Madshus racer Heidi Weng (NOR) stepped up her game after her international breakthrough season last year with an incredible and consistent performance throughout the 2013 season.
The talented 21-year-old won medals at the World Championships only in her second season racing at the senior level, and consistently delivered podium finishes on the World Cup from December through March.
Last week, Heidi Weng capped the season with yet another medal at the Norwegian national championships, an effort that landed her the Norwegian Ski Association’s stipend for the best female racer at the Norwegian National Championships. The award is given to the top male and female racer based on all the four individual distances at the Norwegian National Championships.
In addition, Weng was awarded the prestigious Olav Eikrehagens Stipend, given to the top Norwegian U23 female and male.
