The case summarized teenage girls dominate in dog ledes in Norway. In this year’s Finnmarksl\u00f8p there are only two boys, against 13 girls. Also in the Femund Race, the girls in the youngest class dominated. Narve Krempig believes that boys are generally more interested in engine and action, while dog sledding requires more patience. Sigrid H\u00e6gstad, one of the girls participating, believes that girls’ care gene and focus on animal welfare may be the reason why they are more interested in dog sledding. ——————————– The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publishing. – I think maybe boys, and especially here in Finnmark, have more interest in the engine. Boys probably like more action, says Narve Krempig. He is one of two boys starting in this year’s junior class of Finnmarksl\u00f8pet. Narve is known as one of the wilderness children from the news series of the same name. Now he has become a youth and goes his own ways. For the second year in a row, he starts in the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet, which is completely dominated by girls in the youngest class. Between 13 girls he and Eliel icon (14) from Finland are going out in the track and competing. 16 -year -old Narve Krempig believes patience is one of the reasons why no more teenage boys are driving a dog. Photo: Hanne Larsen \/ news The sovereign girl dominance is not unique to the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet. When the Femund Race took place this winter, there were only three boys on the starting line against 10 girls. – Dog sledding goes slower and requires more patience, says Narve as a possible explanation. The drivers in the 1200 kilometer class have been out for one day. When they arrived at the first checkpoint, the sky struck with fantastic Northern Lights. Driving from the stress Sigrid H\u00e6gstad is one of the girls going to Finnmark to show muscle in what is considered Europe’s toughest dog lane. When Sigrid, as a kid, got dill on the dog, the family chose to move from Trondheim to R\u00f8ros, where conditions were more right. Sigrid H\u00e6gstad knows that the stress releases the roof when she is behind the dog track. Photo: Private \/ news Sigrid’s role model is namesake Sigrid Ekran who has won the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet several times. Dog runner Sigrid Ekran won the Finnmark race for the second year in a row. The 16-year-old thinks the girls’ care gene is what makes them more gira on a dog. – In recent years there has been much more focus on dog welfare. And there I think ladies have an advantage, says Sigrid. She also thinks boys are more interested in slalom and randon\u00e9, and take out the adrenaline there. Although most girls participate in dog -level junior level competitions, it is still a rare sport, compared to many other sports. Sigrid H\u00e6gstad is one of 13 girls who starts during the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet junior part. Photo: Private \/ news During weekdays, Sigrid goes to high school and then it is the parents who take care of the training of the dogs. On weekends, Sigrid takes long trips with the bucket. Through her handball she meets her friends, but the dog run makes her less social than the others. Sigrid believes the mental bit is one of the best things about driving a dog. – When you drive out, the thoughts flow and the stress disappears. You breathe from what may be difficult, says the 16-year-old. – Would rather go on a football tournament Berit Seljestokken is the sporting manager of Finnmarksl\u00f8pet, dog runs and mother of two teenage boys. None of them are interested in running dog runs. – They would rather go to a football tournament instead of standing behind a sled for days, says Seljestokken. Berit Seljestokken is the leader of the sporting committee in the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet. She thinks team sports attract young boys more than a lonely life on the sled. Photo: Hanne Larsen \/ news She believes that boys aged 14-18 are more interested in team sports and more fast -paced sports. – I think it’s as simple as that. We see the same gender division in the Femund Race. There are also the girls who dominate in the youngest class, she says. Home nine in the evening Narve Krempig is almost grown up in the dog farm at Alta Folk High School where the parents work. During the day he is a student at the sports line at Alta High School. The days he trains the dogs, it is right home and eating before putting to the mountains. Often he is not home until nine o’clock in the evening. – It takes a lot of time. But it’s worth it, says Narve. Narve Krempig runs with borrowed dogs and is often in the dog yard to train and cuddle with the dogs. Photo: Hanne Larsen \/ news But even though he loves to drive a dog, he is the most boys. Several afternoons a week he can be found in the handball hall down in the city along with his peers. – How do you get time for homework? – Fortunately, we don’t have much homework, says Narve. Comparing to horse interest but even though the junior class is filled with girls, there are still most men on the longest distances in this year’s Finnmark race. At 600 km, it is quite similar to gender balance with 26 women and 34 men. 1100 km, on the other hand, is dominated by the men. Here are 17 men and only five women. The same was seen at the longest distance in this year’s Femund Race, in which 28 men participated, against 3 women. Finnmark race legend Sven Engholm believes teenage girls are more animal -interested than boys. Photo: Andr\u00e9 Bendixen \/ news Sven Engholm is a legend in the dog -running environment in Norway and one of the founders of the Finnmarksl\u00f8pet. He is clear on what he thinks is the reason why the girls dominate the youngest classes. – I compare it to horse interest. There we also see that girls are in a clear majority of this age, says Engholm. He also thinks girls have a care gene that makes them particularly good dog runners. – To do well as a dog runner, you have to have some feminine qualities as care and taking good care of the dogs. The best dog runners place a lot of emphasis on the dogs’ well -being, says Engholm. He points out that women do better than men in the longest competition runs. – There are fewer women who line up, but the percentage is doing better, says the veteran. Narve Krempig spends a lot of time on dog sledding. Photo: Hanne Larsen \/ news and when we talk about percent and probability calculation … – There is perhaps the greatest chance that there will be a girl who will win the junior class this year, says Narve Krempig. – After all, they are in a pretty large majority.
