Therese Johaug Rolls Eyes After Defeat – Gives Herself a One Out of Six

Therese Johaug rolls her eyes after a disappointing performance in a race – she scores herself a one out of six.

Johaug was shaken by the fall of competitor Simen Hegstad Krüger on Saturday. Now, she believes the Olympic organizers should consider altering the race course.

Therese Johaug expressed her frustrations about the conditions during the race after noticing multiple skiers struggling, including a significant fall by Krüger that impacted his overall performance.

"I drove like a crow; as an expert, I'd give it a one. But it was enough to win," Johaug commented following her victory in the mass start event. Despite winning by a considerable margin, she acknowledged she didn't skate competitively due to the treacherous conditions.

Johaug firmly stands behind the idea that the organizers need to make adjustments for the upcoming events, saying, "It was incredibly tough to navigate downwards." The event ended on a positive note for her as she prepares for the crucial leg of the Tour de Ski this Sunday.

The race is expected to feature a challenging climb in Alpe Cermis, a 3.6 km ascent where Johaug holds a good lead going into the finale.
