The experts disagreed on who should wear the favorite stamp before the start of the relay. Nevertheless, it was clear that Sweden carried the stamp for most people – with Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson at the forefront. But as the cliché says: “A relay is a relay”. For Ingvild Flugstad Østberg delivered a monster third leg, pulling away from Frida Karlsson and contributing strongly to Norway taking a somewhat surprising gold in the relay. – What Ingvild is doing is absolutely disgusting, exclaimed news expert Therese Johaug. – A small shock victory here in the WC, says news commentator Jann Post. Anne Kjersti Kalvå got a dream starting point on the anchor stage and delivered. Norway thus takes the WC gold on a day the Swedish favorites failed. It was not just Karlsson who had trouble, Ebba Andersson fell and broke her pole on her second stage. – Boiling into me Just before Kalvå scored, Norway’s national team coach Stig Rune Kveen was in tears. Kveen looked shaky and could barely hold on to the phone while he watched the race.: – It’s rough, I don’t have much more to say, he said. There were big contrasts from earlier in the race. Then the coach was cursed. During the first stage, Emma Ribom and Tirli Udnes Weng could be seen on several occasions going on each other’s skis – for which the latter received a warning. – I can feel it boiling inside me when I see it, he said to news. Weng confirmed the incident afterwards – Yes, she did. But I did too. We were close to each other. We could probably keep some distance between the two of us. There is probably a Swedish boss who is standing there and cooking because of me, she says to news. The first sign of the dark relay to Sweden was to come soon after – on the second stage. Perhaps the Swedes’ strongest card, Ebba Andersson, ruled the field and was in the lead for large parts of the stage. But just before the change, Andersson fell and broke the pole. – The nightmare continues for Sweden in the relay, exclaimed Jann Post. This meant that Astrid Øyre Slind could alternate with Finland and Germany in the lead, with Sweden just over six seconds behind. Østerberg praised Østerberg was praised for his stage during and after the race. – We haven’t seen her fitter in four years than we have here. Goes straight from Frida Karlsson, said news expert Jann Post about Ingvild Flugstad Østberg. – Ingvild looks completely raw. Dream starting point for us and I think AK has the speed to drive from Maja at the end. So if she gets time to get into the race a bit first, it’s absolutely perfect. Østberg was 14.9 seconds ahead of Sweden and Maja Dahlqvist. Germany was closest by 6.2 seconds when Kålvå went out on the last stage. The Norwegian anchorwoman took advantage of the dream starting point and increased the lead. She was finally able to walk in solitary majesty across the finish line and Norway could cheer for gold.
