Bjervig starts work on July 1, in a transition from being an administrative leader in the same place, similar to the national team manager Vidar Løfshus, at which he now becomes the head of.

“I greatly appreciate the trust and look forward to accepting the work as the top manager of the Norwegian cross country skiing,” said newly-appointed cross-country coach Bjervig, a former Norwegian national team skier. “It is with pride and dedication I take on the effort of inspiring and protecting people both internally and externally and being part of our national sport.”

“Throughout the last years of cross-country events, I have learned a lot and I will do my best to keep our focus on good routines, control and quality in all our operations,” said the future cross-country manager.  “At the same time it is important that the national team model offers the best sporting scheme for the skiers, and with room for individual adaptations.”
