36-year old Kristen Skjeldal and “retired” skier Anders Eide skied clearly faster than the rest of the field at the 50km free technique race in the beautiful mountain village of Savalen, 100km north of Lillehammer.
Lars Flora, residing in Lillehammer this year, had a great race in 14th place, beating several Norwegian National Team members. Of interest is also 17th place Øystein Rœnbeck, who skied in most of the US SuperTour races this early winter.
Free technique specialist Kristin Stemland won the women’s 30 km Championship by 2 minutes ahead of her older team-mates on the Norwegian National Team.
