Unfortunately, the Finnish skier had to suffer from a traffic jam.
Kerttu Niskanen regretted his fate in the quarterfinals. Jussi Saarinen
There was enough hustle and bustle in the sprint. The cross-country skiing world cup can be watched on Elisa Viihde Viaplay and v Sport channels.
Kerttu Niskanen regretted his fate in Les Roussess, France, in the traditional sprint. The accusing finger pointed at the Norwegian camp.
Niskanen led his own heat, but in the descent, two competing sisters got ahead. In the end, the Finn finished fifth in his heat, missing out on a place in the semi-finals.
The reason for the low score was revealed in the interview after the performance.
– On a gentle downhill, two girls got ahead. I drifted in and Lotta (Weng) would pull in front of me. I had to brake, and when the others came at a good speed, it ruined my race, Niskanen regretted
“Lotta” or Weng swept to the set win. In the semifinals, the Norwegian’s speed was enough in the set stage instead of fourth, so the place in the final remained a dream.
Norway skied to victory Kristine Skistad before Sweden Emma Ribomia and Maja Dahlqvist.
