National Team Chief: "We Stole All Golds from Norway - But it Was Fair"

The national team chief expressed disbelief at the achievement of the Swedish women's team, who dominated the championships by winning every gold medal available. Frida Karlsson's triumph in the 50 km race marked the culmination of their success, leaving the Norwegian team, particularly Therese Johaug, without any gold to show for their efforts. Byström acknowledged Johaug's comeback but felt that the outcome was just, saying, "We stole all gold from Norway, but it was fair."
The victory is seen as a historic moment for Swedish cross-country skiing, showcasing the remarkable talent and dedication within their ranks. As the team celebrates, it is clear that they have set a new benchmark in the sport, leaving an indelible mark at this year's World Championships.
