Sports

In 1941, organized sport in Norway was heavily affected by the German occupation. Following attempts by the occupation authorities to place Norwegian sport under Nazi control, athletes and sports clubs across the country participated in a nationwide boycott known as idrettsfronten (“the sports front”). As a result, most organized sporting activity ceased, and many athletes refused to take part in competitions sanctioned by the occupation regime.

Some sporting events organized by the collaborationist authorities were held with little or no public support. A national athletics meet arranged by NS Sports at Bislett Stadium was conducted in front of empty stands, reflecting the widespread boycott of occupation-controlled sport.
