A bucket of dung
Nor Sondre Turvoll Fossli, who was the only Norwegian in the final, was particularly cheerful after the fifth.

Landslagsløperen have worn throughout the years, and although he is the best in the classic sprint, he has mostly vaket around number ten, or worse.
– What is missing?

Next year is the hope, certainly. If not, I had made up. I now have faith that I can deliver better, and next year there are more klassisksprinter also, so I’m toppmotivert, I.
