Høsflot Klæbo took the Norwegian gold with a superb race, but took the time to honor partner Valnes after the race.
Discovery said seeing what Eric (Valence) was doing in the last round made me feel nothing but motivated, the contenders looked like little boys.
– Do you actually mean that Valens makes Niskanin and Bolshunov look like little boys?
– I do already. Especially when you see how he was doing in the last round. Klæbo told Dagbladet that he is very impressed today.
Describing Niskanin and Bolshunov as “little boys” did not get along well with Russian coach Yuri Borodavko.

– I didn’t like what he said after the sprint. Johannes (Høsflot Klæbo) spoke disrespectfully about two great cross-country skiers – Bolshunov and Niskanen. Calling them little boys compared to Valence only shows that the man is starting to get greedy. Coach says he’s not wearing that.

– His ears were kicked by those boys in all the distance races, and then he said such things…
Dagbladet attempted to contact Johannes Høsflot Klæbo for comment through his father, Haakon. He has not yet responded to our inquiries.
