31 January 2023 at 10:07 Great talent World Cup wreck after victory in the World Cup The Norwegian Ski Association has selected 25 cross-country skiers for the World Cup in Planica. Twelve women and 13 men travel to Slovenia for a World Cup that will be held from 22 February to 5 March. Iver Tildheim Andersen is among those who are not allowed to participate. The big talent won the 10 kilometer in the World Cup in Lillehammer in December. – In the main, it is not him who is weighed too lightly, it is rather the others who have terribly good track records. We have decided to go for a team we believe is most qualified for the 15 kilometres, and he didn’t quite get there, that’s the reason, says cross-country manager Espen Bjervig to news. Tildheim Andersen has not yet responded to news on Tuesday. Here is the entire squad: Women: Helene Marie Fossesholm (Eiker SK), Ragnhild Haga (Åsen IL), Anne Kjersti Kalvå (Lundamo IL), Kristine Stavås Skistad (Konnerud IL), Astrid Øyre Slind (Oppdal IL), Ane Appelkvist Stenseth ( Grong IL), Anna Svendsen (Trømso SK), Silje Theodorsen (Team Elon Nord-Norge), Heidi Weng (IL BUL), Tiril Udnes Weng (Nes Ski), Lotta Udnes Weng (Nes Ski) and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg (Gjøvik SK ). Men: Harald Østberg Amundsen (Asker SK), Pål Golberg (Gol IL), Hans Christer Holund (Lyn Ski), Emil Iversen (IL Varden Meråker), Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (Byåsen IL), Simen Hegstad Krüger (Lyn Ski), Even Northug (Strindheim IL), Martin Løwstrøm Nyenget (Lillehammer SK), Sjur Røthe (Voss IL), Håvard Solås Taugbøl (Lillehammer SK), Didrik Tønseth (Byåsen IL), Erik Valnes (Bardufoss and Omegn IF) and Sivert Wiig (Team ELON West). – You should not ignore the fact that Norway will go home with 17-18 medals, especially when the Russians are not there, says news’s ​​cross-country expert Therese Johaug. The last test before the WC is the World Cup in Toblach, Italy next weekend.
