“There’s a very endured the situation, what happened to her, the enemy does not want. I’m sure 80% of other athletes, including leaders in her place would be broken. I believe Teresa”, — quotes the words of Mediaeval TASS.
She noted that while it did not oppose the 30-year-old Norwegians, but hopes that next season will be able to make it competitive.
“Of course she would not give her. It’s great to have the person you’re trying to reach and that motivates you to be better,” added the 23-year-old Russian.
Johaug was suspended for 1.5 years for violating anti-doping rules. According to Norway, the prohibited substance got into her body with ointment for the lips.
Earlier Johaug said that will not be able to repeat the record of Elena Vyalbe number of gold medals at a single world Cup.
