Charlotte Kalla is single. May 14, — Vacation is over for the Swedish Cross-Country squad. The team travelled to Spain to gather at the first joint training camp in the off-season. Monte Gordo is indeed a tourist paradise, but the place is also ideal training base for skiers during the summer months.

Between training sessions, the head coach is working on putting together all the pieces of the Cross-Country team to gain success both in short and long term. The following years will be filled with hard battles at the World Championships in Val di Fiemme, in at the Olympics in Sochi, and finally in at the home World Championships in Falun.

Both Swedish coaches are convinced that the training camp in Monte Gordo will do the team good. On the flip side World Cup Sprint leader, American Kikkan Randall, had to deal with a topsy-turvey day as she qualified strong in 5th just behind Bjoergen only to meet disaster in her quarter final finishing 5th and was out early in the match. Jacobsen and Majdic were 3rd and 4th in the semi won by Bjoergen in a photo-finish over Follis.

In final they both advanced one spot as Jacobsen claimed the silver and Majdic the bronze. The final series outcome will be decided on a shorter classic sprint in Stockholm, Sweden on Mar.

The Lahti sprint course is one of the toughest on the circuit starting with a grueling uphill climb followed by a bit of downhill relief leading to a second smaller climb and then a fast dowhill with a challenging final right hand turn dropping skiers into the chute into the stadium to the finish. Randall, who began slipping after a strong start in the quarterfinal, could not keep pace and fell back to finish fifth.

We think that perhaps my skis picked up some ice along the way that slowed them down. Randall concurred that the Lahti course is long and tough. The qualification times were over that tells you something. While her skis were great in the qualifier, they were not as competitive in the heats. The US team heads to Stockholm on Monday and begins their final preparation for the remaining four WCup events in the series. Qualifications HERE. In total she blazed the course in and is the nemesis of Polish star, Justyna Kowalczyk, who was 3.

Bjoergen commented that she could see from the first skate downhill that she had faster skis than her Polish shadow. Thus made this part of her tactic in the second half, initiating her attack with just under one kilometre to go on the climb before entering the stadium.

Her teammate Therese Johaug had a stellar race taking the bronze at 8. Holly Brooks was next in 25th at The lone Canadian skier, Brooke Gosling was 51st and seven minutes behind. American xc head coach Chris Gover was more than pleased as the team coped with unexpected deep snow, and promising results for the future.

A great race for Liz. A second day in the top result for Jessie. Veteran Stephen agreed. The race was really fun and the tracks were super fast — I had awesome skis today, both for the classic leg and the skate. I was able to ski hard, but relaxed and hang on to the pack enough so I could be in the mix with the skate race and go out feeling strong with a goal to catch as many people as possible. I skied a pretty strong skate leg, and feel like today was a really good tune up for the rest of the week.

Diggins continued to perform after being called up from the junior ranks following her seventh place result in the 5km skate at the Junior Worlds with as fast or faster times than many seniors. I dropped the bottle the first time around and gave myself a Gatorade face-wash the second. How embarrassing! It was a good day! The past weekend at the WCup in Drammen I had a rough start in my weakest disciplines after not having raced in over a month.

That was extra motivation to ski fast! It was super fun to be skiing with the skier who took the silver medal only two days before in the sprint and I hope our momentum carries through to the guys on Sunday!

Despite the fog, the crowd was fantastic. Arritola felt the stress of competition. I just have to figure some things out and get ready for the 30km.

We used to dream of one result in the top 30 and now we got three in. Jessie skied an impressive race, not afraid to go up and ski with some fast girls. I am really excited for the future of this group. The door has been opened on what is possible and we want more of it! This is a tough place to cut your teeth for your first high level racing in Europe. Brooke showed some guts out there on the skating leg today, so I look for better things to come from her as the championships continue.

But not everyone was happy about that situation. Kowalczyk noted that on four different occasions Johaug blocked her from chasing Bjoergen. Johaug denied trying to block Kowalczyk and Bjoergen said she had no knowledge of it — as all had taken place behind her, but she was sure Johaug would not do that. Then I knew I had very good skis [in the skate leg] and Therese was in front; I wanted to be behind, because I knew I had better skis than Kowalczyk. The reason for that is a tv feature on Expressen TV, where Kalla shows a strong reaction when she sees how animals are treated in the Olympics host country.

She was brave enough to watch the video and to speak about it in the media. When an athlete like Charlotte Kalla says something and shows that kind of reaction, people are listening. That takes courage. Dog meat is a big industry in South Korea. There are more than 17, farms where more than 2. The meat is used to make food, especially during the summer, but is also used in alternative health food. The conditions on the dog meat farms have received tremendous criticism lately.
