Oslo and Drammen, Norway, are the places for the following stages of this season’s cross-country skiing World Cup. The Holmenkollen World Cup starts on Saturday, March 9, with a 50km mass start race in classic technique for women, followed by a 50km mass start race for the men, also in classic technique, on Sunday, March 10. 

On Tuesday, March 12, it’s time for the Drammen World Cup, with a sprint race in classic technique for both women and men. 

In a press release, the Norwegian Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming World Cups in Oslo and Drammen, Norway.

“This has been a demanding withdrawal. We have many good cross-country skiers in Norway. Together with the area manager and the coaches, we have chosen to emphasize the results that were presented in the Norwegian championship and in the Equinor Norwegian Cup in Hommelvik. As always, there are many good skiers who do not get a place in Kollen and Drammen,” says National Team manager Ulf Morten Aune.
