He has a positive relationship with Mexico and we are currently discussing several things, says Omar Fayad, Mexico's ambassador to Norway, to NRK.
Who wouldn't want to see Mr. Northug return to the World Championship or compete in the Olympic Games? We will do everything to make his experience help the Mexican athletes who have secured a spot in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Northug does not want to answer NRK's questions about Mexico.
"Get back to me when I have more information", he writes in a text message.
Mexican Olympic skier Allan Corona Rodriguez tells NRK that he has trained with Northug in Holmenkollen and that there is a possibility for the Norwegian to also compete for Mexico.
But it's complicated things with passports and such, says Rodriguez.
Northug retired in 2018. He has 20 Olympic and World Championship medals and 18 individual victories in the World Cup. The 39-year-old has started a new effort to possibly participate in the next Olympic Games and World Championship.
