– I don’t think anything about it. You hear yourself breathing and you get very hot in your head. I didn’t think it was anything comfortable, Eitrem says to news. It is the use of a helmet that is the question. In the World Cup end, among others his Argest Rival, Davide Ghiotto, posed with a 5000 meter helmet. The use of a helmet is the cage during joint starts and team exercises of security care. However, in regular pairing, there are no rules for the use of a helmet. Delivered a new level with a helmet at the 5000 meter in the World Cup on Thursday, former world record holder Ted-Jan Bloemen went with a helmet. The same did the Italian Riccardo Lorello and German Fridtjof Petzold. – That helmet came very suddenly. Someone started talking about it in Heerenveen and so suddenly seemed as if everyone panicked around that they want to try it, says Norwegian Sigurd Henriksen, who became number 19 in the 5000 meters.

Helmet use will soon be seen during the 10,000 meters on Sunday, in addition to the mentions of training.

The 22-year-old delivered two of his career’s three fastest 5000 meters with a helmet and got his big breakthrough. Lorello tells news: – It’s like I’m in a bubble, and I have a very good focus on the ice. I decided to use it today. Also because of the aerodynamics. We think the helmet can improve your aerodynamics, so if you feel comfortable, why not wear a helmet? Cryptical about Norwegian test: – Do not know if I am allowed to say this back in the Norwegian camp tell Henriksen about why he felt that there was a little panicked mood. – I knew it a bit. It was a bit special, because there was a rumor in Heerenveen that Norway suddenly should use helmets on home. For some, it has Openbert worked well, like Lorello, but I don’t think it’s just the helmet, says Bergensaren. He also reveals that Norway has done tests in the wind tunnel to investigate the effect. – Now everyone has not tested it, so it can be different from person to person. But we have had someone who tested and then it was not possible to see that it was somewhat faster. – You don’t want to say the woman? “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this,” he says cryptically and laughs, before adding: – But there is someone on the national team. Before the season, two hands were on their backs or not in the turns the big question: National team coach Jonas pelvis also succeeded in the chest, but tells that tests were done right in advance of the world cup final in Heerenveen. In fact, we have to go to sports manager Petter Andersen to get the name of the practitioner who has done the Norwegian tests, namely Kristian Gamme Ulekleiv. – We have not found that it is more effective, so we have not chosen to do anything about it. It may be that someone may benefit from it, while others do not. It depends on the style. Then we have to test everyone together, in order for us to give all good advice, says Andersen. National team coach Bekken thinks the tests they did, led to no panic when the competitors appeared with a helmet in Heerenveen. – It made us confident that it wasn’t something we should spend time and energy on it now. I think most of the practitioners were and are confident. If you see that more and more people do it, and that it is going faster and faster, then we must certainly take it seriously and test more. But we have not experienced anything panic before this championship, he says. – If an even more anonymous sport becomes the Norwegian practitioners, however, is not particularly enthusiastic. World Cup winner Eitrem tells news that he also tested the use of a helmet this summer. – I may be a bit opposed to it. I do not think there is a helmet on the run to introduce. Then it is rather training, when one goes 100 pieces on ice. It will be an even more anonymous sport if one is to wear a helmet on the run. Then you don’t see your face or anything, so I’m a bit opposed to it, he says. Teammate Peder Kongshaug, Norway’s largest golden hopes on the 1500 meters on Sunday, follows up: – I hope that the fewest possible go with it. I am not so fond of the whole equipment hunt. For skating, I also think that it is not exactly the right way to go that everyone is hiding behind an aerodynamic helmet and that the audience cannot see the face. Face mimics: Kongshaug fears the effect a helmet can have for the audience experience.

In any case, he hopes that the equipment focus will be a minimum. – I would rather see that one looked at how the performer can get better at skating, not how to shape the surroundings for the practitioner to go faster on skates. I would rather have seen it quite communist and that everyone went to the same trick and had the same equipment, but it is probably a little too commercial to get such a scheme. He concludes: – But I think the last weeks have shown us that it may not be completely wrong to go in, he says, with reference to the jump scandal. And so is the question of any helmet use can cause us to get the same developments as before tempo helmets in road cycling? The Tempo helmets of UNO-X are compared to both firefighters Sam and Darth Vader. Published 14.03.2025, at. 11.17
