World Championship medallist Tore Ruud Hofstad is focusing on being better at what he is best at – skating.
Hofstad is therefore training specifically for skating towards next season, and will let classical technique training suffer a bit.
, but since it now has become 15 km, it is tougher for me technique </p>
<p><I>(Editor: The World Cup pursuit used to be 10 km classical followed by 10 km skate, but has now been changed to 15 km classical followed by 15 km skate).</I></p>
<p>Tore’s adjustments does not mean he he is putting the classical style on the shelf.</p>
<p>– I have not given up as a classical technique skier, or as a pursuit event contender. I have just directed more of my focus where I think I can do the best.</p>
<p>His increased skate training seems to work well – already in June he performed a personal best on his rollerski time-trial, on a course he annually does several times per year.</p>

Training mostly on what he’s already good at
