TSK cheated
A hundred years ago today, Oscar Mathisen was having a weekend off after a lot of tiresome travelling and strenuous skating. No doubt he relished giving his swollen face some time to heal after its adventure with the iron post in Davos, and Trondhjems Skøiteklub, the organisers of this weekend’s meet somewhat grudgingly had to accept his brother and their own Martin Sæterhaug as the main guests at their welcome party.
But neither of them were to play the main role in this Saturday’s 5000 m, skated under somewhat suboptimal, but not extreme weather conditions, as the promising Finnekamp-debutant Magnus Johansen won it in 9.23,2. Full results:
1.Magnus Johansen.KSK 9.23,2
