“The selection process was rather easy”, says the Latvian National team Coach Jari Ikaheimonen. “Our strongest runners this year get to run what they wish, and those who've had World Cup as their main goal get to start too. All of our top runners will be running in Cesis!”
“In addition we have a handful of runners making their international debut in this World Cup - a special treat to the audience is a female Relay team that consist of 18 year old ladies only. It is a rare opportunity for the future talents to practice competing at the highest possible level in front of a home crowd!” Jari Ikaheimonen tells.
