FALUN (AP) While Charlotte Kalla (27) fielded its own meteorologist and two pairs of skis to start, so was the Norwegian girls checkmate when it began to snow .
Charlotte Kallas lubricates chose skiing just minutes before the 27 year old went out with start number 49 – the clock 13.55.30. Marit Bjoergen had with him only one pair to start when she went out eight minutes later.
It ended with gold Kalla on Tuesday’s 10-kilometer. And Norwegian fiasco. All the Norwegian fell outside the top 20 – history third weakest result on the women’s side
– We took the decision so late we could. If we were to change or if we were to rely on what has gone best. We made no changes, but focused on what we worked all day, says the Swedish smear chief Urban Nilsson VG.
The Swedes had full control of Tuesday’s snowing in Falun and they knew it was going to be wet.
– We knew. We have a meteorologist in place, and he says that “in five minutes it starts to snow,” and then it starts to snow. There is a huge advantage for us, says Nilsson.
– Was sunny and dry weather
On VG questions about the Norwegian butter holders were surprised when it started snow, responding smear Knut Nystad this:
– No, we have followed the weather reports we. We must unfortunately only test whether it snows or not. We just need to start testing ski in the morning. When it was sunny and dry weather. So we must take a decision at a time.
The Norwegian smear boss standing straight back, when he answers questions from reporters, leaning over the fence in the press zone. While it is still descends wet snow from the sky in Falun, he is completely clear on one thing:
Norwegian lubrication team takes responsibility for the boom.
– Swedes are extremely skilled . They beat us in waxing and out of the track. They had amazing skiing and flew through the stadium today, he said.
Would not gamble
Nystad mean it was time to make changes on the skis to Heidi Weng (start number 61), Therese Johaug (start number 63) or Marit Bjoergen (start number 65) – not even when they saw how Ragnhild Haga (start number 55) and Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen (start number 43) struggled with poor glide.
– It will be difficult to replace, what would you switched to? When it had only been gambling. We try to avoid gambling, says Nystad VG.
– When you saw how Jacobsen and Haga had it, so perhaps it would be better to gamble?
– We did not answer it until after one and one half mile and then it’s too late. Unfortunately. I wish that your logic had worked.
Heidi Weng felt, finally in this championship, the body worked very well. Just to see that the equipment failed.
– Father, I had to work as a madman down, says Weng VG.
– As I sat down, I thought: Have I paste the skis?
Therese Johaug “ almost had to chuckle it off “. She felt with their own oilers, but the verdict was clear:
– They did their best today, but it was not good enough. The snow made skis packed, says Johaug.
At the press conference after gulløpet told Charlotte Kalla how the Swedish team reached the right skis:
– We use as always to test skis together. Then Mats (Eklund, Kallas ski waxer) had lost very many couples, there were only two couples when I got to start, said Kalla, adding:
– We had decided Center for skiing, but he said: It may come snow, and then it can be that I protrude and tests fairly close at the start. I drove the couple that we had decided before the start.

The skis Kalla went on she tested one hour and fifteen minutes before the start. The snow began to descend about when the first runner went out, around the clock 13:30.
– Do you think it was gold because you had one previous start number than the Norwegian?
– It is hard to say. Astrid started before me. But most (Norwegian) started after me. It is difficult to speculate.
The Swedish coach Matias Persson as Norway fail altogether with poor skiing.
– Even a great nation like Norway, which has the largest truck and most people in the lubricating bus, they can also make mistakes. We are only human, says Persson.
