The thriller around the large crystal ball comes to a head. But the relationship between the rivals remains perfect.
Franziska Preuß and Lou JeanMonnot clapped friendly, the rivals for victory in the overall World Cup congratulated each other on a great sprint on the Holmenkollen. Despite the competitive situation, the relationship is “totally relaxed,” emphasized Preuss in the ARD: “We treat it to both of us, but none wants to give in small. We make life difficult for each other. We try to do their best, so we continue on the weekend.”
At the start of the World Cup final, Pruss had won two tenths of a second in front of her great rival and expanded the lead to 35 points. “I tried to enjoy because it might be the last time in yellow. But luckily it wasn’t the last time,” said the 31 -year -old: “I went in from the Mindset like the World Cup – either top or flop. I wanted to take a good race for myself. I am mega relieved that it did.”
JeanMonnot struggled with her defeat in the second thriller. “I knew the times, I was informed. I gave everything, but I am not entirely happy. These little two tenths. Unfortunately, this is important because it makes many points difference.” It was “in aggressive mode” and “on attack”. You could “not wait” to reciprocate on Sunday (3:50 p.m.) and mass start on Sunday (1:15 p.m./ARD and Eurosport). The race remains exciting.
