Sundbys joy crazies Won and kissed the snow – Aftonbladet

Oslo. He had won a lot, but not the World Cup race was greatest for him.

No wonder Martin Johnsrud Sundby was overjoyed when he crossed the finish line as winner in Holmenkollen femmil.

Oslo Son celebrated by bending down and kissing the snow.

Sweden had a heavy day femmil tracks around Oslo. Neither Marcus Hellner, Simon Andersson, Anton Lindblad and Martin Johansson had something to lead to do, which might be expected, but more as badly it went for our pre strongest card.

Long in the forefront

Daniel Rickardsson won in Oslo two years ago, but was now in a messy incident after a few kilometers. In a curve, he collided with another skater and lost nearly two minutes.

– He broke the scabbard under coach Rikard Grip. We have no information on what happened, but according to Griffin, he continues to fight on, we’ll see how long, says Yvette Hermundstad SVT.

Instead of struggling with Martin Johnsrud Sundby of victory went Richardsson a hopeless battle against Estonian Algo Karp, American Scott Patterson and Japanese Keishin Yoshida eight minutes from the lead.

Dyrhaug dried at

at the front marched Sundby once again how a ski races not only can be won, but dominated from start to finish. The Norwegian led a splinter group that stuck after twelve kilometers. He shook off the Maxim Vylegzjanin and Didrik Tønseth after more than three mil. A few kilometers from the finish floored Sundby also Niklas Dyrhaug and stumble away alone toward his first victory in Kollen.

When he crossed the finish line he flexed skis, bent down and kissed the snow.

the win was good for Sundby but bad for the thrill of the World Cup. 31-year-old distance rivals are over 600 points as the runner-up Finn Haagen Krogh did not participate and third place Petter Northug landed far back in the field.
