Nordic Ski World Cup
At the same time to silver: cross-country star Johaug is missing centimeters
The spectators in the granases skier are offered big sport at the skiathlon. Her cross-country ski queen missed gold. Victoria Carl cannot intervene in the fight for the medals.
Norway’s cross-country star Therese Johaug missed the title in the skiathlon at her home World Cup. The 36 -year -old four -time Olympic champion had to give up in the gripping final sprint of a memorable race of the Swede Ebba Andersson. Both athletes were rated at the same time, a few centimeters decidedly about gold and silver. Bronze won the Swede Jonna Sundling.
Victoria Carl took ninth place as the best German. The 29-year-old was left behind early in the race over 20 kilometers.
Norwegian slips away from the ski
The strong Norwegians and Swedes ran a high pace right from the start. In difficult conditions in the rainy granases skier, a group of six settled.
During the change of skiing after ten kilometers in classic technology, the Norwegian Astrid Öyre Slind passed a mishap: a ski slipped away, Slind hurriedly hurried behind, but fell back. “Something like that happens again and again,” said German team boss Peter Schlickenrieder on ZDF. “You are often further in your head and not yourself when you ski change.” Sundling and Norwegian Heidi Weng took every chance of gold.
German cross -country skiers hope for team competitions
The best German runner Carl was considered an outsider candidate for a medal. In the World Cup, the team sprint Olympic champion from 2022 made it twice on the podium this season – each in races over ten kilometers. However, the German cross -country team has the biggest medal hopes in the team competitions.
