Norway hires new speedskating coach

OSLO (AP) The Norwegian Skating Association has appointed Jarle Pedersen as coach of the national speedskating team after dismissing American Peter Mueller for alleged sexual harassment.

Pedersen, a 54-year-old Norwegian, coaches the Bergen-based Fana IL speedskating team and previously coached the national junior skating team. His appointment was announced Wednesday.

Mueller was fired Monday for alleged sexual harassment because of an inappropriate remark last month to skater Maren Haugli.

Mueller apologized but denied the remark constituted sexual harassment.

Norway's speedskating team is to travel with Pedersen to the United States on Thursday to prepare for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
