What sports make up a gymnasium? Like how does
biking become one? What? Very good question. Thank you. Valid. Validated. Yeah. I mean, uh, at the
school I went to, they had crosscountry skiing, cross country biking, fourcross, downhill, road
biking, and then for the first year, they tried slope style. And you can choose. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So, I was in the same like class as all the other like biking disciplines, but I was the
only slope guy. and Simon Johansson, right? So, we were the first like like I guess what do you
call it? Test rabbits or whatever. It’s the year of guinea pigs. This is the year of STES. Yeah.
Yeah. Simon brought the SE for sure. So, so would So, excuse my ignorance. So, different schools
have different sports within their gymnasium. Is that is that how it works? So, you have to
travel to go to a biking one. No, no, no. So, the same one would also have like ice hockey,
football, and like swimming. Yeah, all of it.
