“”Sweden is where we were for four–five years ago””
“Norskorna the fear of american domination: We have had the benefit of it.”

“Sweden beat the hot favourite Norway in the world CHAMPIONSHIPS relay. Extra impressive given that the average age of the Swedish world is 24 years, compared with Norway’s silvergäng of just over 29.”
“We have had the benefit of the””
“now, the Question is inevitable: is the Sweden to take over the throne on the women’s side?”
” Sweden has a jättestarkt law now. We have seen that we had a very young team a long time and has had the benefit of it and now we look to Sweden to get the top talent. It goes a bit in waves, suddenly there is no vintage that is fast and then it takes a while before you get up the new. That is what has happened in Sweden now. They are maybe a little bit of where we were for four–five years ago, ” says 30-year-old Therese Johaug.”
“So we can count with the Swedish domination in the future?”
” No, it says I’m not but if you look to the history so it goes in waves. It is also what makes the sport so exciting.”
“the 28-year-old Ingvild Flugstad Östberg also speaks of a gap in the Norwegian re-growth. “
“– It was the same between Marit (Björgen) and down to Therese and the rest of us. It’s a bit strange that there are some vintages where there are fewer riders coming up, but now did the younger norskorna it very well in the junior world CHAMPIONSHIPS so it is a lot of skiing in Norway, and there are many people who go fast. We hope that we will get regrowth, and this, I believe, but it will not by itself. “
“The German coach Peter Schlickenrieder say that we are starting to see the end of Norwegian dominance. What is your reaction to it?”
” I can only speak for myself and I just become motivated by other presses us. Marit began their largest domination after the age I’m in now and age, Heidi and Therese is in now. We have many good years left, but of course we have to work hard for it to come up more from behind. “
