Chiss & agrave; What will they think now all the detractors of Petter Northug, who called it only a succhiaruote. The Norwegian, reached the final by lucky loser in the semifinal which included all four subjects of King Harald, dispute a final almost exclusively to the head, before taking easily queues Pellegrino when valdostano tried to escape, then passing to the command and succeeding resisting since the finish line at the return of Alex Harvey, triumphing at the photo finish. & Nbsp; That & egrave today; Northug for win number 43 all-inclusive career, but above & egrave; l & rsquo; gold world number 10, including 6 individual.
