The former skiing king struggles with his back a few days before the opening weekend.
Petter Northug may miss the national season opener at Beitostølen next weekend, melder TV 2.
Northug, who also works as an expert for TV 2, has problems with his back a few days before the opening races.
- Friday is a classic sprint, Saturday is a 10 kilometer classic interval start and Sunday is a 10 kilometer freestyle interval start. Everything is broadcast on NRK.
This would be the 38-year-old’s first season opener since 2018, but now the back problems can put a stop to the comeback.
– I trained for 80 hours in October. It’s the first time I’ve been in that number since 2016. That’s where my threshold lies in terms of recovery time. The body cannot withstand 85–90 hours. I must have more quality and surplus in training. Then I ski faster, quite simply, Northug said in a statement VG interview earlier in November.
The goal is yours get to do the team sprint in the Trondheim WC in 2025 together with Johannes Høsflot Klæbo.
The duo was recently at the same place in Italy and has already practiced the exchange in such a competition:

- The original plan is to go to all competitions in the national cross-country opening at Beitostølen this weekend.
- 13.–15. December he will participate in all the competitions during the Scandinavian Cup in Lillehammer.
- 15.–19. In January, the NM awaits in Hamar, where Northug will be at its very best.
