Will be 22 cross-country skiers, 14 men and 8 women, who belong to the elite teams. The Director Vidar L Ã¸ FSUs explains some choices: & ldquo; We started the selections gi & agrave; in winter, following the traditional procedures. C & rsquo; & egrave; some guy in less because & eacute; at the FIS Congress in Cancun to be held & agrave; in Mexico in June, there may be new rules on allowances for the World Cup, so c & rsquo; & egrave; the risk of being able to deploy a small number of cross-country skiers in each race & rdquo ;. In the men, the 14 cross-country skiers selected will split into 8 in the allround team and sixth in the sprint. The 8 girls instead belong to a & rsquo; only team. Few surprises: Emil Iversen and Anders Gl Ã¸ Ersen pass the allround team, while Martin L Ã¸ WSTR Ã¸ m Nyenget and Sindre Bj Ã¸ rnestad Skar will belong to that sprint. In the women's l & rsquo; & egrave only new face; to Kari & Ã˜ YRE Slind.
