They have been in love with each other for many years.
Now comes Calle Halfvarsson with another cheeky pass.

They have heckled, taunted and sent sneers at each other throughout their careers and really fueled the rivalry between neighboring countries Sweden and Norway. Now this weekend they actually meet again during the roller skiing competition Alliansloppet in Trollhättan.

And it’s a Northug that comes in great shape.
– He does it damn well. Incredibly good, actually, Halfvarsson admits to SportExpressen.
– But he also trains like hell. I almost think he exercises more than when he was active. I don’t understand where he gets his motivation from? But Petter has a pretty nice bank account. So he can do whatever he wants and just train all day without thinking about anything else.

Then Calle is reminded of what is happening in Northug’s life right now and he himself has seen the news about the housing situation.
– Yes, I saw that. Maybe it’s not so good in that bank account anyway?, says the Swede in the interview and makes a nice offer to his arch-rival.
– Petter can stay with me – I have a guest room. Two even. So it’s going great!
