At the premiere in Ruka, Ingvild Flugstad Östberg did not meet all the requirements in the health declaration. The long-distance skiing star did not want to go into details about what it was about when she thought it was too personal. On Tuesday, the Norwegian Ski Federation announced who will go during the world cup competitions at home this weekend. And then Östberg is not included either.
- When Ingvild is back, we don't know. When the health is good she will start. I hope it will be quite soon, says national team coach Ole Morten Iversen to Norwegian VG.
He will not know if she will start at the Tour de Ski at the end of December.
- I don't want to speculate on that. It will be wrong.
Nobbar Lillehammer One that will also not start this weekend is Didrik Tönseth - but for totally different reasons.
Instead of World Cup competitions in Lillehammer, he goes to Portugal to take part in the terrain European Championship.
