Team Norway Comments On 4x10K Relay

He thought that it was fine that Tore Ruud Hofstad decided the relay as early as he did.

-I was a little surprised because I hadn’t thought that he would get a gap before getting into the stadium, I wasn’t quite prepared for it. But it was nice to not have to have a pulse of 160 at the finish, says Estil laughingly.

He has then managed to reach his goal of two medals at the Championships and he still has the 50km ahead of him.

-So now I can go without any real pressure, and that is a good start. I want a medal in that event too and I have to good chance. But I have to have as good skies as today and be in as good of shape, says Estil.
