LILLEHAMMER (Dagbladet): She had to wipe away a few tears on Tuesday, Maren Lundby (26). She was first described as the Norwegian ski jumper of all time by sports manager Clas Brede Bråthen. Then she – finally, six months after the end of the season – received the trophy that proves that she was the world’s best ski jumper in the 2019/2020 season.
The original was smashed in the mail, and FIS had to make a new one.
– Yes, say it, says Maren Lundby when Dagbladet asks if she can put her tears into words.
– It is difficult. Everyone who has made this possible, with whom I associate every single day, is gathered here. Not least the partners who put in a lot so that we can keep up with this. I notice that I appreciate them so much. I love this gang, says Lundby.
Lundby has got a jumper’s knee
Takes the signals now
Dagbladet meets Lundby in the middle of a small training break. The world’s best ski jumper has been given a so-called “jumper’s knee”, a problem that has been murmuring beneath the surface for a while.
After a solid training summer, it may simply be that it was a little too much for the knee. Therefore, it is good to have a break.
But Lundby is anything but worried.
– The knee is pretty good, I would really say. The symptoms have been there for a while, then it has become “slightly” worse, says Lundby.
Back to work: – Horrified me
She emphasizes that she does not see it as a challenge for the coming season.
– But I have to take the signals now so that I get better. I think the most important thing is that I can calm it down. I’m not worried. It would be worse if the knee gets worse and I have to stand over competitions, says the 26-year-old.
