IN 3 miles to history. Three individual distances, three golds in the WC. Cross-country skiing has never seen a more dominant racer than Therese Johaug. And it has never received more praise.
When Therese won everything except the relay in Seefeld two years ago, she got straight out of jail after an 18-month ban. The punishment was the backdrop to all the international reactions about how superior he was. Therese was very suspicious on German television:
– She is way ahead of the rest, and there is this prehistory. It’s strangeSchlickenrieder told ARD after Johaug easily won the same distance in WC 2019.
So this silly talk has stopped. Even Schlickenrieder, who in the environment is known as a loose cannon on deck, apologized for his scandalous work. In then in foreign commentators have recognized what actually happened at the Livigno pharmacy. Which turned Johaug’s brilliant ski career into such unnecessary despair.
Now the lip balm there is just history.
FOR Today in the middle of Therese’s show, Swedish Television (SVT) explained to its viewers what had really happened to skier Therese Johaug. And why the Swedes should only applaud for his fantastic achievements.
To finally allow Therese to thank everyone who helped her become better than ever at skiing:
– I feel a little shaken nowTherese said afterward.
She was not alone in that.
A national collapse
I TARGET Silver winner Heidi Weng also started crying. Because Therese won, and because she herself managed to run from the Swedes to the hill inside the stadium.
It was great considering how tough Heidi has been since she had an anxious virus bombing trip to Canada and a World Cup that never happened almost a year ago.
Afterwards, he has battled illness and bad thoughts until he finally moved up to the relay stage the other day. With the money secured, he did not understand anything. He just thought he was lucky on the turn before he made up his mind. There he passed Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson.
– Du var yo greatsaid the NRK reporter in admiration for the way Weng took the Swedes into a tough interior.
– It must be the first timeHeidi replied, still unsure of herself. Then he cried so much with joy again that no one could help but feel moved by the most honest and wonderful girl in skiing.
Passed Northug on the chaos race
FOR right after one of the toughest shows in ski history, it’s time to be completely honest. The world has not seen a better cross-country skier in sporting terms. Yes, Marit Bjørgen has won the most and is therefore the best. But he was never as fast as his girlfriend of eight years.
The two seasoned SVT commenters got it. Throughout this championship, the duo Jacob Hård and Anders Blomquist have conveyed Therese’s dominance in a sober and knowledgeable manner. Now the time had come to deal with what was left of the envy and skepticism of his own viewers.
ANCHOR TV Hard has done it before:
– Where does this hatred of Norway come from?he asked five years ago when emotions spiked in Sweden after the Johaug reveal and the debate over Norwegian asthma medications.
At the time, Jacob Hård was brave and stood out amid the commotion as the guarantor of a pure Norwegian sport. This was followed by study partner Anders Blomquist.
For such a professionally skilled pair of commentators, the violent television footage of Johaug’s total dominance could not go uncommented. In the revealing sunlight on the beautiful Oberstdorf, they both felt they had to put an end to this pointless discussion for good.
These television images showed Therese Johaug as magnificent as the world of skiing had never seen her:
- After down in miles took Teresa with one minute about a pair of fantastically hot Swedish girls who really thought they would beat the Norwegian veteran this winter …
Then the SVT commentators started the story of why Therese Johaug has gotten so great.
IS adventurous force has nothing to do with asthma meds or lip balm:
– Everything has been fully illuminated in Norway and internationally.they explained, pointing to the crucial difference between deliberate doping and unconscious violations of doping rules.
Live, as Johaug increased the lead at Burgstall, Swedish viewers received a lengthy explanation in court.
And then the SVT commentators came to the case.
This stops the heat
FOR Then former Vasaloppet winner Anders Blomquist explained what separated Therese Johaug from all the great skiers on the backfield.
How heart and lung capacity is just a start on Johaug’s long journey to becoming the world’s greatest skier. That this development also for her more and became a question of labor economy; that is, how all oxygen is best managed through efficient movements along the way.
Karlsson cried in pain after the fall.
OF THE MEN She spoke, the screeching of Therese’s breath could be heard on the climb to the Burgstall. How he forced the air to run through the forest. More and more away from others.
– What really stands out is the ability to push the body for so long without stiffening.Blomquist said, and drew the line towards legendary skiing as Johan Olsson’s solo race for World Cup gold in the 2013 Val di Fiemme 5 miles.
He then went on to explain why older skiers tend to be harder to push over time. How that quality also requires training and experience.
– You should enter a BMI limit
ALT was meant to be a credible explanation for why what seems so inhumanly fast when Johaug goes skiing is humanly possible in an honest way. But it was also a comfort to the younger girls who disappeared behind.
This time, none of them made it past third place. The also experienced Heidi Weng had trained the qualities that kept the young ski measurer from the Swedes at bay.
Yes in winter or two may have changed.
So Therese Johaug may be far from the ski slope.
Withdraw the scandalous plot against Johaug
THE Therefore, probably the honest and solid skiers of the SVT study thought it was time to give Therese the tribute she deserves.
That no one has ever won so superiorly on the track before.
And in the way that makes cross-country sport the best it can be even without the best.
FOOTNOTE: Top also raced for Anne Kjersti Kalvå and Tiril Udnes Weng, who in a controlled manner entered astonishingly strong positions at number six and seven. This was a great World Cup for the entire Norwegian women’s team, and a good entry into the debate that German Schlieckenrieder herself is trying to start about Johaug in this championship. The German will introduce a BMI limit in cross-country skiing to stop light runners. There are many reasons to discuss the health challenges of sport, but improvement does not occur by disqualifying different body types. Considering how different the physical requirements of individual runs and trails are, this is a reckless proposition.

Swedish self-criticism: Where does this hatred of Norway come from?
