At the Beijing Olympics, a surprise winner was achieved in the cross-country women’s cross-country when Germany was number one. Kerttu Niskanen and Krista Pärmäkoski were left fourth.
ZHANGJIAKOU. Hardly anyone could have imagined this in the Beijing Olympics women’s sprint. Germany comes first over the finish line. The festivities do not begin in Sweden, Norway, Finland or Russia, but Katharina Hennigin and Victoria Carlin joy.
To top it all off, Carlin, the German anchor, didn’t even have to compete in the pair sprint, but replaced it with a quick alert. Katherine Sauerbreyn.
Carl defeated the Swedish sprint Olympic winner in the final match Jonna Sundlingin and Russian Natalia Neprjajevan.
– It was really confusing, especially when taking a gold medal for a reserve skier. Carlin shouldn’t have been skiing, but he’s deciding on a gold medal, from Sports Experts Jussi Piirainen mood.
Another expert at Zhangjiakou Ski Stadium was also confused Toni Roponen.
– This was great for cross-country skiing, Roponen glowed.
According to Roponen, Hennig has risen to a new level this season, and Carl’s tough track profiles fit him. Hennig was Fifth in the regular and Carl sprint in the semifinals.
Germany took second surprise medal on the women’s side in cross-country skiing. In the message, Germany had previously sensationally skied for silver.
– During the message, some false jaws talked about the German skis. Today, Germany did not have any better skis than Finland. The top countries had pretty even skis, Roponen acknowledged.
Finland’s tactics were not enough for medals
Before the race, a lot of smoke was smoked in Finland Krista Pärmäkoski and Kerttu Niskasen opportunities for medals. There was even talk of the possibility of winning the Olympics. However, Niskanen and Pärmäkoski were bluntly fourth.
– Finland’s tactic was to try to get others off the sled at a brisk pace. From there, however, others were always able to get back. At the end of the final round, neither woman had enough tense to settle the race. Today was not enough, Piirainen said.
According to Roponen, it was surprising that the teams stayed together for a long time.
– The expected value was that the group would tear a lot more. However, Kerttu and Krista are pretty purebred skiers on a normal trip. Germany, Russia and Sweden easily remained close. They were able to handle the maximal acids generated better than more endurance-focused skiers, Roponen says.
However, before the last ascent to the stadium, Krista Pärmäkoski was still struggling for medals with three other teams.
– In the end, it was clear that Krista was unfortunately only stiffening, Roponen decided.
The pace of Pärmäkoski actually froze when he and Sundling’s skis collided before the last ascent to the stadium.
– Both were looking for the same trail and both of them went a little fast. Russia and Germany escaped and I was hit by acid so much that I could no longer respond. It’s annoying, but today there were three teams better than us, Pärmäkoski said.
