Every year the top U18 American athletes qualify for the Scando Cup Trip based on their performance in the first three races at U.S. Nationals. Coach Etienne Bordes (Tahoe Endurance) is with this year’s team in Gjøvik and shares these updates.
This trip receives substantial financial support from the National Nordic Foundation. You can find out more about NNF here, and can donate to support future athletes on future trips here.
Here’s Etienne:
