Just yesterday, Marit Bjørgen confided to the press of pawing at the thought back in the race after over a year and a half. This morning, Roar Hjelmeset coach of the Norwegian women's team, has however announced that the most successful skier ever has cooled, and could therefore be forced to desert the appointment of the weekend.

"Marit was not feeling well this morning," said Hjelmeset, thus justifying the non-athlete participation in a previously issued press conference.
Asked about the possibility that Bjørgen is present at the start Friday, Hjelmeset joked ( "History is full of people who have fallen ill but are healed"), but admitted that participation is in doubt.
The health problems in Norway House does not end there: also Martin Johnsrud Sundby, in fact, may have to postpone his debut because of a sore throat.
Only in the coming hours, according to potential progress, the medical staff will decide whether to give the green light for testing of Beitostølen to the two athletes perhaps the most anticipated.
