SEEFELD (Dagbladet): Finally succeeded the for Emil Iversen also in the championship. After two heavy mesterskapsopplevelser in Lahti and Pyeongchang have meråkerbyggen been in his life’s form this season.
It paid off fully when he and John Høsflot Klæbo received their well deserved gold medals after the triumph of the lagsprinten previous Sunday. After to have received the gold and heard the Norwegian national anthem, it was a glorious happy Iversen who met the Norwegian press.
It was huge. Fortunately, there were no tears. I knew only of the insane lykkerusen and smiled from ear to ear. All that stands me close was ringside, it is in a way a teamseier it here. It is fantastic, I have not any cooler words.
I don’t know if it has gone up for me, but it is clear, when we come in the room and was alone for a few minutes, I felt special. I’m just proud of myself, it has been a long way from the time I was a small boy, ” says Iversen to the overall press.
Was the worst
Iversen has previously told that he was “Norway’s worst skier” as femtenåring. When he finished absolutely last in the Hovedlandsrennet and assessed to provide themselves with cross-country skiing. 12 years later he is the world champion on skis. Iversen would like to thank all those who have helped him on the road.
There was little to indicate that I should be world champion then, but I have been on and had a lot of good people around me. The family has been on now for the last couple of years and the skaters on the team have done that I have been able to clearly to take the final step in the national team, so there are many who will have a thank you for that I will be world champion, but I’ve done some of the job yourself also.
One of those who has helped him great in taking the last step is the little brother Mats Iversen. Before this season, chose Emil to engage the two years younger brother as a sort of “handyman” in the hopes that a little extra help would have a good effect in the pursuit of precious metal in Seefeld.

It has worked much. And the little Mats have stretched out far to help Emil on the way to world cup gold.
After medaljeseremonien take the Radio journalist Michal Aaserud up a story he wants to get confirmed about the length Mats Iversen has gone to help his brother.
– Thus, I can confirm that the Mats Iversen stood in 2-2,5 hour in the woods in the dark and in the rain and the cloak grankvister so I wouldn’t get them in the face on three tours, ” says Emil Iversen.
Even is Mats Iversen now in place in Seefeld as a part of the Norwegian smøreteamet. When the Newspaper confronted him with the story he laughs loudly and tells that he remembers the command and mission from Emil.
– It was in september, it was dark, I remember, about in the nitida in the evening. I was told to take with me a pair of scissors out and clean up the trail of his. He springs the same round each time his knight three trip. He does about twice a week. Then he had apparently grown tired of that it was soft and to get the grankvistene in the face, ” says the younger Iversen-the brother of the Newspaper.
Iversen struck back:- Got a lot of verbal abuse
Furthermore, says Mats Iversen, the brother has many demands in the course of the year, but that he did not have any problem with performing the various missions he gets.
He forces me not to do anything, he is trying not to humiliate me. I do it I get a message, so if there is anything he asks so I do it without asking questions, ” says Mats to the Newspaper.
And this gold makes it well worth it?
– Yes, you are crazy. I felt that it was there then also. All I can help me makes me happy. But just as I thought, a few more such missions, it is not sure I can, ” says little brother, Iversen and laughs.
Emil laughs when he tells the story, but is careful to point out that he gave his brother an extra reward as a thank you for the job.
– That’s right, but I was at home and steika waffle and made cocoa until he came home. And I took him out. But yes, it is perhaps one of the worst he has done, confirms Emil Iversen who admits that he is a little spoiled.
It’s probably true yes. It was waffles and cocoa. It was needed, for I was wet and cold, ” says Mats.
tonight is Mats on her brother’s gullfeiring together with the whole family Here, as well as Emils girlfriend, all of which are in place in Seefeld.
Now I’m going out and eat dinner with the family and relax a bit, so perhaps I should relax a few days, until I hopefully go 15-kilometer and a relay. It gave them a taste to go the relay so I’m very aware if someone wants me on the team, ” says Emil Iversen.
