The second stage of the cross-country skiing World Cup season 2023/2024 starts in Gällivare, Sweden, this weekend. The Norwegian national team is now presented.

Gällivare, Sweden, is the place for the second stage of this year’s cross-country skiing World Cup. The event starts on Saturday, December 2, with a 10km interval start race in freestyle technique, followed by a 4×7.5km relay race in classic/freestyle techniques on Sunday, December 3.

In a press release, the Norwegian Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming World Cup premiere in Gällivare. Norway will start with 13 athletes. On the women’s side, Norway will start with 6 skiers. Already on the men’s side, 7 athletes will start for the Scandinavian country. 

The relay teams are selected after the competitions on Saturday.

According to the press release, “three skiers have free places for the World Cup in Gällivare. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo and Tiril Udnes Weng, both winners of the 2022/2023 World Cup. Harald Østberg Amundsen has a free place as winner of the Scandinavian Cup 2022/2023. Johannes traveled home to Norway yesterday, to train before he competes in new ski races. He therefore does not participate in the Gällivare World Cup. For Tiril, the Gällivare weekend also comes too soon due to a previously communicated illness.”
