– Yes, no one would have thought that, I think. It was you. I was very hungry for revenge from yesterday, because I think I have made progress this year and I think I was a bit far behind yesterday, Weng says to news. She was 39.6 seconds behind Johaug during Saturday’s classic race, but afterwards she was clear that she was looking forward to Sunday’s freestyle race more. And there was a real drama between Weng and Johaug, with the former taking the win just six tenths ahead of Johaug. – This brings life to everyone. Do you think there is a good atmosphere in Sweden today? I think this creates tension going into the World Cup weekend where more people realize that it’s not just about Therese Johaug, says news expert Martin Johnsrud Sundby. Johaug went out in a clear lead, but Weng started soon after and actually led by 2.6 seconds at the first measurement after 1.3 kilometres. – What does Therese Johaug think now when she hears that Heidi Weng has opened more quickly, said news expert Fredrik Aukland. For the next few kilometres, the duo followed each other, but Weng maintained a lead of around three seconds and thus there was real drama all the way to the finish line. Johaug gave everything up on the last hill, but did not go perfectly technically, news’s experts believed. – She fusses a little too much. She works. The head wants to, but the body is not completely on board, said news expert Fredrik Aukland. – It is rare that we have seen Johaug show those facial expressions, that she is so tired. This costs! But it was worth it, because after 8.1 kilometers only 0.2 seconds separated them. – It was hard. It was difficult to ski well. The skis just slipped from me, said Johaug to news. – Heidi is a warrior at the end, so I think it will be a victory over Weng. Johaug got it right. Weng gave everything in the last meters and finished 0.6 seconds ahead of Johaug. Astrid Øyre Slind took third place. Published 24.11.2024, at 12.26 Updated 24.11.2024, at 12.37 p.m
