The Norwegian has stopped physical activity in early September after feeling very weak during the whole month of August. The scans revealed the presence of a virus because of which the body of the twenty-seven of Mosvik was strongly weakened.
Therefore Northug in accordance with his personal coach, Eirik Myhr Nossum, decided to suspend the preparation with the aim of recovering physical condition. The nine-time world champion would have to start this week, but he has not recovered fully and has therefore decided to postpone by another 7 days to return to work.
According to the words of the technical participation of the holder of the World Cup to the Tour de Ski is considered at risk. In fact, the main goal for the upcoming season are the Olympic Games in Sochi and at this point we will evaluate whether to avoid the grueling competition in stages placed between late December and early January.
However there are those who are worse off than Northug. If in the case of Norway, there is still a moderate optimism, the same can not be said for the Swede Emil Jönsson, in turn, struggling with a viral infection.
The most successful sprinter of all time does not see the light at the end of the tunnel and has come to define their state of current form "a sinking ship".
As they say if Athens cries, Sparta does not laugh.
