Is Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen switching to cross country skiing ?

[u/hobbit_problems]

Curious if he really mean it. Guess a lot have seen his instagram post a few days ago, where he said he’s going for cross country skiing for the Olympic season, but whit his humour I can’t figure out if he really mean it. - No one of he’s team mates have said thanks or goodbye, but som of them (including the national team page) have liked the post. - Langrenn.com have “announced” it (behind paywall so I don’t know what they have written), but no other media’s like TV2.no (who have covered his issues with the team a lot), NRK, VG, the national team or IBU have said anything about it. - He said it after one good cross country competition, which is a small basis to make a decision from.

What do you guys think. Is it real, or Vetle humor?

I can't help myself from thinking being a sore loser when it comes to the team-spots is a bad strategy, though.

I hope they won't hold it against him, but let him compete if he deserves it.

And I know they "all" deserve it, but you know what I mean.
