– This is not terribly often seen that durable athletes are confronted with the rest of the rush. Here were two skiing women with strengths on the endurance side. They have rarely competed in such endings, Sports Expert Kalle Lassila wondered at the report.
World champion Ebba Andersson described his feelings as incredible.
– It felt tired in the traditional skiing. I found new forces in free. I had such a good ski. I thought I wouldn’t lift my back now, Andersson described to Sports after the competition.
Johaug sighed to was really tight and was pleased with his skiing.
Before the last round it seemed that it seemed that Jonna Sundling It would be a favorite to win in the final race. Johaug, Andersson, Heidi Weng And Sundling, better known as a sprinter, was in a barren.
However, Sundling crashed in the stadium’s end of the stadium and fell from the top fight in a crash with Heidi Weng. Weng went bust in the same rush.
– That can be considered Sundling as a negligence error. One should not get into the event, Lassila estimates.
Later, Lassila wondered if Sundling even got a little jacket open in that bend.
Andersson had a succinct view of what had happened if Sundling and Weng had stayed up to the end.
“It would have been much harder to be here as a winner,” Andersson summarized.
The Norwegian star in the past Astrid ore Slind Had fallen from the winning battle as he ran away from a free skiing ski during a ski change.
Slind pushed another ski on his own ski.
– That’s a terrible situation for the athlete. Slind was no longer able to respond to the speed of the top group. Of course, after such a case, it is difficult to estimate the flow of free skiing, Lassila estimates.

The best Finn had reached seventh Krista Pärmäkoski. Finland also saw special moments in the competition when Vilma He set off in the wrong direction at the stadium in the middle of the race.
In addition Jasmin I go skiing past his own place in ski change.

The combination competition was another screen for the message race. Maunuksela said bluntly that Finland has quite a sure -fire three skiers in Finland. Jasmmi Joensuu, Kerttu Niskanen and Krista Pärmäkoski. Now, for the first time in the World Cup, women ski 7.5 kilometers in the message. It creates its own spice in a message.
– Last season in the World Cup at 7.5 kilometers, the differences between the teams were big. The coaching must calculate in which quad and in what order the best time will be, Maunuksela said and referred to how you do not expect a final battle in the message because of longer skiing shares.
