SEEFELD (Dagbladet): Mari Eide took a surprising bronze medal after a dramatic finale in Seefeld. The nykronede bronsevinneren has had it rough since her sister Ida tragically passed away in september 2018.
After the world cup–the biggest was secured used Owned good time to explain just how important his sister had been for her.
– It is only there to have the family and the team around him that has pusha me to be better. I have thought a lot about Ida and she has been with me all the way. She has been the main series that always went ahead as a good example to never give up, so I have thought a lot about her, ” says the 29-year-old.
29-year-old even says that she feels both joy and sorrow when she celebrates the world cup-bronze without the one year older sister. It was in fact she who Owned should preferably be celebrated this together with.

SKI: Mari Eide, took the bronze medal in the sprint during the Ski world CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019 in Seefeld. Video: Kristoffer Løkås / Dagbladet Show more – So deserved
his place was unexpected to most, but to return to the closest unison pleasure from a total langrennsverden.
I gave her this really, said the Swedish sølvvinneren Stina Nilsson.
What she has been through is somehow a little impossible for us, who has not been involved in anything like this. I got some chills on my back when I saw that she took the bronze. It was absolutely amazing and certainly deserved to say the least. I’m very happy on her behalf, ” says Emil Iversen.
When the Newspaper met Sindre Bjørnestad Cut after the finish, had to sprintesset resort to tears when he started talking about Mari Eide. Feelings that manifested itself, was so strong that the Cut several times had to retrieve in order to complete the tribute of bronsevinneren.
– It is so great when we know everything She has been through. This medal is maybe even bigger than gullene to Maiken and John, if we look at the whole story, ” says Bjørnestad Cut to the Newspaper.
– There are a lot of emotions right now. Mari is a wonderful person who means so much to all of us. It was kjipt that I broke in the semi-finals on a day where I felt good enough for a medal, but when Mari manages this … Yes, then. It pleases enormously.
Caregiver
the Flood of accolades about the Eide is not undeserved. 29-year-old has long been a unifying person in the Norwegian skimiljøet, with great care for others. Therefore, everyone feels that his place, which was her first pallbesøk in his career, was so deserved.
A new instance of the care you got to see in the semi-finals. Eide was the first promotion to take care of a broken Kristine Stavås Skistad after her accident on the run. Owned, that went on because of the fall, had to get the information of landslagets assistenttrener Geir Change the Roe that someone else would take care of Skistad, before she went to prepare for the final.
Mari is a person who cares a lot about others and I think she gets a little again and that many people therefore think it’s nice that she succeed. It is nice to hear, I think of course it’s exciting, but I think there are many others who think the same, ” says his partner, Anders Gløersen.
– the Toughest time in my life,
It’s half a year since Mari eide’s sister, Ida, passed away during a mosjonsløp, only 30 years old. Broken had Mari Eide prioritize away a lot of training when the grief took over.
It has been the toughest time in my life. There have been times where you don’t realize how you will be able to live, ” says Mr. today.
Few had thought that the Eide should receive a medal when she had it as bad this fall. Not even bronsekvinnen even dared to speak aloud about the world cup-participation.
When I talked with you the first time in november, it wasn’t something that worked. It was sort of impossible to begin to go skirenn and I cared not really so much about to go skirenn. It was the only world cup that was the dream and I dared almost not say it out loud that it was the goal, ” says Eide.
– Now it is I who must clear me without you – A win for Ida
Owned have been the fifth woman on the Norwegian team also in the last two championships, but thanks to Maiken Caspersen Fallas sprintgull in Lahti got Owned finally able to take the step from the reserve to a start.
the world cup-the space was secured in just The two weeks ago when she took it to the final, while Ane Appelkvist Stenseth broke out in the semifinals. Only then began that Owned even to have faith in that this could go. Not even the 29-year-old even thought it was going to go right so well. Dagbladet and other Norwegian media, she explains that she was hoping for a finaleplass.
his place was therefore to be regarded as a victory. It assigns the she is the deceased sister, but also the others who have been her close.
It is a victory for the Ida and for the whole family, but I feel that I should share it with the entire team also, they have a really big part of that I stand here today.
in Particular, her partner Anders Gløersen and Ida eide’s boyfriend Nils Ingar Aadne been particularly important for her both on the training and private. It has helped her to be able to have the sprint as a goal that has received the mind away from grief.
Eide says it is not yet completely have gone up for her that she is the world cup-medaljør.
I don’t really know what has happened and I’m still in a way where I don’t realize what has happened with Ida either, so I think that when you get some time with you and had thought you about again, so I think that it’s going to be quite emotional.
Slams back against Northug don’t Know the way forward
With the world cup sprint behind them is Owned now unsure on what the next time brings. There is still grief to be after his sister’s tragic death. Eide admits that she is not looking forward to the next few months.
– the Time as come dread I me a little. Now that day is here I have been working for throughout the fall of. I have thought a lot about after the world cup and, I’m going to take me a little time and think over all that has happened and be a little honest with myself and maybe give me a little time to the spring and think a little more on the grief again, ” she says.
It does that Eide did not want to think on skikarrieren furthermore, right after that the highlight so far in his career is achieved. Questions about the next season she says cash:
I don’t know and that I will not answer now.
– it Could be that you put up after this season?
I doubt a bit on it, but I have to be a little honest with myself. There is much that I have pushed a little to the side. It is not many months since this happened. I have to take the time and think a little.
