Last winters results have made Marit Bjorgen a hot sponsor target in Norway. She has got several new and better deals, but she doesn’t want to reveal what amounts the deals involve.</p>
<p>– I don’t feel for commenting on that, but it’s more than in the past, says Marit Bjorgen to Langrenn.com</p>
<p>She feels that this is the right moment to take advantage of last winter’s good results.</p>
<p>– I have to act now while these results are remembered. I skied well last winter. My income will go down if I started to ski slower. I have an opportunity to secure my finances now, says the World Championship queen from Oberstdorf.</p>
<p>Bjorgen is despite better deals underlining that the economical aspect of this isn’t the most important.</p>
<p>– Money is not the motivation.</p>
<p>With more sponsor deals also comes obligations like sponsor related commitments.</p>
<p>Bjorgen is saying that this is not going to affect her training, and she is very clear that training and racing has first priority.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>– 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.</p>
<p>– 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.</p>
