Over a year and a half of legal battle, and it may not be over here.
What is certain, the Oslo district court ruled in favor of the Norwegian federation, regarding the cause that Henrik Kristoffersen has filed against Norges Skiforbund (asking for 1.6 million euros of damages, ed) for preventing him from marking the own helmet with the logo of the personal sponsor of the world champion giant, the energy drink giant Red Bull.
HK94 has always considered this impossibility to be an injustice, due to the exclusivity that the Scandinavian country has with Telenor (contract renewed until 2022), and has pursued the matter until the final sentence arrived in these hours.
"Adequate and balanced", this is how the management of rights between athletes and the federation was considered, which has never taken a step back against one of its stars, indeed ... "This is an important victory not only for the our federation, but for all Norwegian sport - Norges Skiforbund wrote in a statement through its lawyer Per Andreas Bjorgan - The verdict confirms that the financing of the top sport facilitates the recruitment activities for the growth of young athletes ".
Interviewed by the Norwegian TV channel NRK, Kristoffersen himself did not hide his disappointment at the court's decision: "I am sorry for this sentence, while respecting a different conclusion from what I believe is right. I was aware of having to face a steep and difficult descent, now we will have to calmly read the reasons and evaluate the 'opportunity to apply to the Court of Appeal'.
