“I must reveal the truth about the world CUP”
“Brenning: For the first time got to see it.”
“SEEFELD. A Norwegian reserve held off for a Russian reserve and behind the skied Calle Halfvarsson (which is also not thought to run) into a hedersam sixth place.”
“Vikariepoolen lined up on the femmilen when Hans Christer Holund put an end to the world CUP with Norway’s tenth gold.”
“But before we leave Seefeld do I need to tell you one thing. “
“Before we go home, I must reveal the truth about the nordic world ski CHAMPIONSHIPS.”
“Hans Christer Holund took Norway’s tenth gold medal in Seefeld when he went away and Johan Olsson-vis won femmilen. Closer than Olsson-the parable did not come, nor the Swedish gentlemen a medal. “
“It’s a way to sum up the world CHAMPIONSHIPS in Austria. But there is also another. Let me take you to the world CUP party we got to experience over the last few weeks.”
“Can close the oljekranarna now”
“If you jump on the train to Seefeld, take the road from the train station to the right of the pink dopinghuset and then hold a little left down towards the village so will you. To the street of bars in Oslo. “
“To the left is an excellent Italian restaurant. To the right are the hundreds of full of norwegians and skrålar in line with the old discodängor made in dansbandstappning and somewhere inside one of the restaurants sits Petter Northug and brag about their conquests too impressed with Norwegian journalists.”
“On the street in what looks like a personal lotteribås are two women and mixes the grog. The air smells of mulled wine. It feels like a gigantic christmas tree plundering. It is the world CUP in skiing.”
“We have been here for two world CUP weeks now. We have seen Therese Johaug söndagspromenera home gold enough to gild the Oslo opera house, and we have seen Norway as a team to retrieve as much precious metal that they can turn off the where oljekranarna now. “
“Norway dominates undoubtedly present. But we have also seen the Swedish ladies take a firm grip on the future. “
“Cold is that Björn Borg”
“the 21-year-old Ebba Andersson was marred initially by a disease, but proved during parts of the tremilsloppet that she will be a big medal hopes in many championships in the future. 19-year-old Frida Karlsson showed that she could be a favorite to podium finishes in all distanstävlingar in the world cup the next 15 years.”
“But the most beautiful has been to see the veteran’s Charlotte Kalla in the middle of all of this. For in several ways is, of course, all of this is 31-see her bold fashion works.”
“It is Cold, which inspired both Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson to try to attempt a career in skidvärlden. It was her they hunted in the Swedish forests on the lookout for idolbilder when they were small. It is her Frida now stands högröd in the face next after that again happened to call his teammate for the ”Cold” and not ”Charlotte”.”
“It is, as someone wrote on Twitter, as if Borg had to play the Davis Cup, along with Mats Wilander, Stefan Edberg and the gang. It is at the same time, something Charlotte Call have very difficult to relate to. “
” I have the most focus on creating new merits and not to think of what my old credentials have inspired. But Frida and Ebba inspires me to continue now. “
“this way, they have created a small loop of inspiration, Charlotte, Ebba and Frida, which means that we are already long from here. To new world cup events. To more championships. But before we leave Seefeld we need to talk about something else. We must reveal the truth about skiing.”
“Längdskidåkningen marked in Sweden by a kind of sundhetsaura. It is exercise, outdoors, fresh air and blåbärssoppa. In Seefeld, has for the first time I have seen what the cross-country skiing for Norway.”
“One big wet fyllefest. A Swedish football championships raised to the power of ten. “
“Norwegian skaters are rock stars”
“When Therese Johaug and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg took his last medals after according to cas, they did it with partystassen hidden under landslagsjackan. “
” Now we drink jägershots, they said unabashedly to the Norwegian press.”
“– It might be medaljtårta again, ” said Frida Karlsson when the same Norwegian reporters wondered how the swede could celebrate.”
“The Norwegian skaters are rock stars with groupies. The Swedish is knäckebrödsambassadörer with the nutritionist.”
“To go through Seefeld is also to be thrown into the series The Walking Dead. Everything is about to catch a swerve for the drunken Norwegian fans who, like the bitten zoombies rocks up along the streets. When the norwegians for the twelfth day in a row, the tops of the glasses and skrålar ”Yes we elsker president of the country” so that it roars between the walls of the rock, I begin to also understand why they are so superior to us in uthållighetsidrott.”
“It is actually hard to take in, how many thousands of norwegians who have come to Austria to see the country take gold after gold in the ski tracks. It will also take a while to digest that we now have the three last, who can challenge them on the long distances. And at least three who can already dominate them on the brief.”
“isn’t it a bit like a dream and I can’t get away from the feeling that everything we have experienced here has not been for real. We have not been with this. That we will wake up in the morning and so will none of this be true. It was a dream. Or that we have only been extras in someone else’s dream.”
“Frida’s dream. Or Calle Halfvarssons nightmare. “
“Halfvarsson world’s largest-profile”
“For sure, you can also see it in front of you? How Calle Halfvarsson beats up my eyes cold sweat at home in Sågmyra.”
“– I had such a nasty nightmare. We were at the world CUP and everything went to hell. The rod went off, I did all the tactical errors, drove straight into the wall, happened to be lying for the whole of the press and was hated by everyone on Twitter. “
“– Yes, but that was not the strangest. I dreamed that I was an american rap artist and recorded a fully sick music video with Kläbo, Northug and Sundby.”
“God, what a strange. But what a relief it was only a dream then. Come now so we go and eat breakfast.”
“I hope you treat yourself to something tasty for breakfast Calle, for if we put the results aside for a second can I without irony, say that you were the world’s largest profile for me. Skidvärlden had been a much sadder place without you.”
