Kläbo on Johaug's Return: A Welcome Challenge

Johannes Hösflot Kläbo has expressed his views on Therese Johaug’s highly anticipated comeback to competitive skiing. Now 36, Johaug is gearing up for a return, aiming to compete in the upcoming World Championships in Norway.

Kläbo remarked, "First and foremost, I am glad that she is not competing in the men's class. Facing her in a 50km race would have been tough," underscoring the formidable competition that Johaug brings to the sport.

He also conveyed his enthusiasm for her return, stating, "I'm glad she is back. We will see how she performs at the World Championships, but there is no doubt that she intends to race fast."

As one of the premier male athletes in cross-country skiing, Kläbo acknowledges the potential impact of Johaug's re-entry into the sport and eagerly anticipates her performance in the upcoming events.
