Johan Esk: the width is behind the world CHAMPIONSHIPS gold medal

In the finish hung everything on the Maja Dahlqvist.

if Only she could be sure that this year's ski world CUP stops that feel like a shit world CUP for Sweden.

After a skandalvideo, diseases, stavbrott and the case for Sweden was 24-year-old Dahlqvist in their first championship arrived at the finish where it would be decided if Sweden take the gold in this championship.

the Chance of sprintstafett it was by far the biggest and best of the modes that were left.

Lampic and Norwegian Fall was hard but this time there was no guldfall.

this time had Dahlqvist in the curve as of last Thursday, destroyed everything, now instead, got a perfect position behind Norway.

She had been cold. Maja was even colder when the rioting began, and there was not a trace to her.

And then she was red hot and rock-solid. Dahlqvist has marked from Falling earlier in the winter. Now sprinted she straight into Stina Nilsson guldkram on the other side of the finish line.

so many far forward in the guldjakten that they got tangled up and destroyed for each other.

Sunday gave the width a gold as expected.

It is eight years ago Sweden took the world CUP gold in the sprint.

the Swedish women's strong sprintbredd has built an impressive foundation and, on that basis, there has been a peak that has become the sharpest of all in the world.

Conditions for women in the Swedish sprintlaget is like this:

You get the perfect sparring. Are you in the pace during the union trainings so are you guaranteed with against the best in the world.

framgångsvågen itself. Do you have a bad day of competition ends up focusing on someone who had a successful.

Are you not good enough, you may not be in the squad. You are not in good enough shape, you may not start in the races.

Jonna Sundling, Hanna Falk and Ida Ingemarsdotter would have been given in all of the other teams in addition to the Norwegian. No one in the trio platsade in the Swedish guldduon.

this is an environment that is both thinning and develops. As it is in the Swedish women's team in the sprint, so, Norway has it all skidlandslag.

To take a place where may be more difficult than to take a good result against the best in the world.

Maja Dahlqvist was second in Dresden in 2018 and one in sprintstafetten in the same place together with the Ingemarsdotter day after.

It was not enough to get to go to the OLYMPICS last winter.

It wasn't enough to get a spot in the A-national team ahead of this.

But the B-national team that is sponsored by the Bauhaus exercise together with the A-national team, and Maja has been talking about how much it has meant. In the winter competitions have Maja Dahlqvist in the shadow of Stina Nilsson shown what a great step she had taken.

Seven times on the podium. Two times winner, both in sprintstafett – with two different skaters.

together, stood on the starting line in the finals it was Sweden's largest guldchans in the entire world CUP.

And there were two different comebacker behind the gold.

Stina Nilsson came back after a season that consisted of many victories, a severe injury and tough rehabperiod to even have time to be okay for the world CUP.

Maja Dahlqvist came back after the case, which burned guldchanserna in Thursday's sprint. She stood up, broke down, came again and secured the gold.

let Stina Nilsson run was far from obvious given the competition and the damage. The rupture she had in the thigh would in the classic skiing to be exposed to greater strain than in Thursday's freestyle.

A Nilsson in normal form probably had a cracked field in the sprintstafetten. Now it was so crowded and tight that it is not even felt, given that it would become a Swedish medal when Maja Dahlqvist went out on the last leg.

1.272 metres later, Sweden had cracked guldnollan Sweden had through the entire world CHAMPIONSHIPS in Lahti 2017.

: In the herrloppet was Oskar Svensson on the way to becoming as big a hero as Maja Dahlqvist.

on Saturday he had torn in three heavy miles. Early on Sunday, he was told:

– Victor Thorn is sick. You are going to run.

Oskar sent out Calle Halfvarsson in the lead on the last leg. Calle did a long time everything right. At the top before the second-to-last utförskörningen he was with the group on the crest and stopped.

Calle made sure to keep track of when the Norges Kläbo stack. But then already had the Russian Bolsjunov jerked and got a gap that Sweden could not fill. That Calle then got beaten up by the Italian Pellegrino in the bronze bout was to be expected.

the Norwegians are impressed by Frida Karlsson
