Yule

Daniel Yule, who won the race last year for the third time, lost his balance and the Swiss skier missed a gate in his second run.

Juovllat, or Yule, was a time to hide from the terrifying stállu, a creature who sucked out the life spirit of the Sámi with an iron tube.

Celebrated by cultures all over the world for thousands of year, the winter solstice is also known as Yule, a celebration of light and the symbolic rebirth of the sun.

Legend has it that a network executive in search of a Yule Log equivalent proposed unleashing a lineup of fuzzy poopers into a fun-sized Plexiglas "stadium" with a bunch of toys.

Braathen had his lead in the slalom standings reduced to 36 points over Yule, while Kristofferen is 41 points behind in third.
