12:11. Sidelined from the Norwegian national team for the biathlon world cup finals scheduled for the weekend in Oslo-Holmenkollen (Norway), Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen will nevertheless don his bib this weekend.
On Tuesday, he announced in the columns of TV2 that he had decided to register for the continental cross-country skiing cup in Gålå (Norway). He will take part in the skate sprint on Friday and the 20km free mass-start on Sunday.
“I’ll be very happy if I pass the sprint qualifier, he says. In the 20 kilometres, I’ll have to hang on to the lead for as long as possible and hope to have enough punch for a sprint. I’ve never been to Gålå, but I’ve heard that the course suits me well. It’s fast and slightly hilly.”
