The judgment in the case of Johaug aroused a lot of controversy, after all, she is one of the best players in the world. Individually, she won 10 gold medals in the world championships, and has 79 world cup victories.
Johaug returned to sport in April 2018. -I cried for many days and nights, I survived an extremely difficult time. The most important thing is that I succeeded, she recalled then.
The gold in Beijing is also admirable, because the Norwegian has dominated the competition. Johaug crossed the finish line with a time of 44: 13.7 seconds, finishing in 30.2 seconds. in front of Natalia Nepryaeva of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). The third place was taken by Teresa Stadlober from Austria (time 44: 44.2). Izabela Marcisz arrived on the 16th.
