March 17, 2013 (Oslo, Norway) – Norway’s queen skier, Marit Bjoergen, is not on the start line for the women’s 30km FR at the Holmenkollen this morning where surely fans are disappointed at her no-show. She made a last minute decision not race as she’s still not over her cold and wants to be ready for Falun. This leaves the door open for other top Norwegian skiers like Therese Johaug and Heidi Weng who would love to win at home. Justyna Kowalcyzk (POL) will surely be in the hunt and look for the USA’s Liz Stephen to put in strong showing today.
