SEEFELD/OSLO (Dagbladet): – It is difficult to put into words, ” says Sjur Røthe to NRK.
Where the women’s skiathlon was a reindeer parademarsj for Therese Johaugs part, degenerated men’s tremil quite different. Sjur Røthe was in kanonform, refused to let the competition go, and passed the finish line first in Seefeld on Saturday.
there was a duel from start to finish. In the group that fought to the end and that knife on the win, was Martin Johnsrud sundby’s time and Sjur Røthe. In the latter, the ground jerked sundby’s time from Røthe and Alexander Bolsjunov.
Bolsjunov seemed to drop the two norwegians in the last hump, but got too full – and just a long Røthe-toe holding him to the silver. Røthe (30) took his first world cup gold.
Martin Johnsrud sundby’s time took the bronze.

Coach Eirik Myhr Nossum broke down in tears in interview with NRK after the gold.
– I said it was not asked, but it was there. Sjur… I just have to go, said Nossum, before he sank together on the haunches and let the tears flow.
Sjur Røthe himself says:
today The working plan A until it is full. It feels absolutely amazing. It is hard to describe what I feel now. It is difficult to put into words. I had totally enormous ski, and over three miles is the cost the less for those with good skiing than bad. I had a good plan for the last two miles, and followed it to the fullest, ” says Røthe to NRK.
Mother Randi-Kirsten Røthe was also touched. She knows that Sjur Røthe has had some tough years, where among other things, he has been diagnosed with rheumatism. The back has been a problem for the 30-year-old, at a time preparing for that career could be over.
– This is very touching. It is well I have glasses on me. He complaints the never. He cares more about how others have it, ” she says to Dagbladet.
Tough battle
While Johaug had managed to shake off the competition after just four kilometres, was the men’s tremil a ever so little lureløp at the outset – where the Norwegian guys was cleverly placed in the field.
But the pace was set up before skibyttet, and Sjur Røthe and Martin Johnsrud sundby’s time were the only norwegians who hung with the lead out on the skøytedelen.
So caught Røthe. The others in the group, among other Alexander Bolsjunov, Iivo Niskanen and Andrew Musgrave, struggled to keep up.
the Pace slowed down again, and from there had Russian Bolsjunov command. The runners fell off, one by one. Out on the sisterunden consisted of the group of five runners.
Sjur Røthe was the strongest of them.
Gave up
John Høsflot Klæbo and Emil Iversen was hooked before the skibyttet.
Early they directed the focus towards the lagsprinten Sunday. It confirmed coach Eirik Myhr Nossum opposite NRK.
They have given up. It is the one that is the focus now, ” said the coach.
sundby’s time was “dritfornøyd”, even after bronze.
I’m there. It is close to gold, and all sorts of strange. It is so far over it I performed the rest of the season. I get out my best in a world CHAMPIONSHIP and taking a medal in a championship. It is I superfornøyd with. It is a superdag with Sjurs says also, ” says sundby’s time to NRK.
