Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling received their gold medals on the square in Trondheim.
Then the former, who now lives in the Norwegian city, took the opportunity to mock the inhabitants.
– We felt we wanted to thank the team and we wanted to send a small cock, she tells Sportbladet.
Already during the World Cup 2021 in Oberstdorf and during the 2022 Olympics in Beijing Compared Maja Dahlqvist30, and Jonna Sundling30, together. They formed a dreaded duo and then took the World Cup gold and Olympic silver in team sprint. 2023 Jonna won the World Cup gold instead Emma Ribombut during the ongoing World Cup in Trondheim, it was again Maja, who came four in the sprint, who gained confidence next to Jonna.
Swedish ladies have been incredible
She managed the chance in the best possible way. Jonna and Maja led the team sprint from start to finish and clinched the gold before the US and Switzerland. The home team Norway came only seven, a full 56 seconds after Sweden, and had to be ashamed.
– It was heavy and dark. It is boring and hard when it is such a lovely audience. They deserved more, so it’s just apologizing, says Kristine Stavås Skistad to TV2.

It was Jonna Sundling’s third medal in the World Cup, when she has already taken a gold in sprint and a bronze in skiathlon (20 km). Add to that Ebba Andersson impressed with everyone by winning just the skiathlon and 10 km classic, both times just before Therese Johaug. The Swedish ladies have really performed at the absolute highest level and got the Norwegians to dream nightmares about them.

Of course, she meant that Sweden won gold at all distances so far in the World Cup, on the women’s side.
– We felt we wanted to thank the team and we wanted to send a small cock. For our taxi driver on the way here said that “if you have taken a gold you can not be so cocky but if you have taken four you can actually be”. So we felt we had to take the opportunity, says Dahlqvist to Sportbladet.
Congratulations to the gold medals, Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling! You are absolutely incredible! Hope you continue in the same way in the future.
