The entire Norwegian World Cup team tested positive for Covid-19 after the World Cup in Lahti, Finland, last weekend.

Several of the athletes who were named to the Norwegian World Cup headed for the World Cup races in Drammen and Holmenkollen this week, have tested positive for Covid-19.

“All the racers on the men’s elite sprint team have unfortunately tested positive for Covid-19. We are currently working on getting a complete overview of the situation, and if this will affect additional skiers who were competing at the World Cup in Lathi last weekend,” says Norwegian national team physician Øystein Andersen. 

“Based on the infection situation, we will make some changes in the team selections for both the Drammen and the Holmenkollen World Cup races. Changes will be communicated as soon as we have mapped out the situation.”
