After two straight World Cup silver, one last chance is now waiting for Therese Johaug to take that individual gold in Trondheim.
TV2 expert Petter Solng Skinstad summarizes the star’s championship so far.
– 1.4 seconds from two gold, he tells the Sports Bible.
There was another silver medal for Therese Johaug36, in the World Cup in Trondheim during Tuesday’s 10 km in classic style, individual start. Ebba Andersson27, once again became too difficult for the Norwegian star who was a second slower into the goal.
Three Norwegian World Cup silver for the ladies
There were high expectations for the race, especially after Sunday’s even competition between Johaug and Andersson. The Swede beat Johaug with a toenail, or at least a ski tip, and could celebrate another Swedish gold. Jonna Sundling30, won the first gold in the World Cup sprint on Thursday.

Ebba Andersson managed to repeat the company in the 10-kilometer race. In the dense snowy weather in Granåsen she went lightning fast and Johaug had to chase the heels. In the end, Therese Johaug failed to beat the Swede and ended 1.3 seconds behind. Thus, the Norwegian ladies have taken three silver out of three possible so far in the World Cup – Johaug has two and Kristine Stavås Skistad have one.
Expert’s words about Therese Johaugs World Cup
So far, the World Cup has not gone as Johaug planned. Before the championship, she had made it clear that she had not made a comeback just to participate and participate-she would win the World Cup gold. The Tour de Ski winner has so far failed to follow up the ambitions.

The former skier, now the TV2 expert, Petter Solng Skinstad Think Johaug still showed nice form, especially in Tuesday. However, it has not been enough all the way.
– Strong opening, but a little bad luck. 1.4 seconds from two gold, he tells the Sports Bible.
Johaug is a big favorite in the five -mile, which will take place on Sunday, the last day of the championship. The expert believes that it can be a perfect opportunity for Therese Johaug to strike back against the Swedes.
– She is probably extremely revenge sucker! Just look forward to the five -mile with terrified delight, he says.
How do you think it goes in the women’s five miles? Will Therese Johaug win the World Cup gold in the end or will anyone else take home the victory? Feel free to comment!
