three gold medals in as many races, with an overwhelming domination who has made a fool of the home crowd: thanks to a perfect performance, Marit Bjoergen also won the 10 km classic technique in front of the usual rival Justyna Kowalczyk. Norway's back up to half of the race, took advantage of the same desire to overdo the Polish, which has pushed too hard in the first half before lowering the rate in the last two kilometers. The bronze went to another specialist in the time walking, Aino Kaisa Saarinen from Finland, separated by only 9 seconds thanks to a resounding end. Bjoergen and Kowalczyk arrived at the finish line exhausted and had to be rescued. Marianna Longa

"I am happy - Said after the race's silver two years ago - I took only 30 seconds from Bjoergen are others that have been stronger than me, patiently. "34th Virginia De Martin.
