It is Kveen and Ole Stig Rune Thonstad. The first, 34-year old, long-time friend of Petter Northug, it seems it is already training from the beginning of the summer following his training at altitude, including the stay in Italy and also to Blink Festival.
Longtime friend because, when junior Petter Northug moved in Meraker, along with Frode Estil was the first athlete with whom he trained, and together they were part of the relay team that won in Strindheim gold in the 2006 and 2007 championships in Norway.
It will be the friendship one of the major obstacles to the employment relationship, despite Kveen has accumulated experience as an assistant coach by Ole Morten Ivensen as coach of the Norwegian team, and is here comes into play Ole Thonstad.
It is Thonstad the one who trained Northug and Kveen victorious in the 2006 national relay, and with his long experience as a coach will be able to give support to both.
Despite the training team is now formed, there are still many issues to be resolved for Northug: sponsorship with Coop Norway or their possible support, and the agreement with the Federation of Norwegian, without which you can not Northug participate nor World Cup nor at the World Championships in Falun 2015.
