– Today was fun again. I was very frustrated yesterday. Both on myself and someone else, says Golberg to news. On Friday, he sometimes showed very good pace in the sprint course, but in the final he fell and finished in fourth place. The Norwegian then believed that the Italian Simone Moccellini should have been dished out. And the frustration was not over any time soon. His own mobile phone experienced that later in the day. WIN: Pål Golberg increased his lead in the World Cup with a super race at Beitostølen. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB – I managed to be so angry yesterday that I destroyed my mobile phone. When you are almost 33 years old and still react that way, it should sink in that it is not possible to continue like this. It went away after that, says Golberg. – Did you break it? – At least it doesn’t work. It’s not something I’m proud of. I was very frustrated yesterday, so I’m glad I was able to channel it into something positive, he says. See the fall from the sprint final here: Had to send the roommate on a shopping trip Golberg himself calls it “a bottom”. – I was very frustrated for quite a long time. Then it got dark for me when I came on my own. I will not divulge more details than that, he says. He has already secured a new mobile phone, with good help. – I’m leaving for Switzerland on Monday, so I had to send my roommate to Eplehuset yesterday. Thank you very much, he says in the direction of his roommate. Won the interval start for the first time in nine years – He stands here with the yellow jersey, but is annoyed that he didn’t win yesterday. It shows a bit of the mentality. He is in terrific shape, and currently the world’s best male skier, says news’s cross-country expert Fredrik Aukland. – He is normally a sane man, so I was a little surprised by that story, says Aukland. Golberg has been in great form this season and on Saturday he went for his second World Cup victory of the season, and the ninth of his career so far. With that, he also increased his lead in the World Cup, where he now has over 300 points down on the nearest challengers. The 32-year-old started as the first of the favorites in Saturday’s race and set the standard. Especially in the last five kilometers he went well and went into a clear lead. – He has never been better as a cross-country runner, said news’s cross-country expert Torgeir Bjørn. – It’s a monster finish by Pål Golberg, Bjørn followed up. It was also a victory for Golberg, which is his first victory at the start of the interval since winning the 15 kilometer classic in Lillehammer on 7 December 2013. – I hope it’s the basic level, but we’ll see. We are missing Johannes (Høsflot Klæbo) and a Finn (Iivo Niskanen), so the top level may need to be even better. But what I show from day to day, I am at least very happy that I get to do, says Golberg. Several tried to challenge him, but Golberg stayed away from everyone. Didrik Tønseth came second, just like his partner Anne Kjersti Kalvå in the women’s race. Andrew Musgrave was third.
