Now we have the answer as to whether the Norwegian boys can challenge Bolshunov. Will it be as strong as before in the season? Can Erik Valnes challenge Klæbo in the sprint? Is there anyone who can challenge Therese over the longest distances? Can junior Helene Fossesholm surprise us with a 10km medal. free? Will there be gold for Sweden or Norway in the women’s relay?
