The Weng family has specifically taken measures for Heidi – the family’s cross-country star. Heidi Weng is above average concerned with infection control. She always makes sure to keep the necessary distance, uses a mask more than others and maintains hygiene. But Weng is also very family-oriented, with a particular soft spot for the younger members of the family. That is why her nephew, the child of her sister Merete, was taken out of the nursery in the middle of December. – He’s a little charmer, but I haven’t been allowed to spend much time with them lately. It has only been going up on the veranda and talking through the window, Weng says and continued: – The grandparents on both sides are pensioners, so they take responsibility for helping out in December. It’s good for me, because then I can be with my family all Christmas. TAKING ACTION: Heidi Weng together with mother May Bente, grandmother of the nephew.

This is what Weng is also aware of, but it is not always so easy to help yourself. During the season opening at Beitostølen, Weng was observed with his nephew in his arms shortly after the race. Although she is aware that the risk of infection increases. – Yes, I’m thinking about it. But I don’t have the heart not to be with my aunt’s kid, she says and tells that there was a sleigh ride with her nephew right after the race at Lillehammer. – It was my recovery session. Weng also has three cousins through his roommate’s family. – It is incredibly pleasant to be an aunt. In a way, I have four mascots, she smiles. The family is important and the same applies to the Christmas season. After some less pleasant experiences at Christmas in recent years, she is now happy that the family is making arrangements for her to be with them. – I am grateful for that. I was alone at Christmas last year, and have been alone once before. Then I had diarrhea before the Tour de Ski and I was isolated from the others. Last year was the last time I was in the height at Christmas. It won’t happen again. – Extreme news’s cross-country skiing expert says that it is a well-known fact that Weng goes further than most when it comes to infection prevention. EXPERT: Fredrik Aukland. Photo: Håvard Greger Hagen / news – In this particular area, Heidi is probably extreme. Many make moves with their immediate family and loved ones. But here we are talking about cousins and parents. This is more extensive. It is quite extreme, he says. Aukland believes it is right for Weng to take the measures she believes make her best prepared, both physically and mentally. But at the same time pay tribute to the family who are on the journey. – For many, it might have been unthinkable. But it only shows that the whole family is involved in making her optimally prepared. It is not certain that it would be right for others, but it is for her. Those around her go to great lengths to ensure that everything is in place for an optimal WC season, says the expert. Recharging for the Tour de Ski After the World Cup weekend in Lillehammer, Heidi Weng admitted that she was exhausted. A fierce start to the season had taken hold, and the 33-year-old chose to stay over in Davos. – I hope to get some surplus again, because I’m simply a bit tired, says Weng. She stood over the race to prioritize training in the run-up to the Tour de Ski – and not least to have a proper Christmas celebration. During the previous Tour de Ski, he made it onto the podium on the last stage – the infamous monster hill. Weng has two overall victories from the Tour de Ski earlier in his career.
