9 February 2024 at 15:07 Halfvarsson has no faith in Northug in the WC Calle Halfvarsson, one of Petter Northug’s long-time rivals on the ski track, believes that time has run out for the Norwegian veteran. In an interview with SVT, Halfvarsson says that he would like to see Northug in the WC in Trondheim next year, but that he has no faith in that happening. – It will probably take a miracle if Petter is to win the championship at home. I would have been happy if he made it, it would have been so cool. But I’m not putting my money on Petter Northug, unfortunately, says the Swedish cross-country profile. Northug’s solid run and 2nd place in the Norwegian Cup in Nes last weekend fueled speculation that the 38-year-old could be eligible for the World Cup and WC. But very few people believe it is possible, including Swedish star Frida Karlsson. – I think he will have a hard time settling into that team. In a way, he was born in the wrong country, she says, referring to the breadth of top runners in Norwegian men’s cross-country skiing. William Poromaa has little hope of seeing Northug at the starting line in Trondheim. – I haven’t met Petter, so I hope he gets there so I can meet him. He gets war on, he says. (NTB)
