Here is my brief interview with Frederik, Crown Prince
of Denmark, after he served as starter and medal presenter for many of
today's World Championship Cross Country and community races in Aarhus. He was
gracious to pause and answer a few questions on his way out after a long day on
the course.
Would you please say a few
words about what you thought of the event today?
"The event is a big
success for everybody - you should probably ask some of the participants (for
their perspective), too! This is a major event for this country, we have
amazing surroundings, we have a lot of backup, a great audience, and the weather
was also looking our way.
People came from around the
world for this...
Yes, I don't have a country
count...
70, I believe.
...but there are beautiful
colors and flags and sportswear (representing these countries).
I assume that Denmark would
like to host events like this again in the future.
Yes, it's not the first
time - we've hosted big world championship events in a variety of sports,
so it's been happening. Thank you so much.
