Norway Names 2018-19 National Team

There were 16 athletes named to the female World Cup and Europa Cup teams while 20 male athletes were offered seats on the two teams.

“Norwegian skiing has great success at all levels, and both sexes,” said sports director Claus Johan Ryste. “That’s why the battle for places on the teams is tough, but it brings us forward as alpine. We are excited that the efforts on the women’s side over time show that we have now got a width and a team that is powerful in all disciplines. Now comes the period for making the job next season that will bring new highlights.”
