After a rewarding career as an athlete, as to be the & rsquo; only man along with Ola Vigen Hattestad capable of winning world gold, Olympic gold and cup of specialty & agrave; in Sprint, Hetland has embarked on a career as a coach since 2009, the year of his retirement. After following Germany, Switzerland and Canada, l & rsquo; last year he collaborated with Trond Nystad in the Norwegian men's team, taking care of the all-round team.
Following the decision to abandon the Nystad & rsquo; position of head of the male sector, the federation considered Hetland l & rsquo; right man to take the reins of the team. These are the words of Vidar L ø FSUs, director of the Norwegian cross-country teams: & ldquo; Tor-Arne quest & rsquo; year & egrave; It gained great respect for their work. We know we have made a good choice & egrave; he l & rsquo; right man to continue the performance culture that we have developed in recent years & rdquo ;.
These instead of Hetland statements relating to his new post: & ldquo; & Egrave; nice to be part of a team made up of athletes rowing in the same direction and have the & rsquo; aim to be the best. Trond he had gi & agrave; entrusted tasks of great responsibility & agrave; and I want to continue the work begun l & rsquo; last year. I do not see the & rsquo; time to start and to bring out the full potential of each athlete & rdquo ;.
Despite the & rsquo; formalization of & rsquo; assignment of Hetland, Norwegian teams of cross country skiing are not yet complete. Egil Kristiansen Roar Hjelmeset, respectively head coach and head of the Women's Sprint team, have not yet renewed their contracts. The final decisions will probably be made known after the national championships Beitost ø len.
In addition, L ø FSUs hinted want to hire another coach to strengthen men's teams: & ldquo; We are looking for a development-oriented coach who can complement our organic. We think it might be a reference point for both the all-round group for the sprint group, but we have not yet made a final decision & rdquo ;.
