This chilly day in Ruka, Finland, must have created a lot of thoughts for ski queen Therese Johaug. This was the first time since March 8, 2015 that she lost a race in classic style with individual start. And she did it against a Frida Karlsson who clearly signaled that it was part of her Olympic plan, where everything is now going as planned.
Certainly a stressful message in Therese Johaug’s hunt for her first individual Olympic gold.
