased at Storgata in Norway's capital Oslo, the ground near the decedent's discovery was found to be trampled leading police to believe the map may have been used to set up a makeshift tent. The last item of note was a makeshift teddy bear 35 cm tall which was very aged but frequently repaired. The teddy bear is what led to the decedent being named "Teddybjørn-mannen"

The decedent was wearing Levis Jeans, a brown leather jacket, a pullover made by German brand S. Oliver, hiking boots and a poncho which had been purchased in either Hamburg or Munich, Germany. The police also believed that like many other foreigners in the area they may have brought a backpack with them but no such item was ever found and was likely scavenged by local wildlife as their clothing and remains had at some point prior been chewed on by animals. These findings only strengthen the police's belief that they were an inexperienced hikeror foreign national as the mutable water bottles the decedent packed with them added unnecessary weight despite the water in the national park being safe for human consumption. The police found a handful of eyewitnesses who reported seeing a German man walking in the opposite direction or riding a bike, but their sightings have never been substantiated.

The decedent's case was reopened in 2022 and their DNA was retested with modern equipment, which ascertained the decedent's gender as male. Norwegian police also sent the man's information to Germany's Bundeskriminalamt and Interpol, but no matches were obtained.

After the TV show Åsted Norge aired a special about the case in the Spring of 2022, a German national came forward recalling having seen an episode of the German talk show Fliege in 1998 where a female guest talked about how her son went missing vacationing in Norway. Despite this, the TV station couldn't find any records and the host Jürgen Fliege couldn't recall such an episode. No one in Germany has come forward to report missing relatives in Norway who could match the decedent.

Sentrumsterminalen i Bodø skal fornyes

Sentrumsterminalen i Bodø ligger i Storgata 3 og er bindeleddet mellom hurtigbåter, ferjer, jernbane, taxi og busser i Bodø. Utebyggene på Sentrumsterminalen i Bodø har i en tid vært et problem med tanke på trafikk og værforhold, men nå skal glassbyggene mot havna rives, nærmere bestemt i juni, ifølge sikre kilder. Fjerningen av glassbygget er antageligvis en del av et fornyingsprosess som…

Tattoos became Marie's therapy

A translation of this in depth article by TV2 about her tattoos, her family, football, her struggles and moments of survival, Ingrid and about how all these things link together (06/06/2020)

There are butterflies in her stomach. Marie Dølvik Markussen will do something she has done thousands of times before. Yet still, time stands still. 

She will only experience this moment once in a lifetime. For many years now, there have been rumours about the 12-year-old from the small village in Kvaløya who can do things with a ball that few others can. Now she stands in Storgata in Tromsø and must impress the royal couple and the Canadian governor. Her skills cause the congregation to close their eyes.

- This is one of the coolest things I've experienced, the 12-year-old proudly thinks. Unaware of the hardships that she will soon have to face.

Marie Dølvik Markussen is the girl who fell in love with the ball - and the girl that is still in her. She was the child star who played on the boys team for Stakkevollan and made headlines in the local press. "The best girl in town," they called her.

As a 15-year-old, she trained with Tromsø's 2nd Division players at Alfheim Stadium.  The best women's clubs fought to sign her, and she was among the top goal-scorers on youth national teams.

"Maybe it was a little too much, a little too fast," says Marie, turning her eyes down.  

The 23-year-old strokes his arm with dozens of tattoos. The drawings are a work of art that shows everything she has experienced. In total, she has over a hundred pieces, scattered all over her body.

“The tattoos are very personal. They are the result of all that has been. Some of them are from periods of life that I have gone through, that I did not think I would overcome. It is very motivating to look at them now, when it is not so foggy anymore.”

One tattoo shows a man hiding in a hole. "Hide," it says.  - It should remind me that if things get difficult or heavy, then you have to practice tuning everything out, and not hiding. Rather withdraw and come back stronger, says Marie. This is what the Tromsø girl was forced to do.

"She is perhaps the greatest talent in Norway alongside Caroline Graham Hansen," Stabæk coach Øyvind Eide told VG in March 2014. He was brilliantly pleased with the latest addition to the squad - 17-year-old Marie Dølvik Markussen. 

And Marie delivered. Both in the Toppserien, Champions League and for the u19 national team. She was nominated for "Comet of the Year in the Toppserien".

The nomination came despite the fact that she had been benched for several matches because she had leg and knee injury problems. 

“It went from being very fun, to being fun and serious. Then it perhaps the seriousness became a bigger than what I expected, especially what was expected of oneself,” Marie describes. The head and heart would only play ball, but the body repeatedly said no. 

In March 2015 news came that put the injury problems into the background. Marie was given her first senior national team call up. In her debut Norway lost 1-2 for the USA, but for Marie this was the biggest moment she had experienced on a football field. Then came an invitation from Germany.

The big Wolfsburg club wanted Marie to try out.  “It's like Ødegaard or Real Madrid. Wolfsburg is a giant club,” said Richard Jansen, sporting manager at Stabæk.  

Wolfsburg liked what the attacking player was up to during her stay, and a year later, a pro contract was offered. Two days before Christmas Eve, the 19-year-old put her name tag on the papers. But an uncertainty came creeping in.

“I thought it might be too early. At the same time, I've always tried to be tough and go for the opportunities that come my way,” says Marie.  

The attacker hoped that the contract with Wolfsburg would give her a fresh start. That the adversity with all the injury issues should be over. That she faced a brighter future. This was not the case.  

“I tried, and it didn't work at all. It's a very honest case.” The 23-year-old fixes her gaze and opens up about the difficult times as a pro at the German club Wolfsburg. “I just couldn't stand it.” The harsh training culture gave her body a shock.

“My brother supported me a lot during that year. This is a tattoo that symbolises that I would get through the time I was there, and that we would do it together,” says Marie. She points to a tattoo of a heart and two hands holding each other. 

Then her brother got cancer.

“He got sick just before I was supposed to be going home. That was the final straw that made me just pack up and go. Everything else became unimportant.”

Quietly, Marie signed a two-year contract with Vålerenga. While everyone was wondering what had really happened, the Tromsø girl was satisfied by being close to her family and trying to find a way back to herself. 

“Making the decision to go home is one of the best things that has ever happened. From being so insecure, both on and off the pitch in Germany, to coming here and being appreciated. I had a lot of unmet needs as a human being there.” 

While her brother was fighting cancer, the Vålerenga player began to express herself with ink.

She spent hours in the tattoo parlor.  “It has in a way been a ‘safe place’. These are very special hours for me. A time that I use as therapy, really.  

The text ‘safe place’ is also tattooed on her neck. And across the back, she and her brother have tattooed the same motif, which symbolises everything they have gone through together.

“It's one of my favourites, smiles the 23-year-old.”

For Marie, the tattoos are a map of life. “I have a whole story on me, and they remind me of what I have accomplished. It is a result of both bad and good moments.”  

Now the good feelings are in the majority.  Her brother is cancer free, and the Vålerenga player has managed to regain the joy of playing football. Last year she secured the series silver with the team, and this year she will play in the Champions League. 

“I have a much healthier approach to football now than I had before. It is not life and death, but it is very important. One must think that one is good enough even if it did not go the way one had thought. I'm very happy with how it has turned out now, that I'll actually be able to give the game another chance.”

Much of the reason why she has not given up is also due to her girlfriend, Ingrid Syrstad Engen, who plays for the club she left, Wolfsburg.

“Ingrid has been, and continues to be, an important piece of my life.”

After four difficult years, Marie regained her chance to be part of the senior team last year. She was not selected for the World Cup, but national team coach Martin Sjögren highlights Marie as one of the players who has clear international potential.  “She is a player with an x-factor, which is not so common among Norwegian players. This means that she stands out and interests us,” says the national team manager.

For Marie, the goal is first and foremost to enjoy football.  “I just try to take it day by day and do the best I can at training. Then I see where it ends ups”

The hunger to succeed has been revived, not least with her teammates in Vålerenga. It has become her safe place.

“That's why I went home. To find myself properly both on and off the field. To become what I want to be, and help myself a little, maybe.  

But if some of my friends and teammates ask what all these tattoos symbolise, they may not get an answer. Some are too personal.  “Maybe I'll come up with an interesting story about them. Something that has not really happened. But usually I say very briefly what it means or who it is for, then they let it go.”
