Norway and Russia have announced the teams that will take part in cross-country skiing competitions these days: both nations have named sixteen athletes (eight men and eight women) respectively.
Norway, which had presented in recent weeks a list of athletes already sure of the Olympic pass, has decided on the last names that will be present on Chinese soil. The eight norge will be: Johannes Klaebo, Hans Christer Holund, Emil Iversen, Erik Valnes, Haavard Taugboel, Sjur Roethe. Paal Golberg and Simen Krueger. Therefore, Harald Amundsen and Thomas Larsen were excluded.
The Norwegian girls present in China will be: Maiken Falla, Helene Fossesholm, Therese Johaug, Heidi Weng, Lotta Udnes Weng, Tiril Udnes Weng, Anne Kaalva and Mathilde Myhrvold.
Russia, on the other hand, will try to redeem the bad '' 0 '' in the medal table of the fund obtained in Pyeonchang. Here are the eight elements of the men's team: Alexander Bolshunov, Sergey Ustiugov, Artem Maltsev, Alexander Terentev, Ivan Yakimushkin, Denis Spitsov, Alexey Chervotkin and Ilya Semikov. The exclusion of sprinter Gleb Retivykh, confirmed also in recent days by the number one of the Russian fund Elena Vaalbe, makes noise: the few important results obtained in the first part of the season were decisive for her cut from the men's team.
