” We have asked our topputövare to make a conscious choice given that they are role models for some young practitioners, says the Brit Baldishol, development manager at the Norwegian ski federation to the SVT.
the directive is designed to avoid giving young skiers a false picture of what is required to become a professional skiers.
– It is important that our riders know what the difference between a young skier and a skater at the elite level who has competed for many years. A practitioner who has been active in 20 years to have a body that is different than a 16 year-old, ” she says.
