What speaks?
Norwegian superstar Johannes Hösflot Kläbo On Saturday he took his second world championship for another trip in his home country in the Trondheim World Championships. Kläboa has long been considered an almost perfect skier, but on Saturday he also achieved something new.
Kläbo now took his first world championship on normal trips when he was number one in the combination competition.
Sports Expert Aino-Kaisa Saarinen admired Kläbo’s activities.
– Kläbo ski with the nasal breath with the group. As if he had been on a ski trip with his friends. Then he comes in the final round and wins.
– In the first two races, KläBon has not had to ski full. For him, such a hiking skiing has had enough, Saarinen exclaimed.
Kläbo can now also make incredible history in his World Cup home competition and wins all six races, as Finland’s number one star Iivo Niskanen Due to influenza, absence from the race was confirmed.
Kläbo would have been a tough healthy neck on the next race trip on a traditional ten on Tuesday.
Surprise
Saarinen was surprised by the Italian Konkari in the combined race Federico Pellegrino. The skiing Pellegrino, who was skiing in his last World Championships, was in the top of the top, although he is better known as a sprint.
Pellegrino was the first non-Norwegian to cross the finish line on Saturday. The Italian was fifth.
-Pellegrino has previously skied good investments on normal travel, but now he was even the best non-Norwegian. Pellegrino is now in really good shape, Saarinen incense.
Flop
The Finnish men made a historically bad result in Saturday’s combination race. Remi Lindholm was the best Finn 32nd.
Only once in the previous World Championship history the best Finn has been worse: at the Seefeld World Championships in 2019 in the Women’s Sprint.
After the race, Finnish men told about their ski problems with the traditional section.
– Let’s hope that service was the only flop day now. These traditional skis were apparently non -competitive. For the whole team, there was a mass disruption. Athletes did not get a good job and did not receive any help, Saarinen described.
What on earth?
At the Trondheim World Cup, we could expect a great atmosphere, but it still struck.
TV photos showed how some had climbed into the trees to watch the race, some tented and some also torch along the track.
– It’s pretty wild, EPN’s narrator Kimmo Porttila stated.
According to the NRK, the men’s ski race followed over 40,000 spectators on the spot.
29,000 tickets had been sold to the ski race. In addition, the racing boss Åge Skinstad estimates that 10,000 to 15,000 people followed in the forests.
The mood in the forests of the university city was also described as humid, including the Swedish magazine Expressen in report. About skiers Andrew Musgrave He said he smelled alcohol on the track everywhere and considered it incredibly stunning. Austrian Mika Vermeulen was on the same line.
– I loved that. I inhaled the smell of liquor and got a little drunk myself, Vermeulen said.
Authorities were also concerned that minors, up to 13 years of age, would celebrate in the World Cup and use intoxicants. Warning from schools from schools. Winter holiday week in Trondheim.
However, not all of the race events were enough, as Saturday NRK reported Public mass effort before women’s ski jump team competition. The World Cup organization is now intending to take action so that the same will not happen in the future.
What next?
If on Saturday it was moist outside the trails, on Sunday, wet going will also be hung on the tracks.
According to the weather forecasts, Trondheim is expected to rain on Sunday as the women’s combination competition is competed.
Swedish is also expected of that race Frida Karlsson and Norwegian Therese Johaugin Duration of victory. The topic has also been a psychological game of the duo before the race.
Johaug announced that Karlsson was a big favorite and kept the Swedish previous race in the World Cup for fear. In mid -January, Karlsson won a 20 kilometer joint start competition in the traditional skiing. Injuries suffered by Karlsson laughed at how Johaug tried to downplay herself.
Also NRK expert and former top skier Martin Johnsrud Sundby considered Johaug’s activities clumsyfor Johaug has won both combination races this season.
Aino-Kaisa Saarinen, led by Karlsson and Johaug, is waiting for a furious win. Finland’s number one name Krista Pärmäkoski praised his water skis in advance, but Saarinen does not expect much from the Finns.
– Kerttu Niskanen Could have been fighting for good investments with the tip. Let’s hope women are able to stretch. Still, I do not believe that anyone will reach the medal, even if there is a day of oil, Saarinen describes.
