Ruka

Rukalla was almost 20 degrees below zero during the women’s race in the afternoon, and Karlsson lamented his numb fingers at the finish.
He received help from, among others, the fifth-place finisher Krista Pärmäkoski, who said he had given the Swede two disposable heat bags to fit inside the gloves.
“He was super kind,” Karlsson praised Pärmäkoski, according to Aftonbladet.
“I now have thermal bags in my shoes. I also pulled them on my sleeves, but when I saw Frida’s fingers freeze, I tore them in his hands. He was grateful, ”Pärmäkoski told Finnish journalists.
In Pärmäkoski’s opinion, Karlsson’s victory does “good for the sport”.
“In the warm-up and ski tests, I said that Johaug’s skiing didn’t look that good. Yes, you can only see it technically. It wasn’t the best Johaug yet, but he’s still improving, ”Pärmäkoski said of his observations with a friend who had worked as a ski tester. Maaret Pajunojan with.
Yeast water admitted that Germany ranked third and lost to Johaug for only 1.5 seconds Katharina Hennigin the performance came as a surprise to him.
He was pleased with his own performance. The loss to the winner was just under half a minute.
