Halfvarsson's new plan: Not treason

Ahead of his final season and the World Ski Championships in Falun, Calle Halfvarsson is changing his approach. The 37-year-old veteran will be part of the Norwegian team Swenor Splitkon, where 24-year-old Vetle Leander Johansen will take over as Halfvarsson's coach. This is not a game, Halfvarsson tells Expressen.

Halfvarsson describes his new coach as "incredibly well-read" despite his young age and is attracted by the Norwegian's way of conducting training.

It will be really interesting to test his training philosophy, Halfvarsson says, and he continues:

I don't see it as treason. I want to try something new.

Johansen's training regimen is widely known, and some people are said to train up to 100 hours a month.

"I got a little lump in my throat when we talked about training hours. This is not going to be a game," Halfvarsson says.
