MOSCOW, Mar 28 Ola Vigen Hattestad announced that he would step down as chief coach of the Norwegian women's cross-country skiing team at the end of the season. Hattestad, along with Ole Morten Iversen, began working with the team in May 2020.
"I think those were two very good years. There were many difficulties, many related to the coronavirus. There is nothing you can do about it, but the most difficult thing in my case is that I have home problems that make the situation even more difficult", Hattestad quotes NRK.
«As a coach, you must be available to everyone time. It should be. Girls deserve it. But when I got home, I was pulled in two directions. It was not easy, especially this year <…>, «said Hattestad, in whose family a daughter was recently born. Hattestadhoo 39 years. He is the 2014 Olympic champion in the individual sprint.
