Ronny Andre Hafsaas won the World Cup Cross-Country kick off in Beitostoelen (NOR) where he dominated over 15 km F individual start. 24 years old Hafsaas was trying to achieve similar results in Biathlon. However, he decided to quit biathlon: "I decided yesterday that I'm going to focus on cross-country only" said Ronny to NRK.

National team coach Morten Aa Djupvik welcomes Hafsas with open arms. "It is very good news for me" said Djupvik.
