Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen stared his season in Kontiolahti with a series of solid results, but the 30-year-old is aiming to higher goals this winter. After finishing 4th in the total score last season, he wants to give himself a chance to fight for the big crystal globe.

During our chat around the tracks of North Karelia, the Norwegian opened up on several topics, including his love for singing – which is not matched by his teammates’ love to hear him singing -, the story behind his trademark half-faced selfies, and his love for croissants and candies.

Join the walk and listen to a charming chat with this fan favourite athlete from Geilo.
