Kristine Stavås Skistad was missing from the Norwegian national team’s first training camp of the season. Now, Marit Bjørgen has a clear message.

There will be no national team gatherings or group training sessions, and national team colleagues won’t get to compete against Kristine Stavås Skistad until the start of the season.

Coaching legend Steinar Mundal believes there is one thing that can make the Norwegian sprint star Kristine Stavås Skistad return to the national team next season.
