The ski season is quickly getting closer. Here is the Norwegian team selection for the World Cup opener in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The sprint races in Düsseldorf will be held October 23 and 24. Individual sprint and sprint relay is on the agenda.
The Norwegian results in Düsseldorf last year were not great. Best male skier in the individual race was 9th for the men, and Marit Bjorgen lost her only World Cup sprint race last year and ended up in 5th. The relays went better with victory for the women and third for the men’s team.
– We are hungry for revenge after losing lots of valuable World Cup points there last season, says Bjornar Hakensmoen on behalf of the Norwegian team. He doesn’t want a repeat performance that also included slow skis.
