Tønseth expressed throughout the autumn his wish to represent Norway at the championship in Tilburg. In October, he became a rather surprising Norwegian field champion.
The international management also realized that it was no longer possible to give the profile of the national team the opportunity to travel to the Netherlands. The EM race will take place on Sunday 9 December, the same day as the World Cup in Beitostølen.
"I hope to be able to go on Saturday and organize the European Championships on a field on Sunday, and I'll see if that's okay," Tønseth told NTB about cross-country skiing in Beitostølen earlier in November.
Ingebrigtsen is ready
National team coach Eirik Myhr Nossum said the wish was completely unavoidable. He went so far as to say that if Tønseth decided to go to the Netherlands, the coach would no longer be "present for three and four in the World Cup".
Tremila in Beitostølen December 9th is an important outing for the World Cup in Seefeld.
On the other hand, the brothers Henrik and Filip Ingebrigtsen of Sandnes represent Norway in the upper class in Tilburg. With them, they receive the runner of Stavanger Ørjan Grønnevig and Tom Erling Kårbø of Stord.
Title Defense
The younger brother Jakob Ingebrigtsen should start in the U20 class. There is a company of Simen Halle Haugen (Runar), Håkon Stavik (Ålesund), Simon Nebijo Steinshamn (Tingvoll) and Jonathan Andersen Vedvik (Tønsberg).
The youngest rider, Ingebrigtsen, is the defender of the title in the under-20 category. A year ago, he won gold in Slovak Samoa. At that time, the big brother Henrik had to take the eleventh place in the senior class. Filip Ingebrigtsen did not participate.
Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal (Tjalve), Silje Fjørtoft (Ull / Kisa) and Sigrid Jervell Våg (BUL) will represent Norway in Tilburg. Grøvdal won the bronze medal last year after losing the silver spur against Swedish Meraf Bahta.
