For Hamar, on the occasion of the national athletics championships, there was something truly unique.

Therese Johaug could not fail to catalyze everyone's attention, with the participation in the 10000 meter race on the track, a few days after signing a new record on roller skis, in the ascent of the Lysebotn Uphill Race to the BlinkFestivalen.
The one who combined the champion of the fund, however, went beyond all expectations: 5th best time in Norwegian history in the specialty, with the 32'20 â€86 final which also means 17th seasonal time in the world, and opponents dubbed more sometimes with Maria Sagnes Wagan, who had won the 5000 to which Johaug had not been able to participate, due to the lack of the necessary federal minimum, separated by 2''27 ".
"I planned to run the first lap in 77 seconds, when I saw 68" I was thinking of a chronometer error ... - Therese confessed in the post race - I then paid the initial effort, but I wanted to test myself to the maximum ".
Simply unbelievable, even though the 31-year-old Norwegian has already shown for some time that she is out of category, in her sport and beyond, with physical and mental abilities at unreachable levels. Her return after the disqualification (discussed and debatable) that prevented her from participating in the PyeongChang Games, immediately made it clear that this Johaug is even more hungry than the one who already dominated until 2016.
