, but they met on Thursday to discuss how everyone could help Bjorgen to get back to her previous heights. </p>
<p>– The training model that gave Marit success need to be used purely and to its fullest extent without compromises. That and nothing else is acceptable if I’m to be involved. That’s how she can get back her feel. I know this is needed to achieve success, says Samdal to Adresseavisen.</p>
<p>Firm demands</p>
<p>He want total responsibility for Bjorgen training program, and he doesn’t want to compromise. He also wants Bjorgen frequently in Trondheim where he lives and works for testing and quality-insurance (training), reports Adresseavisen.</p>
<p>Samdal wants the media to be handled by the Norwegian Ski Federation and by Bjorgen. Samdal is not asking for a salary from the Ski federation or from Bjorgen. He is calling pure idealism and interest for a skier he has worked a lot with in the past. </p>
<p>Skinstad and Kristiansen left the meeting without giving Samdal a firm answer. They will now think about the demands and get back to him before the dryland season starts (usually May 1.)</p>
