Steira forced to stop.
In the newspaper today: The norwegian womens new trainer forced Steira to
reduce the speed in order to help Bjørgen win the world cup. In my opinion, it would have been better if she had continued on full speed, giving herself a chance to win and a possibility that Scott would hit the wall. I didn't think that trainers could order the skiers not to win; that is bad sportsmanship and unjust. Do not listen to the trainers in such cases, and chose another trainer. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes |

Well, if the action pays for next season's training and travelling...
For me it would depend on the race, and my own carreer. A certain first WC win in the last race for a arting sponsor, I'd not easy "sell". New sponsor, good pay...it's not sportive, but there will be other races. Knowing I can win was always as good as the winning itself. I look at my level, not just my results. I sport for myself, not the audience. Did the trainer discuss it in advance, or did he come up with the idea during the race itself, when Steira was doing better than anticipated, perhaps?

Team strategies are not unheard of in cross country skiing and they
are, of course, an essential part of cycling. |

Did Steira have a real chance at overtaking Scott? |

Bjørgen was 4th, I think she must have been outside the top 10 to drop the title. On NRK the coach said that they had discussed tactics before the race, making sureBjørgen retained the cup which she had lead the entire season was priority 1. Steira was welcome to try to win, but not to do all the work for Scott, trying to pull ahead. Terje -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

It was discussed the evening before, and the trainer had said that the most importent thing was for Bjørgen to win the world cup. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes "Terje Henriksen" schreef in bericht ...

Finnmarken, local area newspaper form the area where Steira has grown up. Maybe you can find it on the internet. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes |

If the coach had told Steira outright during a leg of the race, Don't win the race, that is outrageous, but it doesn't sound like that is the case. Steira came in just 1.80sec behind Scott, so it does look like Steira gave it her best at the finish line. |

Two places down, 9.3 seconds on the finish list would have changed the
final results (-20 points).
