Skistad and Falla smoked out of the prologue – Tiril Udnes Weng fastest

The twin sisters Tiril and Lotta Udnes Weng were the strongest among the Norwegians. Tiril was second fastest of all, just behind Slovenian Eva Urevc.

She brings her sister Lotta, Mathilde Myhrvold and Ane Appelkvist Stenseth to the knockout rounds.

Falla is far from top form and just failed to qualify. She finished 0.8 seconds behind Swedish Victoria Carl, who was the last of 30 to qualify.

Skistad, who had hopes of fighting for an Olympic place on the Norwegian team, also failed to qualify and had a very disappointing day.

– It was so tough. I stood firm from the first meter. I have never had such a tough body on a prologue, Skistad told TV 2 after the prologue.

She now considers the chances of being taken out to the Olympics virtually gone.

– I think that is very depreciated, said Skistad.
