Finished off my season with a very nice week in Norway. Races were at Lygna, and it was awesome to see some great results from the young Team USA. Jr Boys got us back in the medals in the relay! Stoked for them.

Boys put it together!! It definitely takes a lot of strength and some good luck to be up there in this race, these guys skied real well.

Such a refreshing change of scenery from the Olympics. It was a much chiller atmosphere, even with a ton of races and logistics. Young teams are lots of fun, and these boys know how to keep it light.

Testing for the sprint in some great conditions

Getting a little rubdown after the qualifier. Made the heats for the first time since Davos in December 2020!

Heats are so fun! That might’ve been the highlight of my trip (photo: Steve Fuller flyingpointroad.com)

Double poling with my Japanese friend (photo: Steve Fuller flyingpointroad.com)

Double poled my 5k relay leg, first time doing that in a race in a long time! They’ve generally limited that well with hard courses and technique zones, but thankfully this course didn’t have a technique zone because it was pretty flat. I’d way rather them just try to do hard courses and never put in technique zones because it feels forced. It’s fun when it can go either way, and people end up doing different things. In the relay a Czech dude and I were the only ones that double poled, and I think it was the right call for me. It felt good!!

Mixed relay team. Cool format, I’m really looking forward to watching it in the Falun World Cup in a couple weeks. Wish I could be in that one.

Packing ‘em away. Big thanks to these ski techs for working so hard all week. These races are rapid fire, and these guys are testing and waxing the whole time.

In Seattle. Almost home after 3+ months!

Definitely not stoked about having to end my season like this, but I’m glad for what I got to do, and it was really fun to go out with a good week in Norway. Now time to rest so next year can go better!
