Therese Johaug dominates at the World Cup: Austria's women with mixed feelings!

In the area of ​​tension of the cross-country world cup in Lillehammer, the Norwegian legend Therese Johaug celebrated its superior victory in the women's skiathlon. The 36-year-old athlete, who has returned after two years of absence, prevailed with an impressive time of 42.6 seconds against her compatriot Heidi Weng. Austria's Teresa Stadlober, who could not meet the expectations, landed in the 16th place with a gap of 2: 45.1 minutes, as krone.at reported. The debutante Katharina Brudermann also appeared by taking 41st place and thus collecting her first World Cup points.

Disappointment for Vermeulen

Mika had to do without Vermeulen for health reasons after having not felt completely fit. The 25-year-old Styrian had previously reached an respectable 8th place in the 10 km skating race, but he was dissatisfied with his result because he had cut better in the last competitions. This information comes from a report by Sn.at . Vermeulen will compete in the sprint on Saturday and on Sunday in the skiathlon, where he hopes for a turn of his performance. He expressed: "In the skiathlon, the cards are mixed again, so we hope the best."

The Norwegian athletes dominated the men's race with a remarkable four-time victory, while the reigning Star Johannes Hösflot Kläbo only reached 8th place. The competition thus offers a lot of reason for speculation about the further form of Austrian cross -country skiers and the possibilities that they could have in upcoming races.
