There is still no duel between Bjoergen and year sovereign skier Therese Johaug under NM Part 2 Beitostølen this weekend.
Bjorgen has got a muscular strain injury in the hip region and must be over.
– Marit was out on a bit long jog five days ago. Afterwards she felt that she had a little pain in the hip region and some more pain the next day. We interpret it as a normal strain injury in transition to unfamiliar ground, said national team doctor Fredrik S. Bendiksen.
Can be back in a week
Bjoergen been two skirenn in comeback after birth 2.juledag. She went her own race, Marit Bjoergen ski race in his home town and show the sprint Kulås Sprint just before Easter where she got spanked by year’s best sprinter, Maiken Caspersen Falla.
This weekend should 35-year-old test form in distance races against the country and the world’s best skijenter under NM Part 2 in Beitostolen.
Now she must stay home with damage. Teams Doctor Fredrik S. Bendiksen think she may have been a bit too eager to act Inga.
– Marit really wanted to go NM and was eager to prepare as well as possible to it. It may be that she has gone a bit too fast, says Bendiksen.

The damage should not be more severe than that Bjoergen could be back in training about one to two weeks.
– Usually we get good response within one to two weeks. I reckon that we have good control of this relatively fast, but not fast enough to three mil skiing on Saturday. It comes far more important things later in the year.
– The main thing is to get Marit in good condition to withstand a lot of training leading up to next season, says Bendiksen, who explains that it was not appropriate to just walk five kilometer on Friday.
– When we first said we should slow it down and run with option exercise as were NM-participation excluded.
Bjoergen coming to have daily contact with national team doctor and physiotherapist at home in Oslo, and will not participate in the national collection at Storefjell, which is currently underway.
– the main thing now is that Marit is ready for the next ski season, although it is a pity that she now can not go NM part 2, says national coach Egil Kristiansen.
– she certainly has enough to take care of
her teammates Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen is not very surprised by the news.
– There are certainly enough to take care of there in the yard. She hath no rush, it’s going skiing competition next year, says Uhrenholdt Jacobsen is the collection at Storefjell before the championship starts on Thursday.
