Heidi Weng, winner of the last two World Cups, spoke with the Norwegian press just a few weeks before the start of the new season while he is in Kvitfjell for a rally.

The twenty-seven of Enebakk explained his Olympic failure after two seasons at the highest level in which the two crystal balls matched the victory in the Tour de Ski. If many journalists had identified in too many races in the season the cause of disappointing results of PyeongChang where Weng has not made a booty so far only a bronze medal in the Skiathlon of Sochi taking home an eighth, a ninth and two eleventh places and ' exclusion from the relay, the Norwegian does not search for an alibi. "I have everything clear, I know what has not worked and nothing has to do with too many races or training," Heidi Weng replied to the many questions on the subject, "They were personal problems that have nothing to do with sport ". "What? I do not want to talk about it in public, but certainly it was not too many races I love racing, and this only motivates me". Weng now looks at the seasonal debut that will be in Beitostølen on November 16th as a tradition for Norwegian athletes, a first seasonal appointment that Heidi confesses not to love: "The debut is always hard, I hate it. like running 10 km, it takes a while to get ready, but it's Beitostølen, so it's only right to race and finish the race ".
