Right after the last World Cup weekend, the Norwegian Ski Federation has nominated its team for the upcoming Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun, Sweden. The full quota of athletes will be sent to the neighbouring country as all of the six athletes have been on the podium this winter and work well together as a team, as Sports Director Sverre Rotevatn explains.

„We are sending one of the strongest teams in a long time to the Championships. The World Champs in Falun are a big highlight for us and we are very much looking forward to it. The goal is to be the best nation“, Rotevatn continues.

The following six athletes will go to Falun. The final team of four athletes who will be starting in the competitions will be decided after the official training in Falun.

In the two weeks leading up to the Championships, the athletes will first have an individual training plan like for example Magnus Moan and Haavard Klemetsen training in high altitude in Seiser Alm and others going home and training with their local teams. Next week, a final training camp for all six athletes is on schedule in Oberstdorf.
