Sprint World Cup winner Marit Bjorgen dominated a small women's field and won by almost 4 minutes to Kine Beate Bjornas in a 24-kilometer rollerski race in Budal Norway last weekend. Stig Rune Kveen crushed a strong men's field including national team skiers Eldar Ronning, Frode Estil and John Kristian Dahl. Kveen was 1.02 ahead of Dahl while Estil was third, 27 seconds behind Dahl. Krister Trondsen was back from his recent crash with a sheep and ended up in fifth.
