Val di Fiemme. Therese Johaug doing their best climbing ever and I’ll be damned, sure she goes like a real man.
She does it in a tour where we have seen more of her real self than before.
But she beats four Swedish men skiers say more about their performance than if the super-Therese.
The scenes that unfolded in the target area was somewhat absurd. Therese Johaug walked around with the big Norwegian flag she got hold of just before the finish line when she suddenly took a big jump in front of the photographers.
At the request she made it a couple more times.
Just like that.
Once the bones should have been dumb acid leapt Therese Johaug about like a Duracell bunny with oxygen tube on the back. I want to believe that it was very sheer joy, but I’m worried that there was actually gunpowder left in those little legs.

Therese Johaug wins Tour de Ski is no surprise. She was the big favorite and she knows that no one takes her to the ground.
But it has been challenging. Great ingvild flugstad østberg, who had wobbly quadriceps and glassy eyes long after the finish, has put pressure on Therese Johaug.
The black dress
And Therese Johaug wavered. Outside the podium in Toblach and without real momentum in the mass start yesterday came the tanks.
When I met her Saturday night at the Norwegian team’s hotel appeared none of it internal wars that took place in the well-trained body. Therese Johaug stood in black dress and told about the award as Sportswoman but when the TV lights go out so she went to the bottom with himself. She spoke with damtränaren Egil Christensen, with his brother and with his psychologist.
It took effect. To start came a determined 27-year-old who was surfing out on flat terrain in the valley and put up an extra gear to the slopes uphill Alpe Cermis.
ingvild flugstad østberg did not have his day and received early release from the Therese Johaug as “tried to go back for a while, but I thought that I could go faster”. READ ALSO Be faster – than any Swedish Men
Light in the body
Therese Johaug climbed the hill and her time in goal meant that she was faster than 18 of the men. Four of them were Swedes.
It is impressive and barrier-breaking.
Already last year was her time better than six of the men’s skiing time. Submission on Sunday may have played a role, it was looser and a light body do not dig into the snow in the same way and it is faster.
Then it so that Therese Johaugs body is created to ski and run in reverse. She weighs around 46 kg, which is very little compared with, for example, 83 kg Northug. Last fall, she was nine minutes faster than Petter Northug in jog Fonna Opp. In the same race got Calle Halfvarsson defeated by Norwegian.
Running is one thing, skiing another. In the steep parties going most riders fairly similar. But there are also areas where it is possible to feed in slightly different speed and it is primarily about the hurricane maintain an even speed.
Did what they could
Therese Johaug always looks to go fast. Her electric mixer frequency is high, might not always effective on the flat portions but up.
That she did yesterday was incredible.
The Swedish gentlemen?
They did what they could. We’re talking here about the talents and riders who do not have a great experience from the World Cup.
We had no great expectations, and their time will come.
Unless otherwise learns analysis of the times boost them.
Because no guy likes well to get beat by a girl ….
