Loft is a traditional two-storey wooden building preserved mostly in Norway. A loft was used for storage and sleeping, and is known since the early Middle Ages. Loft buildings dating from around 1200 are preserved in rural areas. Lofts were typically built in log technique, unlike the post and lintel construction in stave churches. Many lofts have an external corridor or balcony resting on a log corbel. The oldest non-religious wooden buildings in Norway are lofts. In addition to the stave church, Christian Norberg-Schulz regards the loft as Norway's most important contribution to history of architecture.

Norge satte løyperekord med 2.16.42. Sovjet, som hadde rekorden fra i fjor med 2.18.27, klikket fullstendig denne gang, og havnet på sjuendeplass. USA, favoritt sammen med Sovjet, tok 2. plass med 2.18.51. Amerikanerne ble hektet av fullstendig på 4. etappen. De ledet etter tre etapper, men Mary Custy ble innhentet og deretter fullstendig fraløpt av Ingrid Kristiansen på 4. etappe. Ingrid hadde fenomenale 30.29 på sine 10 kilometer. Det er et halvt minutt bedre enn hennes egen verdensrekord på bane, og like mye bedre enn den uoffisielle baneløps-verdensrekorden til Grete Waitz.

De 10 kilometrene gjorde Ingrid unna på 30,39, ny etapperekord med 2,33 minutter; 20 sekunder fortere enn Ingrids egen verdensrekord på 10 000 m på bane; 20 sekunder fortere enn Grete Waitz bestetid på distansen fra Central Park i New York, og så vidt vites, den raskeste mil noen kvinne noensinne har løpt. ...Likevel var de norske jentene blant de tre beste i etappetid på fire av seks etapper; to av dem besørget av lagets tenåringer, Anita Håkenstad (2. plass på 3. etappe med 16,01) og Christin Sørum (3. plass 6. etappe med 16,05) .
