Martin Johnsrud Sundby won by over a minute, Petter Northug was _way_
back, in 40th place.

Since Musgrave is British he won't be getting the silver medal though.

This meant that Thomas Alsgaard (40) today combined his job as NRKs
expert commentator with a bronze medal in the champs, even though Ronny
Fredrik Ansnes who started one minute in front of Sundby and hung on for
a large part of the race beat him by 0.8 second for the 3rd place.

Things seem to be clicking in for him, and he's only 21 or so.
Amazing.

He did grow up (from 5 to 9 years old or something like that) in Norway.
He speaks excellent norwegian. :-)

He did another great race today, coming 5th (?) on the 15+15
classic+skate competition.

In the relay tomorrow he will ski on the same team as Johnsrud Sundby,
the problem is that their third guy is their wax technician.

(He lost 2 min on his leg last year, but claims to be better this time!)
