Vermeulen not present
Cross-country skiing: Johaug dominates, Stadlober disappoints
The victory in the women's cross-country skiathlon at the World Cup in Lillehammer went to star Therese Johaug, who returned after two years away. The 36-year-old Norwegian was untouchable over 10 km classic and 10 km freestyle, winning by 42.6 seconds ahead of compatriot Heidi Weng. Teresa Stadlober clearly missed out on the top spot she had hoped for and also failed to finish in the top ten in 16th place (+2:45.1).
The second Austrian to celebrate her World Cup debut this weekend was Katharina Brudermann in 41st place (+6:25.4). In her second race after 27th place, she once again scored World Cup points.
Vermeulen forgoes the start
In the men's race, the somewhat chilled Mika Vermeulen decided not to compete. The Norwegians celebrated a quadruple victory, led by Harald Östberg Amundsen, who took his second win of the season. Top star Johannes Hösflot Kläbo only finished eighth.
"Unfortunately, I got a cough during the day and haven't felt at my best for the last few days," said Vermeulen, who has recently finished in the top ten three times. The Norwegian by choice now wants to train well and focus fully on the Tour de Ski. "My aim is to win races and compete for podiums, so I have to be one hundred percent fit."
