27 November 2022 at 12:50 Karlsson’s violent jerk shocked the experts: – It’s Johaug level! The Swedish duo Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson went out in front during the start of the chase in Ruka, and immediately started to increase the gap to the rest. The Swedes worked together, alternated between going, and made sure with each pole that there was more and more Finnish forest between them and the competitors. – The Swedish cooperation is completely exemplary. There is never more than one meter between the Swedes, said news’s commentator Torgeir Bjørn. Now that the distance was large enough, the duel between Andersson and Karlsson began in earnest. The former had won during Saturday’s 10 kilometres, but had trouble with a vengeful teammate. On the sixth lap, Karlsson pulled away somewhat violently and gained almost a 20-second lead straight away. – God, how she walks! It’s Therese Johaug level at Karlsson now! shouted news’s commentator Jann Post. – “Boom”, then she has 50 metres! Yesterday’s winner was blown off course, added Torgeir Bjørn. Karlsson crossed the finish line in solitary majesty. – It wasn’t a planned move, I just felt energetic. For a long time I had the urge to move, and finally decided to drive, Karlsson tells news. In the group behind were four Norwegian women. Heidi Weng, Anne Kjersti Kalvå, Tiril Udnes Weng, Silje Theodorsen and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg all eyed a possible podium place in a group of ten runners. Sprinter Udnes Weng proved to be the strongest in that group and took third place ahead of Weng. It was Udnes Weng’s first podium in a distance race. – It dawns on me now. It is far beyond my expectations that I will be on the podium here, she says to news. – I am very fond of the Udnes Weng girls, so I wish her that, says Heidi Weng, who was beaten by her teammate. Theodorsen provided three Norwegians in the top five. Kalvå finished eighth, Flugstad Østberg eleventh.
