The Norwegian champion, is extremely disappointing that the skiathlon in the sprint yesterday, this year he won the 10km in alternating Val di Fiemme during the Tour de Ski. Evidently, however, the Norwegian technicians have assessed the conditions of the current form, not bending to the name: Northug will concentrate on the relay and the 50 km that will close the program of the Games.
Another excellent except that PÃ¥l Golberg, winner early in the season in Lillehammer. At this point Golberg will probably hijacked the team sprint, as not suitable to cover other roles in the Olympic trials remaining.
The quartet of Norway in the 15 km classic technique will be composed by Martin Johnsrud Sundby, Eldar Rønning, Chris Jespersen and Didrik Tønseth, who after being the last to earn the call for Sochi becomes the last to win a place in a race in five circles. Needless to say, all four will have ambitions of the coin, with Rønning and Sundby, in particular, who won silver and bronze respectively in this race at the World Championships in Oslo in 2011.
