SEEFELD (Dagbladet): It was no lucky day for Norway’s two best sprinters on it which was an extra long tremil in Seefeld.
Emil Iversen and John Høsflot Klæbo got up early on skøytedelen of the competition a clear message from many Arild Monsen about to calm down. The focus disappeared from the fight about a pleasant and friendly results and of on to perform at the teamsprint.
the Duo have something to revansjere. In the world CHAMPIONSHIPS in Lahti two years ago was everything to the right of Norway to take gold, but a pinnestiv Emil Iversen crashed with Iivo Niskanen right before the run and instead to fight for the gold medal, it was a sour fourth place.
Want to get revenge
It shall not happen again, promises Emil Iversen.
On Sunday there is only one thing that applies, and there is victory. We go for the gold, there is not any point to add the hide on the.
– That it went to hell in Lahti talks to you may not be so much about?
– We don’t go and think too much about the accident we had in the winter sports there. It was an accident and it came to pass, but it is a motivation also. At the same time, it is motivation enough in itself to go for the gold medal. Settle the score or not, it is a gold medal to fight for. It is a kjempesjanse, and we have a pretty good team on paper, at least.

Monsen believes the guys have got the right setting to lagsprinten after that they got what they wanted on the tremila. When is the good results from the sprint on Thursday, something both of them have gone.
the Sprint for John and Emil right now is forgotten. Now they are simply very revansjesugne, it should not get to sit long. I’m no worried about it. The setting to not dread and be afraid to have emptied itself does not exist in and with the result it was for them, ” says Monsen.
I had been more scared of them came in as number five and six, 58 seconds behind as they had to give at the end of the day. It did not happen, luckily I held on to say, when it was like that.
Now is the settle the score that applies to the two?
– Yes, I feel it after a day like today. Then it is good that they have taken out everything, ” says Monsen.

After today’s race was Iversen so disappointed that he vented to scrap themselves to favorittdistansen of 15 km on Wednesday.
For my part, it was much heavier than I had hoped for. It was a bad day, but it takes I as a man, I was not good enough simply. I felt better on Thursday, admits Iversen.
A question Monsen now need to ask is whether Emil Iversen is in the form that is required to beat the competition. Monsen believes the 27-year-old was in better form earlier this season.
I think maybe he’s not completely where he was, at the same time, the other definitely been better. Emil had not been on the team if it were ice-skating, but we have long known that it is not. I am not a afraid of it, I think it is becoming more and more run later in the morning.

the General got a good news on Saturday evening. That desired was in fact the Norwegian team drawn in the first semi-final as the best seeded crew. It is an advantage, believes the coach.
– It will probably be a straightforward advantage of to go as early as possible, it will say in semi-final 1. There is no better blend throughout the day, but in a finale is the same for all, ” says Monsen.
the Fight for the gold medal mean John Høsflot Klæbo going to stand between the five teams.
I think there are many who are tough to beat. Both Sweden, Italy, France and Russia are going to be up there, so they think I may bite very well.
On paper I would probably say that Russia is the biggest favorite. They have two that can put the high speed and go smoothly. They have many good qualities, so they are probably on paper the notch sharper than us, but we are going to try to bite from the us as well as we can.
With Russia as the biggest favorite they have the Norwegian guys added a simple tactical plan for the final.
– We shall up langbakken, so I think it is well run, and I expect that the russians are dravillige and will be away most teams so when can our tactics be so simple that we should follow the russertoget, ” says Arild Monsen.
