This bronze statue of Birger Ruud is situated in the city centre of Kongsberg. Birger Ruud was ski jump World Champion several times in the years before World War II. Wickipedia and IOC have more information about this great athlete from Kongsberg.

an interesting position for the statue ...nice!
I'm a distant relative of Birger Ruud (related through turn of the century U.S. emigres). Do you happen to know if any of the Ruuds still reside in Kongsberg?
