Who is Ragnhild Haga? Wiki, Skier, Net Worth, Gold Medal & Facts To Know

Ragnhild Haga was not the crowd favorite at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in the women’s cross-country skiing event. Haga was competing against Charlotte Kalla of Sweden. According to Haga, she was frightened of Kalla because of the latter’s commendable performance as a skier.

Haga accelerated during the second lap, taking a huge lead while crossing the 8.4-km split and kept her speed up until the finish line. She kept herself motivated during the last downhill so that she wouldn't do something silly and miss out on the opportunity to win the gold medal for her country.

The net worth of Ragnhild Haga is still under review, but by looking at the career-graph of Haga, it can be estimated that she has earned a fair amount of net worth for herself. Haga used to do ski orienteering in the summers and cross-country skiing in the winter. However, at the age of 18, she took a break from that to concentrate on cross-country skiing. Haga made her World Cup debut in 2010, but the World Cup 2015 Season brought her into the limelight.

Haga went ahead and secured 4th place in the 2015 Tour de Ski. Though it was heart-breaking for Haga to finish just short of the top three in the 2015 Tour de Ski, the skier took it in stride and worked hard to bounce back. Her net worth is also slowly but steadily building up as her performance graph goes up.

Ragnhild Haga used both Fischer skis and Fischer boots this time around in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. She's not just the 10-km freestyle cross-country skiing gold medalist; Haga also took to podium for the freestyle 30-km mass-start as she finished third, beating Charlotte Kalla.

Haga had to miss two seasons because of an illness. The years 2011/2012 and 2013/2014 were a dreadful time for Haga as she was recovering from her illness. It is commendable how Ragnhild Haga bounced back and proved her mettle to everybody. Ragnhild Haga took 25 minutes and 0.5 seconds to finish her 10 km freestyle cross-country skiing. Haga is ranked 9th in cross-country skiing with all her podium finishes this year.
