- We have had a konsktruktiv and good conversation, but I do not want to go into detail about what we talked about, says coach Skinstad Dagbladet after a several hour long meeting with Petter Northug manager Are Sorum Langås earlier today.
There was opinion that cross management should become familiar with Petters priorities ahead coming winter.
– It was important to get had such a meeting before national teams will be presented tomorrow. Now we had the day before the withdrawal, partly because Petter has requested this time to think about. It has given him, said Skinstad.
In the morning presents sports manager Vidar Løfshus next season lanslags during a seance in Skifirbundets premises at Ullevaal Stadium. The large voltage has been linked to about Petter Northug would be offered a national team or not.
Can denied participation
About Løfshus offered Petter a seat, had Northug either say yes and scrutinize coop agreement. Otherwise he would not have participated for Norway in next winter’s World Cup. It has a resolution in Skistyret ensured. Runners not accepting tendered ladslagsplasser receive no represent.
Or Petter could say no, still as coop-runs and scored solely on long runs.
The third possibility is that associated not offer him a place at all. Ergo he releases to say no and be directly affected by skistyrets exclusion decisions.
The last option is still the most appropriate.
Delays matter
After the meeting between Langås and Skinstad yesterday, it was namely sent out a press release from the cross-management, which states:
– The situation around Petter Northug is not clear but progress constructive talks with Petter and his support. That means Petters name will not be on the list of national runners presented tomorrow.
– It does not mean that Peter will not be lowcost a place on the team. It may well be he becomes later. This means first and foremost that we both believe we have more to talk about. We will not rush anything, but take the time we need to find the best possible solution for Norwegian cross country.
– And there is no doubt that Petter Northug is a part veseltlig of Norwegian cross country, says Skinstad Dagbladet.
New special deal?
Dagbladet think this is going to end with that Team Northug and team agree on a model where Northug not offered national team but where it opened for a special agreement in line with what the parties agreed last winter about Northug decides to bet on the World Cup coming winter.
He has several times, most recently by gold party Falun Championships, given clear utrrykk that he wants.
Not least deadlines innovation Tour of Canada at the end of the season, and it is now still even so Petter Northug has yet to win the Tour de Ski, which gnaws him never so little.
So the shape autumn good enough that Peter feels he can win, it takes a lot if he did not get to see the start of the World Cup also to winter.
