1 March 2024 at 16:12 The ski sole cracked in a dramatic Swedish accident: – Never seen before was Sweden’s first team superior in the women’s team sprint in Lahti. The two Norwegian teams entered in 4th and 5th place. But there was still Swedish drama during the relay. The sole of Maja Dahlqvist’s ski on the Swedish second team cracked during the team sprint in Lahti. Within a second, the race was over for the Swedish second team. It was double Swedish in the team sprint in Lahti when the drama reached its climax in the Finnish city. – No and no, exclaimed news’s commentator Joachim Ose as two women went down on Swedish Linn Svahn’s back. It was Swedish Dahlqvvist who on his first leg of the team sprint went down before the so-called Lahti turn. And the result was devastating for the Swedes. – The sole has simply detached from the ski. I’ve never seen that before, exclaimed news’s expert Fredrik Aukland and continued. – The race is ruined. Poor Maja Dahlqvist. Behind, the two Norwegian teams managed to avoid accidents. But at the same time Linn Svahn moved away from the lead and disappeared from the rest of the field. But for Sweden’s Dahlqvist, who struggled through the rest of the stage with a cracked ski sole, the seconds ticked by. When she switched with teammate Frida Karlsson, the Swedish second team was 38 seconds behind. After the relay, Dahlqvist explained that she did not understand what happened. – There was a cross stop. It felt like the skin just disappeared from under me. So I “faceplanted” and the skis broke in the middle, says Dahlqvist to news. She tells how she had to get through the course on one leg for the rest of the stage. – The air went out there a little, says Dahlqvist. The baton was of course broken. – I thought this would be funny, says Karlsson to news about the situation where she saw her team-mate hacking her way towards the stadium with a broken ski. But the drama was not over for other teams in this team sprint either. And this time it concerned the Norwegian first team. On the last exchange there was a mess in the exchange between Lotta Udnes Weng and Kristine Stavås Skistad. The former had to return to carry out the exchange with Skistad in the exchange field. – I thought ugly words that are not suitable for Norwegian national broadcasting. I was afraid of being beaten, says Udnes Weng to news. – I thought it was typical for us to be a bit grumpy, says Stavås Skistad. She pointed out that she was not strong enough to get a podium place in the final sprint. – Had this not happened, it would probably have been 2nd place, says Skistad.
