– I don’t quite understand the Austrians – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

22 January 2023 at 14:10 Norwegian failure in the team sprint: – Don’t know what happened Håvard Solås Taugbøl and Sindre Bjørnestad Skar both fell during an exchange and had no chance of a top position in the team sprint in Italian Livigno on Sunday. The Norwegian team had no chance when they both fell on the third exchange. Taugbøl had led Norway to the top before he suddenly fell to the ground just before the changeover. Skar also fell in the sequence, and the Norwegian team did not complete the exchange until long after the other teams had left. – I looked behind me for a couple of seconds before I thought Håvard was going to give me the pat, and then I never got any pat. Suddenly I saw that he was lying there, and then suddenly I was lying there, and then I don’t know what happened, says Skar to TV 3 after the race. The duo, who played for Norway’s 2nd team, did not manage to collect it and finished last in number 15. France won ahead of Italy and Switzerland. Skar confirms that he broke the staff. – Yes, and then I land on my tailbone, and immediately I felt “oh my god, this hurt”. And then the adrenaline kicks in, and then you forget about it, but I now feel that my tailbone really hurts. It might seem a little silly to get hurt when you fall when you’re standing still, but it was hard. Thus it was a pitch-dark Norwegian day in Livigno. – I thought it was that day. We probably just have to forget about it as soon as possible. Something could happen, says the national team’s sprint coach Arild Monsen to TV 3. Norway’s 1st team of Erik Valnes and Even Northug failed and did not qualify for the final. Northug said afterwards that he did not feel at his best. He lost a lot to the field in qualifying and the duo finished in 16th place, which was just not enough for a final place. This weekend, Taugbøl competed in his first World Cup competitions since he suffered a mild thigh injury at Beitostølen before Christmas. – I have no idea what happened. I felt like I came in and had Sindre right in front of me, and suddenly I’m lying there hitting a bucket, says Taugbøl to TV 3. (NTB/news)
