Bigger And Better Sponsor Deals For Bjorgen

– Money is not the motivation.

With more sponsor deals also comes obligations like sponsor related commitments.

Bjorgen is saying that this is not going to affect her training, and she is very clear that training and racing has first priority.

She has, in order to make sure that her training is not affected, received help in negotiating the sponsor contracts from sprint king’s Tor Arne Hetland’s wife Guri Hetland. Guri’s profession is company consulting.

– Yes she is helping me with the contracts, confirms Marit who is not afraid that her personal contacts are stealing sponsor money from the national team.

– No I don’t think so, the team has signed with Cresco through 2010. I believe that my personal contacts might have a positive effect, says Marit.
