Nordic SkiingSeefeld World Championships
The Norwegian is part of the narrow range of cross-country skiers who have won all distance races in a World Championship reaching the compatriot Marit Bjoergen (Lahti 2017) and the Russian Elena Vjalbe who, to tell the truth, in Trondheim in 1997 also won the 5 km.

Cyclone Therese Johaug in version 2.0, or after two years of stop for breakfast of anti-doping regulations, also hits the 30 km free technique that concludes the women's program of the World Championships in Seefeld.
The twenty nine year old Norwegian dictates the rhythm from the first beats provoking from the first of the four laps the selection in the platoon of the opponents. At the first turning point, the Swedes Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson, the American Jessica Diggins and the Austrian Teresa Stadlober are already at 14 seconds, Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg is at 20, the others already exceed half a minute. Johaug assaults the final blow on the climb of the second round, greets everyone and leaves. At mid-race it has 40 seconds of advantage and consulting the annals would appear to be in the navigation line roadmap to be able to enter the record book for the greatest detachment inflicted in a 30 km worldwide that belongs since the distant 1999 to the Russian Larissa Lazutina that exceeded 94 seconds the compatriot Olga Danilova. Six are able to play the other positions of the podium: Diggins, Oestberg, Karlsson, Andersson, Stadlober and Swiss Nathalie Von Siebenethal who has returned to them.
All the first change the skis at the beginning of the third lap and explode the race for the squares of honor. Attack the brave Frida Karlsson, revelation of this world championship, and manages to gain ten seconds on the US and Norwegian as they slip away from the others. Oestberg grits his teeth and manages to get back on the young Swede while he surrenders to the evidence of a World without medals Jessica Diggins.
Theresa Johaug does not accelerate further, controls the situation and wins hands down while the silver challenge for the silver medal rewards Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg who has the last check and closes to 36 seconds from the compatriot while the nineteen Frida Karlsson wins the Bronze and his second individual medal at the world debut in which he was the first under 20 in history to go to the medal. Johaug conquers all three distance races in Seefeld, a successful venture previously only two years ago in Marit Bjoergen and 22 years ago in Elena Vjalbe in a World Championship where the Russian won the 5 km. The Norwegian does not approach the record gap of Lazutina but the 36 seconds are the fourth gap in the story to Johaug has his name in front of second, third and fourth.
Jessica Diggins manages to keep the fourth place while in a sprint all Swedish the reassembling Charlotte Dalla beat Ebba Andersson for the fifth place. E 'seventh Nathalie Von Siebenthal, eighth Stadlober, ninth German Victoria Carl and tenth Ragnhild Haga.
The first of the blue is Elisa Brocard who finishes in twenty-second position at 4.59.5 from the winner, Sara Pellegrini is thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth Ilaria Debertolis.
