However, the results obtained so far not satisfy him: & ldquo; L & rsquo; main objective for next season will be & agrave; as always to win the cup of specialty & agrave; of Sprint. I have no other ambitions, even if my dream would be to compete in distance races. However I'm 33 and I do not see the improvements made by some of my teammates & rdquo ;. Hattestad refers to what is shown above all by Anders Gl Ã¸ Ersen, Finn H & aring; January Krogh and Eirik Brandsdal. The first, born sprinter, & egrave; failed to win the 15 km of Davos last December and, above all, he won the bronze medal in this format at the World Falun. The second, however, in turn pi & ugrave; good in the short races up to a couple of seasons ago, & egrave; become the protagonist of a small enterprise in the history of the & Ã–land; stersund, when & egrave; He managed to win two races in two days diametrically opposed such a Sprint classic and 15 km free technique. Brandsdal finally up to twelve months ago was a sprinter pure before being able to impose itself even in the 50 Km of the national championships in March. The Olympic champion of the Sprint has an explanation: & ldquo; I follow closely what they do my teammates in training and try to do the same, but I'm still getting their results. I think it's a matter of genetics, not my physical & egrave; suitable for distances greater than those of Sprint. It seems a trivial excuse, but I find no other explanation & rdquo ;. Season Hattestad still could not start in Kuusamo. The reason? He explains himself: & ldquo; In late November, will become & ograve; father (his partner & egrave; Katja ViÅ¡nar, ed). Deadline & egrave; just during the weekend of Ruka, if you really my son should be born in those days, I would give up more & ugrave; who willingly & Outdoors; seasonal opening, even if I did the preparation without any problem and therefore would start at best. The BACKGROUND however & egrave; family & rdquo ;. & Nbsp; & Nbsp;
