What speaks?
On Sunday, Trondheim’s World Championships experienced a truly dramatic women’s combination race, but one name shone in its absence.
Sports Expert Aino-Kaisa Saarinen pre -hit Therese Johaugin and Frida Karlsson The winning battle, but Karlsson was not seen.
Johaug struggled to win another Swedish Ebba Andersson against. Andersson was stronger on the goal line.
Karlsson was fourth in the final race when a teammate Jonna Sundling stretched to bronze.
– Karlsson was really soft on the traditional section. He fell from the sled. Sure, he rose to fight for good investments in the free skiing, but Karlsson’s softness does not promise a grateful position to continue, Saarinen estimates.
Swedish magazine Expressen by Disappointed Karlsson was in tears after the race. He was not completely satisfied with his skis and was annoyed by the breakdown of his World Championship medal tube.
Karlsson won the medal in five World Championships in a row starting from the 30 kilometer race of the 2021 Oberstdorf World Cup.
Surprise
Although Jonna Sundling took the bronze medal, she was also offered a world championship.
Sundling was Norwegian Heidi Wengin and with Johaug and Andersson for endurance machines, it’s going for the final round in the top group.
However, Sundling crashed in the last bend of the stadium. Weng fell after Sundling.
Aino-Kaisa Saarinen was surprised by Sundling’s mistake.
– He pushed himself into the inside and practically lost a gold medal in his own mistake. It was strange that he collapsed into this, says Saarinen.
Flop
Saarinen considered Norway as a flop Astrid ore Slind.
Before the combination competition, an experienced Norwegian had just been left out three times from the podium of the World Cup this season.
However, Slind’s race went a plush in ski change.
Slind ran away in the situation. He had to get it and time was wasted. Slind fell from the top.
After the speech, the free portion went poorly. Slind did not finish until the eighth and almost one and a half minutes from the tip.
-I thought Slind would be tough in the combined race and would fight for the World Championship medals. He was in the bow after the traditional part, but then accidentally kicked his skis out of the exchange area.
– When Slind did that, he would still have time to get up. He was completely messed up. Slind was quite a flop.
What on earth?
On Sunday, Trondheim spoke a chamber. There were several coil warnings throughout the county area: flood, landslide and mud warning warnings.
In the morning and during the day there was plenty of water from the sky.
On Saturday, over 40,000 people followed the men’s combination competition in the stadium and in the woods.
Although Sunday’s weather was reduced by the crowd, met a pretty skiing Norwegian.
Leif had come to camp on Wednesday along the World Championships and was about to stay in the woods until the end of the race for the next Monday, for a total of one and a half week. Everything was well on Leif despite the weak weather.
– These Norwegians, EPN reporter Petra Manner She was amazed while visiting Leif Tent.
What next?
The first week of the race was now completed at the Trondheim World Championships.
In Finnish, the races began in cross -country skiing with a giant surprise when Lauri Vuorinen stretched to the historic sprint World Championship bronze.
Then, on Saturday, the men’s combined race saw one of the worst races in Finnish World Cup history.
On Sunday, the best Finn was seventh Krista Pärmäkoski.
– Lauri Vuorinen’s top bet surprised us all and made the race stunning. However, it has been a single giant. I don’t remember the last time it was so difficult, Saarinen is amazed.
– Krista Pärmäkoski was okay, Jasmmi Joensuu The placement in the sprint was there (9th). Otherwise, it has felt like access to the top 30 has been a lottery win.
So Saarinen thinks that Finns have had one giant. Others have been medium or a little weaker.
The second World Championship Week begins with the historically successful Finnish skiing ten kilometers on Tuesday.
Saarinen focuses on women’s race especially when the winner of the men’s race Iivo Niskanen He had to skip the World Championships for influenza.
Kerttu Niskanen Withdrew from Sunday’s combination competition to focus on Tuesday’s competition.
– Kerttu is one of the medal favorites, but still a challenger. The opportunities are good, but the condition of the day shows. Hopefully the service and tone are in order, Saarinen says.
Fourth members will also be sought for a possible World Championship medal trip on Friday. Coach Ville Maunuksela said directly in an interview with that there are already three strong skiers in the message: Jasmi Joensuu, Kerttu Niskanen and Krista Pärmäkoski.
Aino-Kaisa Saarinen has previously flagged Vilma On behalf of the third leg for free skiing.
As a second alternative he sees the team Johanna Matintalon, who is required to have evidence as a traditional skiing expert on Tuesday.
– There was no wedding screen from Vilma on Sunday (28th). Now the ball has been thrown to Johanna. He should show that he is in good shape and in great mood. Then he rises to the message team, Saarinen sees.
