The former Queen of Cross Country, Therese Juhaug, received the news of her death with sadness.
– In most cases it goes well, but what happened is incredibly tragic. She feels for her teammates, coaches, support staff, and everyone around her, Juhuge tells TV 2.
– It’s a bit like a bike: you’re traveling on roads with traffic. Accidents also happen if you sit in a car, but what happened is simply unimaginably tragic. It really broke my heart when I know how many hours of training I get to spend on busy roads.
Should there be stricter rules about where you can and where you can’t snowboard?
Accidents happen no matter where you are in the world. This is just so tragic.
