The controversy swells in recent days in Norway, where the presentation of the official clothing line of the Olympic selection has not failed to raise a wave of indignation. This includes a Dale of Norway sweater for alpine skiers whose motives were once worn by the Nazis. As an arrow pointing upwards, the rune of Tyr, god of war in Viking mythology, was once the emblem of a training school for the cadres of the National Socialist German Party. Another symbol, representing the tree of the world in Norse mythology, still being used by far-right groups in Northern Europe. "Neonazis have walked with Norwegian flags, but that does not mean we have to stop using them - these symbols are part of our heritage," answers the controversy Hilde Midthjell, one of the leaders of the Dale of Norway solicited by the New York Times. The Norwegian Ski Federation, for its part, refused to decide, leaving it to its athletes whether or not to wear the offending sweater. "Nobody wants more," says slalom Jonathan Nordbotten.
