19 November 2023 at 12:34 Øyre Slind secures victory after thriller Astrid Øyre Slind completed in the dress rehearsal for the World Cup in Ruka. Crushed the cross-country elite in the 10 kilometer freestyle. – I actually think it was heavier today than yesterday, but fortunately there were more people who felt the same. Then it held just right, says Astrid Øyre Slind to news after the finish line. The goal was to beat everyone. Something the three-mile bronze winner during the WC in Planica did last year when she outclassed everyone in the 10 kilometer freestyle. Heidi Weng, who secured victory in the 10 kilometer classic on Saturday, was unsure before the start and thought there could be many ups and downs. – Today I don’t know, Weng constantly told news before the start. With a later starting number than both Øyre Slind and Claudel, she was 4.9 seconds behind the former at the opening point. And it was precisely this trio that the freestyle race was supposed to be about. Only Claudel managed to close in on Øyre Slind in the lead, while Weng continued to struggle. At the finish line, the French girl was seven tenths behind the Team Aker Dæhlie runner. – It was very tight. It was very good to hear the speaker count down and see that it was a bit far left for Claudel, says Øyre Slind. Weng moved into third place.
