Torjus Hemmestveit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Torjus Hemmestveit was a Norwegian nordic skier who shared the Holmenkollen medal with his brother, Mikkjel Hemmestveit in 1928. The brothers, originally from Morgedal, Norway had a key role in the development of Telemark skiing by creating the world's first skiing school in 1881 at Christiania, Norway (now Oslo). They would emigrate to the United States in the late 19th century and run several ski schools in their new country.
