Background

Schmid was born in Norway, speaks Norwegian, and has lived in city of Trondheim all of his life. Until 2006 he only had a Swiss passport due to the fact that both of his parents (Rudolf and Ruth Schmid), are Swiss citizens.

Change of nationality

The circumstances of Schmid's transfer from the Swiss to the Norwegian Ski Federation are unusual and were discussed at the International Ski Federation Council meeting in 2006. The Swiss ski federation required that Schmid pay a transfer fee of 120,000 Norwegian kroner (approx USD 23.000) as compensation. Transfer fees of this kind are unheard of in the ski sport. The consequences of not paying the fee would have left Schmid in quarantine for a year. It was also a matter of some urgency for Schmid due to the legal complications that could arise if he did not change his nationality before his 23rd birthday.

They are all members of a club called Trollelg Orienteeringclub, which is the local club of southern Trondheim.
