– I am very motivated to continue as ski president, says Tove Moe Dyrhaug. She meets news at Beitostølen in connection with the national opening in cross-country skiing. But it has not only been a sporting focus for the skiing president in recent weeks and months. Earlier this week, the ski president told Adresseavisen that if she only had to deal with firefighting, she would have to consider whether she wanted to continue as ski president. – Now it is a statement taken from an hour-long interview. But then I also said that, fortunately it is not (only firefighting, editor’s note). Because there is a lot of good happening in the Norwegian Ski Association, a lot of good things we work on, and not least a lot of good people. But there is no doubt that there is a lot of firefighting, says Moe Dyrhaug. – I think I myself have been clear news’s sports commentator, Jan Petter Saltvedt, interpreted the statements as a cabinet question, i.e. a kind of ultimatum that now everyone had to go in the same direction if she was to continue. The ski president does not agree with that interpretation. – It was taking it a bit far. He was supposed to talk to me. I am super motivated. I also think that we are doing a lot of good, and we are heading in the same direction. It is complex in the ski association. If you have seven children, you have seven branches to deal with. That is our structure, and there is no excuse. We know that, and we will solve that. CRITICAL: – In a time that demands leadership responsibility to some degree, Dyrhaug instead goes a long way in giving it up completely, wrote Jan Petter Saltvedt in a comment about the ski president on Friday. Photo: Lars Thomas Nordby / news Saltvedt also criticized that the skiing president has been too invisible in some of the conflicts. Moe Dyrhaug has been clear that some of these challenges must be solved in the various branches, not that she should be mixed up in the disagreements of the alpine skiers or cross-country skiers. She still stands for that position. – It is because we are organized as we are. We shall not skip those links. If I start getting into the branches, I’ve put them under administration in a way. But then of course, if there are matters that require it, then I am the top manager and must go into those matters. – Then there are issues that cross branches, such as the national team model. Why haven’t you been more clear there? – I myself think that I have been clear. There is no doubt that it is the ski board that is responsible for adopting the national team model itself. But then it is the branches that have the market-related annex, and there it is the branch that has the best expertise. – Don’t refuse to start the way to go For part of the conflicts, mainly the various branches of the ski association. Lucas Braathen gave up on the day because a conflict with the association had gone so far that he no longer enjoyed skiing. QUIT: Lucas Braathen quit on the day just before the Alpine World Cup started this season. The biggest issue of recent months has nevertheless been about Johannes Høsflot Klæbos with the cross-country management. He has chosen to stay out of the national team this season. Instead, he has a so-called standard representation agreement, which means that he represents the ski association at weekends, but can do as he pleases when there is no race. Klæbo has thus received an exception from the ski association’s rule that an athlete who refuses to join the national team will not be allowed to compete in the World Cup. OUTSIDE THE NATIONAL TEAM: Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is outside the national team. He has nevertheless received a dispensation to go to the World Cup race. Photo: Anders Skjerdingstad/news – Now it is like that rule was there, and there is no doubt that the discussions around the national team model are that it is 2023, and that you have to adapt and not least modernize. I don’t think denying a start is the way to go, says the ski president about Klæbo being allowed to participate. – Are you disappointed that it didn’t work out better with Klæbo? – I’m a bit concerned about roles, so cross-country skiing has to answer, what kind of agreement has been made with Johannes. But if cross-country skiing and Johannes have reached an agreement that you are satisfied with, then you can possibly evaluate it later.
