In 2010, Norway took Olympic gold in the relay, lost in 2014 and finished fifth, but regained the throne in the 2018 Olympics.
- We have a weaker team than in many years.
Marit Björgen is gone, we can not use Ingvild Flugstad Östberg and Helene Marie Fossesholm is unsure.
She has not found top form and has not responded normally in several months, says NRK expert Torgeir Björn to VG.
"Sees the beginning of the end"
He further believes that Tiril Udnes Weng can be the skier who gets to start for the team.
Who will finish is TV2 expert Petter Soleng Skinstad sure - Heidi Weng.
- Heidi is by far the best finisher in Norway.
It's about self-confidence.
Fossesholm is an uncertain card.
It's smoother than in many years and it's not right to put Helene in the anchor position now.
In the World Cup in Lillehammer the first weekend in December, Russia won before Sweden and Norway came third.
- We must realize things.
We see the beginning of the end of Norwegian dominance on the women's side.
Marit and Astrid (Uhrenholdt Jacobsen) have left.
Ragnhild (Haga) does not work.
Maiken (Caspersen Falla) sings the last verse.
After the Olympics and the World Cup, the abnormally good results the Norwegian ladies have had in the last 10-12 years may be over, says Skinstad.
