– Says they give a chance to a little clown from Grenland with somewhat loose shoulders in Finland, Gunnulfsen told NRK while reading the retreat on related pages.
There it was confirmed today in a press release that the winner of this weekend’s 15 kilometers is ready for the opening of the World Cup.
– I really have no words, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I feel like I deserved it. It was out of place, because we know that the road to Ruka is heavy for those of us outside the national team, it is almost impossible. He had never thought about it, the 27-year-old continued.
On Saturday he referred Johannes Høsflot Klæbo to second place with 27 seconds. Another seven seconds behind he finished off Sunday’s winner Hans Christer Holund.
Before long, sprinters Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, Håvard Solås Taugbøl, Pål Golberg and Erik Valnes were ready. The same happened with the off-roaders Hans Christer Holund, Simen Hegstad Krüger, Emil Iversen and Sjur Røthe.
Last place for Ruka on the men’s side went to Sindre Bjørnestad Skar. Of the elite riders, Didrik Tønseth, among others, did not get a place in the team.
– All scholars agree
Despite the final message arriving on Monday, the main character himself was aware that what he delivered in Beitostølen was good enough for the World Cup.
– Traditionally Norwegians are quite good at skiing, so when you win in Beitostølen, where the best Norwegians participate, you probably tend to hold up quite well in Ruka as well. All scholars agree that it can be a good ski race and a good application, but I have to act tomorrow too, Gunnulfsen said after Saturday’s race.
After the race, NRK expert Torgeir Bjørn was ready too: he said “yes” when asked if the 27-year-old should have the chance.
The races at Ruka start next Friday with sprints, before the distance races on Saturday and Sunday.
