Madshus athletes have not been wasting their summer. At the Blink Summer Ski Festival in Sandnes, Norway, this weekend, they swept up the awards across the board.
Heidi Weng set the stage with a blowout victory in the brutal uphill roller ski race Lysebotn Opp on Thursday afternoon.
On Friday, Madshus cross-country skier Barbro Kvaale (NOR) followed Weng’s example: Kvaale collected all the preems and the overall victory in the mass start.

On Saturday, Kvaale kept it up, winning the sprint race from start to finish. She won her quarterfinal and her semifinal, and then cruised solo into victory in the final in one of the most competitive fields in the history of the Blink Festival.
The Blink Summer Ski Festival celebrated its 10 anniversary this year. Next year, the festival expands to four days, adding a long-distance classic race that will be a part of the new World Classic Tour.
