Just over two months before Falun Championships won Therese Johaug in Davos, her fourth consecutive classic triumph in three weeks.
– After Beitostolen dare I not determine anything. It’s early in the season, and I’ve always gone fast there. But now I’ve won so many in a row that I can say that I have improved. It is especially in dobbelttak with stride and making that I have become stronger. It is from the top down that I take most seconds, said Johaug NTB triumph.
outclassed four times
26-year-old has won everything she have lined up in the classic races. In pure display style.
She won with 24.7 seconds down Bjoergen Beitostølen for three weekends ago. Johaug followed up winning the World Cup start at 10 km classic in Kuusamo weekend after. Distance: 42.2 seconds down to Bjoergen. Johaug continued to beat Bjoergen with 32 seconds on the classic pursuit in Lillehammer.
And yesterday was the distance on the whole 42.5 seconds. Altogether Johaug turned Bjoergen with two minutes and 21.4 seconds at 40 km of classic cross-country.

26-year-old was hailed skis for Davos triumph.
– I’ve gone all classic races on the same pair of years. It is particularly in the light parties that I take seconds.
Now Johaug chock full of confidence.
– It is fun to be at the top, but equally fun that job you have put down gives results when you get the starting number on the chest. It has taken time to develop the power of stride I have now, but now I’ve been able it.
Selected error skiing
National coach Egil Kristiansen said it was a major impact on skis. The notion shared Bjoergen, who lost much time in lighter parties. 34-year-old admitted that she should have chosen a couple with finer structure.
– It was not optimal. I felt like I stood still there. It’s a bit annoying, but still part of the game and the way it is. I lost almost nothing against Therese upward, but it says its that I lost over 20 seconds on the lightweight party in the last two kilometers, said Bjoergen said.
By rounding five kilometers inside the ski stadium was the distance between the two Norwegian girls at 11 seconds in Johaug favor. In the second round she increased by just over half a minute. There is a lot.
Now the question is whether we are experiencing a shift in tron woman skiing. The answer we get in Falun Championships about nine weeks.
