Rocket start to the Olympic Season

Paal Golberg (NOR) earned his first ever World Cup victory when he won the men’s 15K classic in Lillehammer on Saturday. At the same time, Didrik Toenseth (NOR) stepped up to the World Cup podium for the first time as well, delivering a strong third place finish at the same event. On Sunday, Alexander Bessmertnykh (RUS) helped the Russian team to victory in the men’s 4x7.5K relay, beating all four of the Norwegian teams. Golberg and Toenseth were both back on the podium in the relay as well, helping Norway I to a third place finish. In the womens relay, Madshus racers Heidi Weng and Kristin Stoermer Steira helped Norway I to an impressive first place, while Krista Laheentenmaki anchored Finland to second place.
At the World Cup opener in Kuusamo, Finland, November 29 - December 1, Madshus racer Noah Hoffmann (USA) posted the hands-down, overall fastest race time for the pursuit that concluded the 3-day minitour.

“Our Madshus Redline skis and the SuperNano boots are delivering on all circuits,” Madshus says and looking forward to the rest of the season and of course the Olympics in Sotchi.
