Until a few days ago the owner of the relay in pairs was Ingvild Flugstad & Ø StBerG, however the results obtained in & Öland; stersund and Falun have convinced the leaders of cross country skiing in Norway to review your choices. The leader of the team sprint Roar Hjelmeset explains: & ldquo; Ingvild and Maiken have played a season practically parallel, it was necessary to make a choice, and in the light of the results of Thursday on Igrave; we preferred Maiken. & Egrave; was difficult to give this news to Ingvild, & egrave; was terrible to see her disappointment, but we are a team d & rsquo; elite and there & rsquo; & egrave; space for everyone & rdquo ;.
For its part Falla & egrave; beaming: & ldquo; I was doing a physiotherapy session when they approached Egil Kristiansen (responsible for the women's team) and Roar Hjelmeset. I thought I would give bad news, but I have indicated that I competed in the Team Sprint! & Rdquo ;.
Conversely big disappointment & Ø StBerG, explains L & oslash; fshus: & ldquo; I l & rsquo; thankless task of making these choices, often step as executioner, but & egrave; a part of my job. The worst & egrave; was to see the tears of Ingvild & rdquo ;. However, the 24 year old publicly & egrave; appeared calm, although he preferred not to make statements to reporters.
To & Ø StBerG however not everything & egrave; lost. Bj & oslash; rgen fact could decide based on the result of Skiathlon today to give up the Team Sprint; in this case the place alongside Falla would be his.
