Weng fights after trouble – gives Johog a fight – NRK Sport – Sports News, Results, Broadcast Schedule

Weng, 29, finished second in Sunday’s Classic 10km at the Norwegian Cup in Natrudstyle, beating world number one cross – country skier Therese Johog (32).

– I don’t understand if this is going well. I don’t understand what I made before the end result was fully clear, at least, Weng told NRK.

Dan had already spent a little scream of joy, and it went very well:

Weng was the fastest in the first half after 700 meters. From there, Johog maintained the top speed, with a winning margin of 25.3 seconds. Helen Marie Fossom was third, 39.9 seconds behind.

– In Ruka she had completely changed her mind and is doing a race here that gives hope for the best performances of winter, says NRK expert commentator Torgir J വെrgen Weng.

Had to take leave

Today’s result is a rise after a difficult period for Heidi Weng.

Weng said at the national cross-country opening in Beethoven that he was concerned about the Corona pandemic and admitted he was worried about overseas travel.

They still have a place in the World Cup opening in Ruka, Finland. But they backed down after a weak sprint introduction last Friday.

– I think it’s a little in my head right now, she told NRK after the race.

– National team doctor Einstein Anderson said in a press release the next morning that Heidi Weng was not happy to go skiing now.

Initially, she did not have to start with Natrodstyle, but she did

– I had to take a week off. I have been training well since Tuesday and then I thought I should take this as training because it is better to start than to go alone on a skycompen. When you go cross-country skiing you get a little more gira. I’m very careful, I think we can do better here. I think it’s funny, I mean, Weng smiles.

Norway does not pose

Norway has decided not to field teams for the World Cup in Davos and Dresden over the next two weekends, and has indicated that this will not be relevant for field teams on the Tour de Ski. So, Weng doesn’t have to decide if she wants to go there.

At the same time, new stories are constantly coming in from the cross-country family about the consequences of corona.

On Friday, former top runner Maria Storm told Naxstad NRK how she is coping with the aftermath of the Kovid-19 impact. Russia’s Sergei Ustyugov says on Instagram that he is not recovering from a corona infection at a rally in the Italian Val Cenales in the second half of October.
