An authentic force of nature, capable of writing another incredible page of his career on the night of Oslo. We are talking about Therese Johaug, a star who simply is not content with dominating the snow, but proves to have an even higher potential even in the world of athletics. At the second official 10,000 meters of her life, in fact, the Norwegian champion has signed an extraordinary feat. At the "Impossible Games", in fact the first high-level event to reopen the season on the track, Johaug set a time of 31''40 "69, which means the best seasonal world performance (although obviously the long lockdown period has limited the possibilities of many specialists) and over 40 seconds of staff cut, made last summer at the national championships.
