Expressen was waiting for Weng on Sunday in the media area. When he arrived at the interview point, the newspaper asked to make sure that the real Weng was standing in front of him.
– Yes, I’m Tiril. I haven’t given my silver medal to Lota. That’s the limit!
Weng’s sisters admitted that they have done the same thing before. Tiril Weng also hints that fogging may continue.
– It is easy. I might as well have sent Lota here. You wouldn’t have noticed it, the silver medalist said Nettavinen in the interview.
