28 February 2023 at 09:06 Tønseth is wrecked despite the podium Didrik Tønseth is wrecked in the 15 kilometer free technique on Wednesday. That even though he came second in Lillehammer, fourth in Davos and sixth in Les Rousses over the distance. – Didrik was in the discussion. This is a distance we have been very good at as a nation and there are many athletes who have done well. We had to make a choice, and then Didrik just fell out, says national team coach Eirik Myhr Nossum after announcing the team. The five Norwegian athletes selected are the following: Hans Christer Holund, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, Simen Hegstad Krüger, Harald Østberg Amundsen and Sjur Røthe. – He (Tønseth) was of course a little disappointed. It is difficult to give the message, because he has results to go. It is the worst message you can give when you scrap obvious medal candidates, says Nossum to news. If it had been up to him (Tønseth) himself, he would have been at the start of course. But he has been a very good man in the build-up here, so all credit to him, says Nossum. Sjur Røthe feels for her roommate who was wrecked. – It’s always difficult in situations like that, but he’s the best roommate I could have right now. He backs me in everything and you don’t have to get nervous before competitions, because we have a fairly relaxed and good atmosphere, says Røthe to news. Hans Christer Holund is the reigning world champion over the distance and has a free pass. – The legs will do the talking tomorrow. There is no doubt that we have a Norwegian team that is historically strong at the distance, says Holund to news. The men’s 15 kilometers runs on Wednesday 12.30 on NRK1. The women go 10 kilometer free technique on Tuesday 12.30 on the same channel.
