Hattestad is one of the top sprinters of all time with both Olympic gold and World Cup gold on the track record. Now he will help the ladies take medals at the World Cup.
- I hope to contribute with my sprint skills and continue the good work that is already established in the team, says Hattestad.
He will work side by side with head coach Ole Morten Iversen.
- Both the girls and I look forward to getting Ola, with his experience as a national team coach and top-level athlete, into the coach team, he says.
Hattestad has been a coach in the Slovenian national team since he left as a rider in 2018.
