Controversial decision by skiing star Maja Dahlqvist

The ski season is approaching.
Then Swedish star Maja Dahlqvist is in the US with her boyfriend.
And she trains with Norwegian Johannes Hösflot Kläbo.

Ski star Maja Dahlqvist, 29, has a solid season behind him. For example, she won the overall Sprint Cup for the second year in a row, and took an individual and a team bronze in the WC.

During the summer, people have been able to follow Dahlqvist’s pre-season in social media. Her training has, among other things, consisted of tunneling in Värmland and high-altitude training in Italy, together with her teammates Lynn Svahn and Frida Karlsson. Now the 29-year-old has traveled on to the United States.

She is there with her boyfriend and skiing colleague Kevin Bolger, 30. On location in the states, Dahlqvist has acted as an instructor at a ski camp for children, reports VG. But she has also been working out. Not only with her boyfriend, but also with the Norwegian Johannes Hösflot Kläbo26.

Kläbo has proven himself as the best cross-country skier on the men’s side in recent years. Just like Dahlqvist, he took home the overall sprint cup last season, for the fifth time in his career.

Hösflot Kläbo comments

The 26-year-old has dropped out of the Norwegian national team and is training on his own. He is a big competitor for the Swedish ski men as well as Dahlqvist’s compatriots, with skiers like William Poromaa, Calle Halfvarsson and Edwin Anger.

For VG, Kläbo confirms the plans to train with the Swede.
– It has mostly been a solo session. I had a few sessions with some Canadians, and I will probably run more sessions with Kevin Bolger and Maja Dahlqvist when they come to town, he says.
