Trondheim ski trails have spoken at the dawn of the World Cup. The race tracks have been so icy in the morning that, for example, the Swedish team moved their workout on Tuesday elsewhere.
Swedish star Edvin Anger kept Hard trails even life -threatening. Also Sprint’s double world champion Jonna Sundling admitted that he was afraid of his training loop.
On Tuesday, the Swedes moved their exercise to another place. Finns act differently, but it required waiting.
– We went to the service room. They laughed and waited for an hour there. After that we went to practice and got a good workout, the responsibility of the sprint coaching Ville Oksanen told STT.
Norwegian race organizers did not drive the trails again on Tuesday, which surprised, for example, the Finnish Lubrication Manager Heikki Tonter. According to Tonter, after one run, the banans would have been in top condition.
Sports Expert Ville Nousiainen On Tuesday, the icy tracks could even be a Sabotage of Norwegian people, which would seek advantage of ski maintenance when other countries cannot test their skis as much as they would.
– When you look around, there is quite a lot of snow here, it’s not about it. Yes they want to get a competitive advantage. They have driven it at a certain time at a certain time to get the track mirror so no one can test in the morning, Nousiainen downloaded.
In Norway
The above speculations were completely crazy in Norway. CEO of the World Cup Åge Skinstad told To Iltalehtithat the tracks are icy in the mornings after cold nights. During the day, the temperature rises and the tracks soften.
– False – so full of lie. I promise this is not a Norwegian tactic, Skinstad exclaimed.
Superstar John Kläbo I considered Nousiainen’s claims “perhaps the stupidest thing he has heard.”
– There is nothing for the weather. They should have been worth looking at the weather forecasts in advance. This can shine and rain or snow within a short period of time. This is certainly the case in the World Cup. Welcome to Trondheim, Kläbo would speak According to Dagbladet.
World Championships Daniel Myhrmael Helgestad dispute The views of the Finnish expert in an interview with Expressen.
According to Helgestad, the trails were not driven due to snow shortages to keep them in the best possible condition in Thursday’s sprints.
– We try to make the most fair race as possible for all countries. There is no conspiracy here. That hasn’t even happened to me.
On Wednesday, a better track
Finland’s top printer, leader of the World Cup sprinting cup Jasmmi Joensuu Has not bothered their heads with or whether the Norwegians are tearing up the situation.
On Wednesday evening, Joensuu was asked what his overall view was when there was enough talk about the weather, the track and the circumstances before the World Cup.
“It’s the same for everyone and everyone is skiing in it, so it’s not worth thinking about it too much,” Joensuu said.
So you haven’t bothered your head, does it rain on the Norwegian lair?
– Not at all.
Joensuu has noticed that the bills of the track are quite rampant, but the work clips are clear.
– Especially one of them is long enough. You have to dare to keep up with it. It’s my strength, and I have to dare to do it in the race, Joensuu said.
The preparation has gone brilliantly with Finland’s number one sprinter.
– Everything has gone completely as planned. It’s a great situation tomorrow to enjoy the track. The biggest problem has been that it has had to come up with what the problem is. Feeling really relaxed. It’s the best situation that can be.
Joensuu has risen to the podium level this season in the World Cup, but at the same time, all the toughest stars in Sweden and Norway are facing the World Cup.
In any case, Joensuu will go to the value races from the new situation compared to the past.
– It sounds great to be one of the pre -favorites, but I’m going to the challenger. It’s pretty tough opponents on the line. Anything is possible. Value races are rarely competed that they are exciting places for everyone.
Joensuu does not say the target goal. The goal is to be able to say at the end of the day that he was not left behind.
The Trondheim of the stadium is downright flamboyant, and the fine race atmosphere for the skiing has already been in Joensuu’s mind.
-2011 I was able to ski the youth message at the Oslo World Cup. It was then said that there would never be such an audience. Now at least we get close. Pretty crazy feeling.
Finnish men’s number one printer Lauri Vuorinen says that the condition of the track depends a lot on what time it is driven.
– Today on Wednesday was pretty good already, a little softer. Yes, it was good yesterday when the sun started to warm up after the morning ice.
According to Vuorinen, the first long ascent is worth getting first.
– Although there is a long decline before the finish line, there is no way to go by. That way, a fair and fair course.
