For the first time since Alexander Dale Oen<\/strong> passed in 2012<\/a>, the Norwegian national team is back in Flagstaff, Arizona, training at the Wall Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

As national coach Petter L\u00f8vberg<\/strong> puts it, they need to move forward in Dale Oen’s memory, and also to go back to Flagstaff as part of that process.<\/p>\n

The High Performance Sport Center in Flagstaff was according to L\u00f8vberg one of Dale Oen’s favorite places for high altitude training, and a place where he over a 10 year period spent almost a year,\u00a0before he passed while on camp there.<\/p>\n

Norway’s national broadcasting company NRK has\u00a0this video<\/a> from the camp in Flagstaff.<\/p>\n
