Sunday 11 January 2015 10 minutes reading time
For Bj & oslash; rgen the hard climb to the Cermis turns into a catwalk triumphant: the advantage gained in the first six stages, pi & ugrave; two minutes of Heidi Weng, enabling it to come up with their own pace and to be able to take home the & rsquo; only competition of a certain weight that was missing its unmatched palmares. In past seasons in fact the pi & ugrave; great distance runner of all time for one reason or the & rsquo; other & ndash; by poor form to seasonal ailments, from known heart problem suffered in 2012 to the simple fact of finding a & rsquo; half pi & ugrave; Strong & ndash; had never been able to cut the finish line first Cermis. For Bj & oslash; rgen comes cos & Igrave; win number 110 all inclusive career and 71 World Cup, which result in the general classification allows it to rise to 1588 points: in half & agrave; season has gi & agrave; gleaned pi & ugrave; Johaug than it obtained at the end of & rsquo; last year that earned him the crystal ball. Also today's & egrave; the podium number 108 in the World Cup in his career, as many as obtained by the jumper Janne Ahonen.
L & rsquo; only interesting duel of the day if he wins Therese Johaug, that as soon as the climb is challenging resets the separation from Heidi Weng, that resists for a few hundred meters before giving up completely. Johaug goes cos & Igrave; to take second place overall and, for the sixth time in his career and fifth in a row, the stage victory in climbing to Cermis. Weng defends without any difficulty & agrave; the final podium, the number 28 without success, for what & egrave; the second consecutive hat-trick of Norway in the women's Tour de Ski. The two Norwegians occupy the second and third place in the overall World Cup, respectively detached of 450 and 571 points from Bj & oslash; rgen, with & Ø StBerG Haga fourth and fifth.
In this regard, before analyzing the rest of the group, & egrave; must emphasize the excessive power of the vassals of King Harald cross-country skiing women doing talk numbers:
* Norway has a streak of 25 wins in open competitions of the first level. L & rsquo; last non-Norwegian to dominate & egrave; Kikkan Randall was in Lahti Sprint last March 1. In these 25 races, a second Norwegian & egrave; always been able to get on the podium with the winner.
* Norway has opened a strip of eight podium finishes in races monopolized the first level, or all 7 stages pi & ugrave; the final standings of the Tour de Ski. L & rsquo; last no Norwegian able to finish in the top three & egrave; Stina Nilsson was second in the Sprint Davos last December 21.
* Norway has an open strip of three consecutive races multistages in which monopolises the podium in the final standings. L & rsquo; last no Norwegian able to finish in the top three race multistages & egrave; Charlotte Kalla was, according to the Nordic Opening in 2013.
* Lastly but to Johaug stage & egrave; win number 250 all inclusive in the history of Norway in the women's cross-country skiing, making 251 with the success of Bj & oslash; rgen in the final standings. This l & rsquo; list of girls that helped taking into account the overall victories (World Cup, Stages of Events Multistages, World Cup and Olympics)

Returning to the test today, as beautiful as little use the head to head between Ragnhild Haga and Elizabeth Stephen for the fourth place finish. Ticking the Norwegian, who after having had some difficulty & agrave; at the beginning of the climb, take the steps Cermis going to reject the & rsquo; s attack & rsquo; American, the late fifth. Good stage also Eva Vrabcová & ndash; Nývltová, sixth in front of the German Nicole Fessel and Denise Herrmann. Yet another fool instead of Justyna Kowalczyk, who started fifth but retired a few hundred meters from the finish when he struggled to finish among the top ten.
The Italian does not emulate the splendid proof of Roland Clara: Ilaria Debertolis ends nineteenth, the same position that boasted at the start, Virginia De Martin Topranin & egrave; twenty-third (a square lost) while Francesca Baudin & egrave; thirty-third (three positions lost).
