During the late 2021–22 FIS Cross-Country World Cup season, he collected World Cup points with 22nd places in Lahti and Holmenkollen, and began the 2022–23 season with a 15th place in the Beitostølen sprint. He equalled that placement in March 2023 in Lahti, and improved further to a 14th place in the Lahti 20 kilometres in March 2024.[1]
