Weltmeisterschaften in Oslo An den Weltmeisterschaften am legendären Holmenkollen, im Land des Skilanglaufs, dabei zu sein, war das angestrebte Saisonziel. Und es war ein aussergewöhnliches Erlebnis vor dieser Publikumskulisse zu laufen. Auf Grund der Resultate, die ich im Januar im COC-Cup in Oberwiesenthal sowie am WC in Otepää had achieved and the rising form curve, I was selected for the ten-kilometer classical at the World Championships in Oslo. The selection criteria I have done in the classic sprint, but I got the chance to confirm the distance.
My goal over the ten-kilometer classic was a rank among the top 30 With the 33 Level I missed that target by ten seconds. But I am satisfied with my race. The round, which takes over ten kilometers, was very demanding. I quickly found a good rhythm. Between three and five kilometers, where it rises again, but I had some trouble and lost time. This was followed by a long downhill, where I am somewhat could recover and finally again make up for some time. I had good stuff and my feeling was much better than it was a week before the World Cup in Drammen / NOR.
It was not exploit, nor a flop. It was a solid race I delivers. The residue of 2.45 minutes is within the scope of what I showed during the season until now. Over the distance I had been concerned in recent years, especially in the last season, more residue. I, too, was each time further away from the Top30. Consequently, I have noted some progress over the distance competitions. Although it is only a little progress, for me it's a great motivation for the next season.
motivation was the audience who cheered us and the atmosphere during the race unique. These enthusiastic people who are at the edge of the track, make this big world championships a highlight!
Have fun and a good time, Doris
