The sport of cross-country was uprooted, shaken, renewed. We did not know why, but obviously it was due to Koch skating. For a long time cross-country ski racers skated in order to take advantage of terrain or to combat poor wax, although it was difficult to do over grooved tracks and in a narrow corridor.
In 1983 Kvello-Aunli gave birth to a son, but came strongly back in 1984, winning gold with the Norwegian relay team and silver at the 5 km race at the Sarajevo Olympics, and had one World Cup victory.
