Thomas Alsgaard says that he is done with cross country skiing — for now.
Thomas Alsgaard did a talk about his career to sport students at the Norwegian sport university in Oslo last week. The old ski king revealed several little know facts.
– I was active for many years, and have kept on (with skiing) for four more years with various coaching and consultant jobs. I don’t have (enough) time for this anymore. I want to focus on other things, says Alsgaard to Nettavisen.no
He considers himself done with cross country skiing for now. He resigned as national-team coach for the Swedes this winter. That was enough for Thomas Alsgaard.
He also talked about his relationship to Bjœrn Dæhlie. He revealed that the two ski kings were very close to getting into a fist fight.
– It was never a big secret that Bjœrn and I weren’t best friends. We had some heated discussions. We were even close to ending up in a fist-fight, says Alsgaard.
