– We think Rise can be a very strong candidate. She has a strong background as a lawyer and as a public prosecutor, and we believe that such a role would suit her very well, says Tore Sandem, chairman of the board in Østfold ski district, to news. It is brewing up a tough battle for the presidency of the Norwegian Ski Association: Just over two weeks ago, the nomination committee nominated Rosenborg boss Tove Moe Dyrhaug as Erik Røste’s replacement. On Friday, the news came that the Buskerud ski district is announcing a bench proposal for former Kollen boss Kristin Vestgren Sæterøy. And less than a day later, the Østfold ski district has given Dyrhaug another competitor: Katharina Rise. BENCH SUGGESTIONS: Katharina Rise. Photo: Terje Bendiksby / NTB Led the jump evaluation The Attorney General is a well-known figure in Ski-Norge. She has led both the so-called asthma committee – under the auspices of the cross-country committee – and the committee that looked at the handling of the Clas Brede Bråthen conflict. – We have become well acquainted with Katharina over the past year. Among other things, she has led the evaluation work in the jumping case, and we think she has done so in a satisfactory way, says Sandem. – How has the dialogue with Rise been? – It has been very good all the way. We were in touch with her a while ago. She has been very positive about entering such a role. There has been no doubt about that, he answers. Predicting chaos Jan Petter Saltvedt, news’s sports commentator, describes the three candidates as «extremely competent». He still wonders that the ski environment goes for two opposing candidates, instead of gathering behind one. EXPERT: Jan Petter Saltvedt. Photo: ALEM ZEBIZ / news – It is a little surprising that there is not just one, but two bench proposals shortly before the parliament. The fact that they also cannot gather around one opposing candidate does not make it easier for the candidates who are coming now, Saltvedt says. He thinks the two bench proposals can turn upside down at the federal parliament in Molde next weekend. – There will be much more chaos and excitement around this thing, he states and continues: – It can give a fresher and more fruitful debate of it. To that extent, the ski association needs to vent all excitement and frustration. There is still a lot of that. But I’m not sure that coming up with even more presidential candidates is the right way to create a path that everyone can agree on. Saltvedt has the most faith that the skit chooses Dyrhaug as president. – I think that Dyrhaug is a candidate who has all the qualifications needed to gather Ski-Norway, he says. RESIGNS: After ten years as chairman of the board and president of the Norwegian Ski Association, Erik Røste has informed the nomination committee that he will not stand for re-election during this summer’s shit in Molde. Photo: Annika Byrde / NTB – We are open to all candidates When asked if one should not gather around one opposing candidate, Tore Sandem answers: – Yes, you can say that. It is a democratic thing, and the person who gets the most votes is the one you gather around, the chairman of the board answers. – What do you think about the nomination committee’s recommendation, Tove Moe Dyrhaug? – To me, Tove seems like a worthy candidate. But we think it can be healthy with a little competition. We are concerned with getting the best candidate. We are absolutely open to all three, and we hope the best candidate wins, Sandem answers. Røste’s replacement will thus be chosen by the skit in Molde on 12 June.
