Cross-country skiing | In Norway, people are amazed at the hide and seek game of a top skier – “It’s also my fault”

Norwegian belonging to the sprint championships of the national skiing team Kristine Stavås Skistad speak in the land of the fjords. Or rather the skier’s invisibility.

VGAccording to , Skistadia has not been seen at national team camps or meetings since the closing events of the spring.

“I saw him one day in Olympiatoppen, but otherwise I have had no contact with him. It’s also my fault”, national team skier Kristin Austgulen Fosnäs says for VG.

Ski town trains with the Konnerud private stable, and he does not participate in national team gatherings or press conferences.

Head coach of the cross country team Sjur Ole Svarstad says he doesn’t know if any other national team skiers train with Skistad.

Skistad has trained separately from the national team before, but this summer he has been even more invisible, tells Aftonbladet. Skistad has not remained completely hidden, as he has told about his training on his Instagram account.

25 years old Skistad has won the youth world championships, but has not reached the podium in the prestigious adult competitions. Last season, he fought with the Swedish sprinters for the top positions in the World Cup and is an absolute medal favorite at the World Cup competitions in Trondheim next winter.
