Norwegian skiing king Johannes Høsflot Klæbo misses the season premiere in Beitostølen.
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is not ready for competition after recently having covid-19.
“It is too early to take the risk by competing. The body doesn’t feel ready. But I would have liked to have been there, both to test the body and the new ski suit that Ola (the brother) has sewn,” says Klæbo in a press release.
“I have started with lighter training after covid, but I am not yet ready for tough races”.

The 27-year-old says that it is too early to say whether there will be a start in the World Cup premiere in Ruka in about a week.
Four other Norwegian national team stars are also said to miss the premiere due to corona infection: Didrik Tønseth, Håvard Solås Taugbøl, Sjur Røthe and Tiril Udnes Weng.
