Johannes Hösflot Kläbo had a great weekend in Falun.
On Friday he came seventh in the 15 km classic and on Saturday he was second in the 15 km freestyle.
Then the Norwegian won the sprint.
Take it with a smile
The second place in the 15 km freestyle is his best record ever.
Despite this, the after-talk was about how long after he was Alexander Bolshunov.
NRK asked Kläbo if he receives many critical questions - and the Norwegian believes that the requirements in certain distances are unreasonable.
- I always have to stand up and defend myself.
It is expected that I will be on the podium, no matter what distance I travel.
It's like that in a 15 kilometer freestyle, even though I've never been close to the podium - and then I'm slaughtered.
But I take it with a smile, says Kläbo to NRK.
"You can write what you want"
He does not get annoyed during the interview.
He stands and smiles when NRK asks his questions.
- You should be allowed to write what you want.
I do the best I can, I can do no more.
At the same time, I put pressure on myself.
But I do not go around thinking that other people think I should have won or headlines like "crushed by Bolshunov".
