Skar was very disappointed in the sprint at Beitostølen and already retired in the prologue. – It was nothing good, no. It was very disappointing. I don’t know why it will be like that, says Skar to news. GETTING HOT IN RUSSIA: Sindre Bjørnestad Skar. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB Ahead of the sprint, the ubiquitous TV star Dmitrij Gubernijev has been anything but impressed by recent statements from the Norwegian sprint profile. You can watch the quarter-finals and the rest of the knockout rounds on NRK1 and news TV. – I don’t know who he is. The Russian is known as an intriguer and has been involved in several scandals in his home country. He is best known as a commentator for biathlon and cross-country skiing. Recently, Gubernijev stated that the Norwegians did not care that the Russians were banned. Sindre Bjørnestad Skar responded by calling him “an idiot” in Nettavisen. And then the circus began. – I don’t know who he is, but he knows who I am. Therefore, we can conclude that I am a world star who is well known in Norway. They make many cases about me for TV and the newspapers. I can’t help but be happy that someone is following my career, says Gubernijev sourly to Sport24. – Did you know that you have become headline food in the Russian online newspapers in the last week? – I have seen that some messages have come in on social media from some Russians, so I have realized that something has been said, Skar told news on Friday. – I’ve seen him standing with Putin Skar has for a number of years been one of Norway’s best sprinters and a regular fixture on the national team. The boy from Bærum has two wins and a total of ten podium places in the World Cup, most recently from Lahti in February last winter. – I don’t know him, but he obviously knows me well since he insults me with great self-confidence. I just smile back. Let him hear my commentary at night in a Russian language he does not understand and enjoy it, Guberniyev continues. news tells Skar about Gubernijev’s statements and asks if he knows who the Russian is. – Yes, I’ve seen him standing with Putin then, so that’s about the only thing I associate him with. The Russian made headlines when he led Vladimir Putin’s eight-year commemoration of the annexation of the Ukrainian Krym peninsula shortly after the Olympics. That caused the Norwegian biathlon community to turn their backs on him. And it is not only Norwegians who have a strained relationship with the opinionated commentator. Russia’s skiing president, Jelena Välbe, refuses to comment on matters surrounding Guberniyev. The former Olympic hero Anfisa Reztsova agrees with Skar that he is “an idiot”. Eight Norwegians advanced to the quarter-finals during the sprint prologue at Beitostølen. Pål Golberg was the best Norwegian in 6th place. No less than four Norwegians in Sivert Wiig, Sindre Bjørnestad Skar, Pål Trøen Aune and Matz William Jenssen came out in the prologue.
