Two novelties & agrave; compared to last winter with regard to women's team: Ragnhild Haga and Kari Vikhagen Gjeitnes, following the excellent results achieved, taking the place of Celine Brun-Lie and Kristin St & oslash; rmer Steira, both withdrew from & rsquo; activity & agrave; racing. Cut without being replaced instead Marthe Kristoffersen. As for the men's team, even quest & rsquo; year applies the division between team distance and team sprint: in the first Niklas Dyrhaug and Hans Christer Holund replace Eldar R & oslash; nning and Simen & Ã˜ Stensen, while they confirmed the six sprinter gi & agrave; belonging to this group in the past season. Desta therefore some perplexity & agrave; the presence of Anders Gl & oslash; Ersen, became one of the great protagonists of the races away, much to win the 15 km of Davos and to win the bronze medal in the same format at the World Falun. Are obviously not without controversy on the part of the excluded: Eldar R & oslash; nning gi & agrave; Friday & Igrave; last had shown bad mood after the head coach Vidar L & oslash; fshus had anticipated the & rsquo; exclusion. Yesterday, & egrave; Timo was Andr & eacute; Bakken to attack its engineers because, in his view, would have deserved a place in the team sprint. Clearly Norway & egrave; a superpower of cross country skiing and managers are forced to make different choices, sometimes painful. It should however be noted that those who are not part of the national team are not automatically excluded from the previous World Cup, but will just have to do without dell & rsquo; sporting and economic organization of the federation. In this regard, the & ldquo; & rdquo negotiation; Petter Northug did not give the desired results, or better, & egrave; still far from completed. The King of Falun fact although not included in any of the national teams, seems willing to play in the World Cup 2015-16, with the clear goal of winning for the first time the Tour de Ski, only manifestation of a certain weight is missing to his palmares. These are the words of the director of skiing & Aring; ge Skinstad on the situation with Northug: & ldquo; We are on good terms and we want to find a solution that is beneficial to the whole movement. There are still several months to the new season, there & rsquo; & egrave; hurry to reach an agreement and therefore we have not yet set a date beyond which sum up & rdquo ;. This therefore l & rsquo; complete list of national teams of cross-country skiing in Norway ahead of the 2015-16 season.
