Therese Johaug returns to the track just a week before the World Championships in Trondheim.
Norwegian skiing giant Therese Johaug36, has won 14 World Championship golds and a total of 19 World Championship medals in his amazing career, and more are on the hunt for the World Championship home games in Trondheim in February-March. The skiing queen is on schedule for perhaps the last World Cup of her career, Johaug’s coach warns her competitors Pål Gunnar Mikkelsplass.
Johaug has not competed in a World Cup since his Tour de Ski victory around the turn of the year, and he is also absent from this week’s Engadin Cup races and next week’s Cogne World Cup. Johaug will not return to the cup tracks until Falun in the middle of February, a good week before the start of the World Championships in Trondheim.
– Before the value competitions, he has always raised his level after being able to pull the training period after the hard competition period. The Tour de Ski was a good idea (bringing a tough competition feeling), and although the final answers will only be given at the World Cup, I think we are on the right track in World Cup preparations, says Mikkelsplass.
– The danger is always too much enthusiasm (in training), but I believe that everything will go well. He takes it a little more loose now than he used to.
