NOVE MESTO. Celebrated in Norway, but seen in SVT.
Now Karoline Knotten strikes back against Björn Ferry.
– I don’t know what he means, she tells Sportbladet.
Karoline Knotten made a super stretch when Norway took WC silver in the mixed relay. She was one of the few who shot completely flawlessly and is now celebrated in her home country.
“A huge stretch of Knotten”write The daily newspaper.
“Brilliant effort”write Eurosport.
But it was an incident that caused SVT’s expert Björn Ferry to jump in.
“Just bad”
In the middle of a downhill, the 29-year-old chose to stand up in a straight line instead of staying at speed and gaining maximum speed down the hill.

– She stands up and wipes her nose. You shouldn’t stand up there, that’s just bad. Hello! It is a hill that is almost straight, Ferry said in SVT’s broadcast.
“Afraid of falling”
When Sportbladet asks Knotten to respond to the play, some confusion arises.
– Huh? No, I didn’t wipe my nose. I stood up because I was afraid of falling. That was my only focus.
So you stood up to keep the balance?
– Yes, keeping my balance and making sure I didn’t get anything in my eye. I didn’t even think about it. I don’t know what he means. It went well though…
France won the mixed medley relay ahead of Norway and Sweden, thus ending Norway’s streak of five straight golds.
But they weren’t depressed about it.
– We won a silver today, says Knotten.
