Plastering the podium - even before the snow flies

September 18, 2024

Madshus racers plaster the podium and help themselves to a handsome collection of hardware at the 2025 FIS rollerski World Championships in Val di Fiemme (ITA). 

Madshus racers literally owned the podium at the final event at the 2025 FIS rollerski World Championships in Val di Fiemme (ITA). 

This weekend, Team Madshus capped off the 2025 FIS rollerski World Championships in Val di Fiemme (ITA) with a clean sweep of the podium in the men’s 15-kilometer uphill mass start on the infamous Alpe Cermis in Val di Fiemme (ITA):

Imanol Rojo (SPA) captured the gold medal going solo to the finish line in the brutal hill climb. Eight seconds later, Andreas Bergsland (NOR) earned the silver medal by a comfortable margin to fellow Norwegian Kasper Herland, who snagged the bronze medal. 

Just couple of hours earlier, Tilman Hartlieb (GER) won the junior men’s hill climb on Alpe Cermis. The gold medal was his second medal in four days. The 19-year-old also earned the bronze medal in the 10-kilometer skate race that opened the championship weekend. 

Additionally, World Cup rookie Karoline Grøtting (NOR) took home two silver medals from her first-ever World Championships: She was second at the 15-kilometer skate race that opened the events in Val di Fiemme on September 12 and helped Norway to second place in the team sprint on September 14. 

On the final hill climb up Alpe Cermis, the 23-year-old rolled in to a solid sixth place after leading much of the first half of the women’s race.
