– I’m excited about how the Swedes set up his team. What we fear is what Johan Olsson can do on a classical stage. If he gets a half minutes, and runs all away on the little Mördarbacken, then it is done, says Petter Northug NRK.
The Swede surprised the world elite in today’s 15 km freestyle Falun Championships when he went to the top. It gets Norwegians to tremble before relay.
– Now there are many who are afraid of Johan Olsson. I reckon that he slipped on classical stage, and when should one up the hill four times. Is there anyone who can kill someone up there so it is Johan Olsson, adding Northug to.
Kamp about the Norwegian sites
Probably will Didrik Tønseth Niklas Dyrhaug go the first two stages for Norway in the relay, while Petter Northug shall terminate on the last leg. As Martin Johnsrud Sundby has been ill, there is uncertainty about who should go the third stage.
Coach Trond Nystad will not reveal too much yet, but admits that Anders Gløersen have strengthened their chances with today’s bronze medal. But Finn Haagen Krogh participates in the game.
– Today we have seen that he is a very accomplished skier of 15 kilometers “skate.” About his form is good, and he has the physical and tactical capabilities, is Anders good way, says Nystad.
– Find also delivered good races here, and two good races in Ostersund (right before the World Cup) . Then he also won team sprint is so clearly he also good way, continues the coach.
– What Martin Johnsrud Sundby. Is he still relevant for third leg?
– Yes. We must take a session where he can test the mold. So we need to talk with the others who have gone fast here.
– Hoping for an opening
Petter Northug is also positive to have Gløersen third stage.
– It’s impressive what he does today. He won in Davos, he won NM. Anders has perhaps been the most stable 15 km runner we had at the start of the day.
But Anders Gløersen even taking nothing for granted.
– We’ll see. I hope it can be an opening there, he says to NRK.
