Marit Bjørgen says Kristine Stavås Skistad’s coaching split is affecting her training

This summer, the sprint star ended her relationship with her personal trainer, Lage Sofienlund, with whom she had worked closely for several years.

At the same time, Skistad reported him for abuse of power and manipulation and raised the allegations with both his former club, Konnerud, and the Norwegian Ski Association.

National team coach and skiing legend Marit Bjørgen is concerned.

In the situation Kristine is in, and has been in for a long time, it is clear that it is tough, Bjørgen tells NTB, adding:

I understand that it is a situation involving a great deal of strain, and it also has consequences for training, says Bjørgen.
