Drammens TF explained

Drammens Turnforening, often called Drammen Turn is a Norwegian gymnastics club from Drammen.

The club was founded on 4 October 1857, and is therefore Norway's third oldest sports club after Oslo TF (founded 1855) and Arendal TF (founded 17 May 1857).[1]

Gymnast Flemming Solberg represented the club,[2] so did the much older Aksel Hansen (Olympic bronze),[3] Frithjof Olsen (Olympic gold, silver, bronze),[4] Arne Knudsen[5] and Odd Lie.[6]

It formerly had a section for track and field. Olympic high jumper Otto Monsen took the national titles in 1916 and 1917.[1] Ferdinand Bie also represented the club.[7]
