TROENDELAG DUO
Together with his lifelong friend and fellow speed skater, Odin By Farstad, he forms the self-named "Troendelag Duo", after the region they hail from. Both got their first Junior World Cup podium in the same weekend, and hope they could pull off something like that in Beijing. "I think our eternal competition has been crucial for us to get to where we are today." (aftenbladet.no, 19 Jul 2021)
