As for the girls, there are no big surprises. Being able to deploy five athletes, as Marit Bj & oslash; rgen & egrave; the holder of both titles, has facilitated the choices of Egil Kristiansen and Roar Hjelmeset, responsible respectively for the team sprint and distance of the women.
As for Sprint, Kari Vikhagen Gjeitnes and Celine Brun-Lie lead challengers Heidi Weng and joined by Marit Bj & oslash; rgen, Ingvild Flugstad & Ø StBerG and Maiken Caspersen Falla in the trial that open his & agrave; the program of Falun. In Skiathlon instead & egrave; Martine Ek Hagen you & egrave; cornered l & rsquo; last place available, garegger & agrave; Marit with Bj & oslash; rgen, Therese Johaug, Heidi Weng and Astrid Jacobsen. Postponed to 10 Km and 30 Km Ragnhild Haga and Kristin St & oslash; rmer Steira.
Instead controversy regarding the choices in the male sector. Finn H & aring; January Krogh, not pi & ugrave; two days ago dominated the stage & Öland; stersund, will stay & agrave; to look in both the Sprint that in Skiathlon. Out as expected also Turvoll Sondre Fossli, unique cross-country skier can always get in the final Sprint in alternating this season, and Chris Jespersen, who will focus & agrave; about 50 Km.
Thursday on Igrave; therefore compete Petter Northug, Tomas Northug, Ola Vigen Hattestad and Eirik Brandsdal as gi & agrave; established after the national championships, while Saturday with Petter Northug and Martin Johnsrud Sundby there will Didrik T & oslash; nseth and Niklas Dyrhaug.
Arild Monsen, head of the Norwegian team sprint, trying to explain the choices: & ldquo; One illness or injury could change the cards on the table. & Egrave; nice to see Krogh fit, but the team sprint for Falun & egrave; was decided after R & oslash; ros, and both he and the other members of the team knew very well & rdquo ;.
Yet l & rsquo; last year Hattestad, winning in Dobbiaco, blew hierarchies, earning the place for Sochi own at the expense of Krogh: & ldquo; In that case Finn H & aring; Jan was was unwell, while Ola was in great shape. Quest & rsquo; year instead of all four selected showed no difficulties & agrave; & rdquo ;.
Redemption in skiathlon Saturday? No, because & eacute; Krogh will stay & agrave; Also watching the 15 + 15, distance prohibitive for its features. His world could start Sunday with the Team Sprint, but the Norwegian couple & egrave; yet to be determined, as explained by the manager of the team allround male Trond Nystad: & ldquo; We are discussing the time, there are several uncertainties, and much will depend & agrave; how will stand Northug and Sundby after Saturday's race. Two of them, Krogh and Gl & oslash; Ersen are candidates to participate in the Team Sprint & rdquo ;.
Being able to give up the leader of specialty & agrave; of Sprint, as well as & eacute; man pi & ugrave; in the form of the moment, as demonstrated with the small historic feat accomplished at & Öland; stersund, d & agrave; the size of the quality & agrave; Norwegian cross-country skiers. However if you do not arrive medals heavy jobs at home would be wasted.
