When you miss rough and becomes number two – then you worlds best Jansrud – Dagbladet.no

Kjetil Jansrud (29) did not win the fourth speed race in a row. But he proved that he can win the overall World Cup.

WHEN YOU LIVE of running on skis in over one hundred km / h it goes without saying that a failure or wood. It is not possible to be perfect under such circumstances and working conditions. But the more you dare, the stronger you are and the more often you run the routes that creates the great heroes in alpine skiing, the faster it goes.

Sper an injury-free year into the mix you have answer Kjetil Jansrud violent rally and success in 2014.

Austrian Hannes Reichelt was almost perfect and got early snøkontakt after the heavy compression towards the end of Beaver Creeks technical and very demanding Super G. Kjetil Jansrud, who was in front of the Austrian in the ski left the ground after about a minute of driving, it was not. A small mistake will surely many say, it’s as I said impossible to be perfect.

But when you lose well over half a second in a passage is error sterling.

SAME TIME IS IT like that happens in these speeds. And therefore does not hang Kjetil Jansrud head. No, he was not the first who won all races in North America (Lake Louise and Beaver Creek). But he was number two and took 80 new points in the World Cup. And it is not insignificant when one knows that the common denominator for all who win three World Cup races in a row it is certainly all alpine skiers have the ultimate dream.

The big crystal ball to FIS.

Whoever always awarded to the overall winner and the world’s best skier the third weekend in March.

Kjetil Jansrud IS not there yet. That is until further speed events that have been his thing. But for one who did everything for little-used word dexterity to a skifysisk granted where as ambitious kid, youth and eventually husband drove hundreds of giant slalom turns in Kvitfjell, is not the road to competitiveness in giant slalom very long.

Basically, it was the giant slalom runs he was.

With the self-confidence in 2014 has given him – where the Olympic gold in Sochi course is top – I am convinced that the way back there is very short.

MUCH low back pain other injuries (smoke ligament in the World Cup 2013) has meant that Kjetil Jansrud have had to wait on the final breakthrough. He has been good when he has been injury, yes, but where he is now – almost unbeatable – he was the first in years. What it does with the psyche I can only guess, but I guess it gives an already tough and courageous skier even bigger balls.

Each even greater confidence that he can dominate and win it all.

Including giant slalom.

THE FIRST ANSWER it comes in Beavercreek tomorrow night (Sunday) Norwegian time. I sincerely hope Kjetil Jansrud going to start to win the race, and not just glean many points as possible in terms of overall list that has his name on top. I’m not saying that he per date is good enough to win in giant slalom too, but he wants it will warp the training and experience he brings along open even more doors.

And Jansrud without faith boundaries are a skier who can do everything.

Even win the overall World Cup.
