Career

Dybendahl made her debut in the Cross-Country World Cup on March 2, 1986. The year before, she had won her first national title at the Norwegian Championships in 1985 with the relay. At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary , she won the silver medal in the 4 x 10 km relay together with Marit Mikkelsplass , Anne Jahre and Marianne Dahlmo . In 1989, she also won her first national individual title in the sprint. A year later she won her first World Cup sprint over 7.5 km on January 14, 1990 in Moscow . In March Dybendahl celebrated two more World Cup victories in Örnsköldsvik and Vang . With third place in the overall World Cup, she achieved the best season result of her career in the 1989/90 season.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1991 in Val di Fiemme , Dybendahl secured the world championship title over 5 km in classic style. She also won silver over 15 km and bronze with the relay. At their second Winter Olympics in Albertville in 1992 , Dybendahl again won silver with the Norwegian cross-country relay. For the first time she also competed in the individual disciplines. Her best individual result was eighth over 15 km. A year later started Dybendahl at the World Championships in 1993 in the Swedish Falun . She could not defend her title from 1991 and only went home with two bronze medals. In March 1993 Dybendahl celebrated her fifth World Cup victory in Lillehammer .

In the 1993/94 World Cup season , Dybendahl started weakly, but easily qualified for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer . Together with Inger Helene Nybråten , Anne Jahre and Marit Mikkelsplass, she won her third Olympic silver medal in the relay. In the individual races she was again empty. After the games she married the cross-country skier Ebbe Hartz and took his name as a double name. In November 1994 Dybendahl-Hartz first took part in the Cross-Country Continental Cup and was fourth in Beitostølen . But she remained in the World Cup squad despite ever weaker results. At the 1995 World Championships in Thunder Bay , she remained for the first time without a medal. On December 18, 1996, she won her sixth World Cup in Oberstdorf . In the same winter, Dybendahl-Hartz also achieved the seventh and final World Cup victory in Sunne. In the 1996/97 World Cup she was able to reach fifth place in the Sprint World Cup . At her fourth and last Olympic Winter Games in 1998 , the now 32-year-old Dybendahl-Hartz started again in the individual disciplines, but had no chance and ultimately had to stop the race prematurely over the 30 km distance. At the end of the 1997/98 season , she ended her active World Cup career, but continued to take part in cross-country skiing events both nationally and internationally.

At the Norwegian Championships in 1999 , she started again in the relay and secured another national title. In total, she won 19 gold, eleven silver and eight bronze medals at national level.

Dybendahl divorced after the end of her career and took her maiden name again. She became a ski and mental trainer and founded Trude Dybendahl AS, a company that includes a ski school and a consulting firm for talent development. With her ski school she is active in both winter and summer. In 2007 she published the book Større Skiflede med Bedre Teknikk , which was published in Kagge Forlag. She also published several DVDs with training videos. Even during her active time, Dybendahl was involved in charities and was awarded by the Norwegian Red Cross in 1990.
