Finding himself at 26 years out of the national team despite being, considering the retirement of Nina Haver-Loeseth, the fourth slalomist of Norway after Kristin Lysdahl, Mina Fuerst Holtmann and Thea Louise Stjernesund.
This is the case of Maren Skjoeld, excluded from the federal cadres in view of the 2020/21 season, after a very difficult year for her which had already been twice fifth and once fourth in the CdM, between slalom and parallels / city event, in the period between 2016 and 2018. Only the 17th place in the debut at Levi in 2019/2020, then many difficulties and the surprise of the past few days, given that the Scandinavian specialist just did not expect exclusion , although aware that the cuts to which the Norwegian federsci was forced (five less athletes and there is also talk of a substantial reduction within the technical staff) could also have affected athletes of good caliber.
Speaking to NRK, Skjoeld did not send them to say: “I went from being ready to work for the next season, finally without problems, to finding myself unemployed - said the slalomist - I spoke with Claus (Ryste, the sports director of the house norge, ed) because the communication was poor, without a warning before I was destroyed by this news. Now I don't know what I will do ... ".
Ryste used diplomacy to "respond" to her athlete: "I understand you for the timing, but I think that your displeasure is mainly due to the choice. We still had a good dialogue on the matter, but the situation led us not to include it in our teams ".
