ahead of her time
laila schou nilsen had the misfortune of being a champion in two sports before they were included in the olympic program for women. in 1935, when she was only fifteen years old, schou nilsen set a world record in speed skating when she covered 500m in 49.3 seconds. there were no speed skating events for women at the 1936 olympics (they were not added until 1960), so the 16-year-old schou nilsen entered as an alpine skier. her specialty was downhill skiing, but the only alpine event was the alpine combined, in which the entrants had to ski a downhill course and a slalom course. schou nilsen finished first in the downhill portion of the event, finishing a full four seconds ahead of the other women. but she was only fifth fastest in the slalom and ended up with a bronze medal. in january 1937, schou nilsen set speed skating world records at 500m, 1,000m, 1,500m, 3,000m and 5,000m, each of which lasted for at least twelve years. in fact, her 500m record of 46.4 seconds was not broken until 1955. schou nilsen also played on the norwegian national team in the sport of team handball.

走在时间的前面
挪威滑雪运动员莱拉-萧-尼尔森在运动生涯的运气不太好，她参加的两个项目中都与奥运冠军无缘。1935年，15岁的尼尔森以49.3秒的成绩 打破500米速滑世界纪录，但是在1936年德国加米施一帕滕基兴冬季奥运会中，并没有将速度滑冰列为奥运会的正式比赛项目。在德国，尼尔森只能参加高山 滑雪比赛，她在高山速降中名列第一，但在回转项目中只取得第五名的成绩，只获得铜牌。1937年1月，尼尔森打破了速度滑冰500米、 1000米、1500米、3000米和5000米的世界纪录，她的这些世界纪录至少保持了12年后才有人打破。尼尔森是位多才的运动员，除了在速度滑冰项 目上创造辉煌，尼尔森还是挪威手球国家队队员。
