As a result, most organized sporting activity ceased, and many athletes refused to take part in competitions sanctioned by the occupation regime.Idrettsfronten Store norske leksikon https://snl.no/idrettsfronten no Some sporting events organized by the collaborationist authorities were held with little or no public support.
