The previous World Cup season, 2019, Johaug earned around 10 million Norwegian kroner according to VG.
But when the competitions this season, due to the corona pandemic, have become fewer, so have the cash checks.
- Overall, Therese earns significantly less than before, because she has barely ridden this season.
Bonuses and everything will be much smaller than before, says Jörn Ernst to VG.
The Norwegian national ski team chose to stand over several World Cup competitions and the Tour de Ski earlier in the season due to the corona pandemic.
"Less than half"
So far, 32-year-old Johaug has a gold from the WC in Oberstorf.
On Tuesday, she gets a chance at another when it's time for 10 kilometers freestyle.
If she continues to pick victories as she has done in recent years, she will still earn much less than she did in 2019.
- She earns less than half this season.
We do not know exactly what it will be, because we do not know how many ski races there will be after the World Cup.
But less than half, maybe more, says Ernst.
However, there does not seem to be any need for Johaug.
In addition to the prize money, the Norwegian earns a lot from sponsorship agreements and his own clothing brand, among other things.
According to the manager, Johaug has several new agreements that will be presented after the championship.
