Aukland’s Arena: “It’s A Mockery”

by Anders Aukland • 01.12.2022
“Actually, what the (Norwegian) Ski Association is doing with the selection for the World Cup in Lillehammer is a mockery of all the ‘new, young skiers who are on their way and are determined to be the best.” That’s what long-distance skiing legend Anders Aukland writes in his latest column. 

“Actually, what the (Norwegian) Ski Association is doing with the selection for the World Cup in Lillehammer is a mockery of all the ‘new, young skiers who are on their way and are determined to be the best.” That’s what long-distance skiing legend Anders Aukland writes in his latest column. 

Under the heading: “Private Team ‘Landslaget’ With The Flag As Logo,” Anders Aukland writes his latest column in the series Aukland’s Arena. He thinks the Norwegian Ski Association is mistakenly prioritizing the national team athletes instead of the new young skiers.

Aukland’s Arena is Anders Aukland’s regular column, where the long-distance legend shares his thoughts, writes about current events and topics, and has honest words about what is happening in and around cross-country skiing. 

During winter, Anders Aukland will write columns on ProXCskiing.com’s Norwegian sister site Langrenn.com (hence the column is written in Norwegian). To read the text, you need to register as a member.
