CROSS‑COUNTRY SKIING

Norwegian gesture after the finish: "I have nothing to say"

Norway took the women's cross‑country relay title at the Olympics after a nightmare leg from Sweden's Ebba Andersson. The Norwegian team secured the victory despite the drama on the course, and the win was overshadowed in part by moments of high emotion.

After the finish, Norwegian Heidi Weng gave a small, noticeable gesture. She turned around and put her hand to her forehead, as if looking out for the next skier. The action drew attention in the mixed reactions that followed Sweden's difficult race and Norway's gold.

The piece focusses on that post‑race moment and the context around it: Norway's triumph in the women's relay at Milano‑Cortina 2026 and the struggles of Ebba Andersson during her leg. Radiosporten reports the scene and the reactions from the finish area.
