Press conference comments:
Neumannova (of the Czech Republic) won by 21 seconds and was surprised that Marit Bjorgen didn’t challenge her victory and said that this proves that Bjorgen isn’t a machine.
Neumannova showed that she is getting in shape and crushed the competition today. She was most surprised that Bjorgen wasn’t better than fourth.
– I had expected that she would win, but she isn’t a machine. I still feel that she appears incredibly strong, said Neumannova. She didn’t dare to believe that she had won before the last starting Bjorgen had crossed the finish line a little more than thirty seconds too late.
 and that I’m loosing on the technical part. I’m stressing a bit too much and loosing time in the easier sections. That has nothing to do with my shape, said Bjorgen. </p><p><BR><center><img src=)
Bjorgen
She felt it is good to be beaten now and then.
— I had the feeling that I wouldn’t win today and it’s good to be beaten. Now I need to go home and train at what I’m not good at, said Bjorgen.
