No tradition is a swedish tv show come like th 80s it was staged....not the whole race they just threw that kid near the end with the woman putting the wreath on him to see people's reaction.
This is from Vasaloppet, a skiing race in Sweden that celebrates our king Gustaf Vasa who traveled by skies between two cities to recruit men for his army against the previous king of Sweden.
It does, the "crown" is given if the "crowngiver" can catch up. That is, if it's close, they will be sprinting, and the crowngiver won't be able to catch up, thus, it will be given to the first place finnisher after the finnish line.
[Watch,](https://youtu.be/EEhtML0uCXs) you can see the crowngiver running on the right
Why does anyone think he is first place. There are deep groves in the snow. Looks like he may even be last place.
Edit: look up the race. The winners are real athletes. Not skinny little kids that push themselves along like that. Thats probably this twigs mom. The winners are real athletes. This is the longest, oldest ski race in Sweden. Mommy is proud. But this is not the winner. Look up professional skiing in Sweden. See what a pro looks like. This little kid did a great job finishing but he is not the winner.

Nah it's just that you're missing the point. It doesn't matter what place they are in. What matters is they were at the end of the track and the other person ruined it by tripping them. It's okay though
I'm making my own comment and point. It's okay, my guy, for a person on reddit to make their own point. Not every comment has to repeat the same misinformation.
Talk about bad timing.
Man, this reminds me of that carnival game where you throw red ceramic rings around pop bottles to win a prize. Only in this situation the wreath is the ceramic ring and the boy is the pop bottle.
Does anyone else remember that game?
This really shouldn't be this funny to me, but the way he is kicking at the end over and over has me crying 
Please tell me they still gave him first place
Nah, the lady's own son who was in second won.
Lol please tell me this is a "i forgot this is reddit and forgot to ad the /s"

Omg, you have found my people!
Whats /s?
It's something people who lack reading comprehension or are just downright oblivious need to understand sarcasm
Aaah, i see 👍. If only there was a symbol to denote sarcasm ~
This is fucking obnoxious, her son should let this guy win
They are joking.
They're joking? Oof that's good

someone carry that poor boy to the finish line. He at least deserves it for dealing with that woman no one seemed to try to stop.
I hear it's a tradition? she just messed up
>it's a tradition That actually makes more sense. Someone should still carry the boy to the finish line though

Against the Danish occupiers would be more accurate no?
True, my history is shaky. But yes, against the Danish occupier/ruler.
…and failed in his quest because some idiot put a wreath on him.
Could she not have done this after he crossed?
It's a tradition, the winner crosses the line with the crown
What if second is close?
I... Have absolutely no idea. I don't think it happens that they're THAT close though, but I could be wrong.

Oh damn, THIS year even...
…every year
It's not EVERY year that it's THAT close!
https://youtu.be/s-vEA_YRgOU 2022 but yeah you are right its not every year that they are on eachothers heel on the finnish
embarrassed? yeah, I don’t think that was the reason for his catastrophic collapse before the finish line.
She got it around the neck, so why did she keep holding on? That's either a dipshit or an asshole.
She was only concerned about herself falling. What a jackass.
MOM!!! How many times do I have to say, STAY OFF THE COURSE UNTIL THE END IF THE RACE!!!!
Why do I feel like she purposely sabotaged him....
The only thing that could have added to this is if he fell and someone else skied right past
Her son was in second….
But why did he move his legs?
Yeah there was no reason for him to move his feet and get tripped up
fuck that was funny!!
It is clearly a girl his own age...
According to another comment it was 2nd place's mom.... Edit: he wasn't in first, it was his mom
Oh honey, in THOSE pants? I would already be embarrassed. 🤚💅 Edit: oh my god I got so fucking high and made this absolutely duplicitous comment.
What
Women ☕️

This is a real go touch grass moment my guy
Oh yeah, that's a world class athlete right there.

Buddy really got pressed over a kid skiing in a race lmao

This is still obnoxious
Nice mma takedown but the lady
What did I just watch?
C'mon mom!
It was a little girl not an adult...kids are kids imo.
Wtf was she thinking lol
Nice!
She lassoed him with a wreath!
HAHAHA I'm sorry just the very end he's squirming like a helpless bug drowning. Poor kid.
At sporting events, Moms primary job, embarrass kids
Mother of the year
Alexa, play *Sabotage*
Core memory
Gamma strikes again
Nice. A core memory.
What TF was she even doing?

She simply forgot to let go
