    SPRINT SUPPORT
    She gets frustrated when people challenge the sprint discipline of cross-country skiing, "I am provoked by the fact that many people do not see us as cross-country skiers. For me sprint is even tougher than the longer distances. We are at the stadium for many hours. It is mentally tougher. And we train just as hard." (rb.no, 30 Dec 2012)
