Several countries put up young girls to represent them, and the Norwegian contestants become the first to break with the tradition of wearing full length formal dress - they perform in pyjamas!
('deltagere' is plural, 'hele kroppen' is full length and 'optraeder' can also translate as 'perform' in this context)
