– We don’t want this kind of behavior – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

– This is the kind of behavior we don’t want, Jann Post almost shouted when the TV images showed that Ibrahim Buras pushed Vebjørn Hovdejord in the middle of the NM race. The push led to Merih Solomon hitting a tree and Mathias Flak going to the ground. – Here the jury must go through the footage, Post continued. – There seemed to be real disagreement in this field, he concluded. Post was supported by expert commentator Sindre Buraas. – We should not have such pushes with straight arms in a field. news receives confirmation from Flak that it has submitted a protest to the jury. Cross-country runner beats track and field athletes Ahead of Sunday’s National Championships, track and field athletes Senay Fissehatsion and Jacob Boutera were designated as favourites. They had competition from, among others, the cross-country skiers Harald Østberg Amundsen and Didrik Tønseth, but Boutera was clear about how it would feel to be beaten by someone who usually competes with skis on his feet: – I must say that it is a bit embarrassing. Not to disparage them, but after all we are runners and they are skiers, he told news. Boutera still had to endure being followed by Tønseth all the way. Together with the aforementioned Fissehatsion, Buras – i.e. he who pushed a competitor earlier in the race, and Even Brøndbo Dahl, he formed the tight group. Fissehatsion sprinted to gold, Brøndbo Dahl captured the silver and Tønseth ended up in bronze. Both Boutera and Buras had to drop out before the whole thing was decided, and they thus had to see themselves beaten by a cross-country runner. Østgård gold after thriller finish: – Cold calculation On the women’s side, Ingeborg Østgård brought in Hanne Mjøen Maridal a couple of turns before the finish line and secured the gold with a long sprint. By then, the latter had led the eight-kilometre race for a long time, but it did not quite last. – What a timing! What a race she set up for, Jann Post commented on Østgård’s finish. – Cold calculation, added expert commentator Sindre Buraas. Maria Wågan captured the bronze. The gold winner did not dare to believe in gold until she had passed Mjøen Maridal just before the finish: – That’s when I believed in it, she said smiling to news after the finish. – It feels very good, she continued.
