12:02. Norwegian cross-country skier Kristine Stavaas Skistad has returned home aftercompeting in just one cross-country race at the Milan/Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. She will therefore not be taking part in the team sprint event scheduled for next week.
She has already left Italy, national coach Per Elias Kalfoss confirmed to TV2: “I spoke to Kristine in the morning before she left. I got the impression that she was relieved and would rather go home than stay here and wait ,” he said.
The Scandinavian finished fifth in the Olympic classic sprint, behind the Swedish triple.
