Trond Iversen (born March 22, 1976 in Drammen ) is a former Norwegian cross-country skier who specialized in sprint competitions.

Career

Iversen, who started for the club Mjøndalen IF , made his international debut in the Cross-Country Continental Cup in December 1995. In the first four years he only started in lower-class races in his home country Norway. On March 8, 2000, he made his debut in the cross-country skiing world cup . In his first race in the Oslo sprint, he surprisingly achieved third place and thus his first podium.

For the 2000/01 season he started firmly in the senior national team, but did not come close to the performances in Oslo in March in the two sprint races. At Sprint in Asiago in February, after winning qualification, he finished second again on a very good podium. At the end of the season he was again on rank 11 in Oslo. The season Iversen finished a little later in 16th place in the Sprint World Cup and 39th overall.

Iversen had his most successful season to date in the winter of 2001/02 . A very good second place at the World Cup in Asiago was followed by a 19th place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . Shortly before the turn of the year, he again achieved a good top 10 position in Salzburg with seventh place. A few days later, he achieved his first World Cup victory in the sprint in Val di Fiemme . Despite poor results at the Norwegian Championships in Høydalsmo , he managed to jump into the team for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City . After a strong qualification in which he finished fourth, he finished sixth in the sprint final.

After another podium in Stockholm and 13th place in Oslo, he finished the season in first place in the Sprint World Cup ranking. In the overall World Cup ranking he was 12th. In the following three years he could not keep up with the world's best. Although he was able to regularly run into the points, he only achieved victories and podiums in lower-class FIS races.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2005 in Oberstdorf , Iversen ran in sprint to ninth place. In Lahti , he was again among the top ten in a World Cup race for the first time. Shortly afterwards, in Drammen , he just missed a World Cup podium again, finishing fourth after a long dry spell. At the end of the season, he secured his second and last World Cup victory in Gothenburg . In the overall standings of the season he finished 17th and won the small crystal ball in third place in the sprint standings.

At the start of the 2005/06 World Cup season , Iversen won the team sprint in Düsseldorf together with Johan Kjølstad . At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , he finished 17th in the sprint. From the 2006/07 season Iversen started in the Scandinavian Cup in parallel. Although he often ran in top positions in qualifications, podium finishes in the World Cup races were missing. His best result until February 2007 reached Iversen in Changchun with the fourth place. It was only in Drammen that he was third in the end and again achieved a podium position. In the overall sprint world cup standings, he finished second. For the previous Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 in Sapporo , he was not nominated despite third place in the sprint ranking.

In the following three years Iversen mostly lagged behind the competition. Only in FIS races did he get on the podium or celebrate victories. In 2010 he ended his active cross-country skiing career at the age of 34.
