– It’s not that easy, but I have to work on it, says an honest Margrethe Bergane to news. The fearless recruit runner is one of the biggest talents in Norwegian cross-country skiing and has shaken the world elite on several occasions, but the 22-year-old is criticized for the tactical choices she makes in competitions. UREDD: Margrethe Bergane has put the world elite to the test on several occasions, but the experts saw question marks at her tactical choice.

Since the breakthrough season last season, the Konnerud runner’s tactical choices have been questioned on several occasions. Among other things during the following races: The season opener in Ruka – 20 kilometer joint start Tour de Ski: Val di Fiemme – 15 kilometer joint start – Wastes energy The last judgment the experts draw took place in the 20 kilometer classic joint start on Saturday in Oberhof. There she was active along the way and got a gap halfway down to the competitors up the toughest uphill of the course, Birxsteig. On the next round he was still almost last in the group. – How did she manage to end up there? She is wasting energy, said news expert Fredrik Aukland about Bergane during the joint start on Saturday. Bergane even ended up in 18th place in the race on Saturday. – She is fearless, aggressive and goes on. She is aware of her strength, that it must be done on the ground. She’s trying, and I think that’s really tough. At the same time – she has great powers – and they could be disposed of in a different way at times, Maiken Caspersen asked Falla in Viaplay’s studio. Then TV 2’s cross-country expert Petter Skinstad told X: – How many joint starts will Bergane have to destroy for herself before someone in the coaching staff takes a proper lap with her and makes a race plan? The capacity is good enough to fight at the very top, so this is just painful to watch, he wrote. In front of news, he elaborates: TV 2 EXPERT: Petter Skinstad. Photo: Geir Olsen / NTB – We have a great talent who in ski race after ski race wastes her energy and ends up further down the list than she needs to do. I hope someone takes responsibility for guiding her on the way to becoming an even better skier, says Skinstad. – She has a lot to go on purely tactically, especially the disposition of races. She wants a lot and especially in the parts where she is the best, namely the uphill part, says news’s cross-country expert Fredrik Aukland. The main character acknowledges that she “could be better in the tactical choices”, and it is clear that she gets good help from the national team management in the quest to make the right tactical and technical decisions. – I think that I can get better tactically, but that it wasn’t so hopeless either, because we became a smaller group after I picked up the pace, the 22-year-old explains to news about the tactical arrangements on Saturday. She continues: – Then I feel that I make it easier for myself than if I am a larger field. So maybe I went on a bit too much, but it’s not hopeless. Praises offensive attitude: – She is a bright spot. At the same time, she is praised for the offensive attitude she displays. – It is difficult to criticize a young, up-and-coming runner for the will to fight she shows. I would rather highlight her as one of the bright spots in the season and think she has a lot to offer in the future, says news expert Fredrik Aukland. Last season, the Polish cross-country icon Justyna Kowalczyk paid tribute to the Konnerud girl when she shook the world elite in Holmenkollen, and Aukland thinks Bergane “is a runner who should be praised for what she has done this year”. – I think that with a national team that I hardly see starting in the World Cup, and which has been far below the performances I saw last season and expect, then it is wrong to arrest recruit runners who have actually delivered results. – Ladies for the future Bergane has eleven top 20 positions this season and was number 15 overall in the Tour de Ski. – She is a lady for the future. So she certainly has things to work on. She is very aware of that. Both with regard to downhills and with regard to tactical dispositions, says women’s national team coach Sjur Ole Svarstad to news. – On Sunday, I think she ran a very well-disposed race and went three even laps. I think it is important for Margrethe’s self-confidence that I brag on days like today, when she actually gets it done, Svarstad told news after the relay. There, Bergane had a solid third stage and kept the same pace as Sweden’s Ebba Andersson in the lead, and the Norwegian talent ensured that Norway advanced from sixth to fifth place. – What is she capable of if she gets the technical and tactical things right, Skinstad? – Then she is capable of fighting for podium places in the World Cup. If she can go cheap and smart and use her strength at the right time, there is no doubt that she can get high, high on the results lists, says Skinstad.
