New Roof Will Help Hjelmeset Ski Faster

He is now hoping that it will continue like this and that his frequent illness problems are gone for good. He doesn’t feel completely safe, and has for that reason trained more than in the past the last couple months.
– I have trained more this summer than in the past. I don’t know if I will get any better, but it’s good to have something to fall back on if I get sick this fall, says the skier that’s counting on that the roof change will stop the sickness problems for both him and his family.
– I hope and believe that. I’m now looking forward to getting on snow, says Hjelmeset.
He is leaving for an altitude training camp in Stelvio with the rest of the Norwegian elite team on Tuesday.
