The second stop of the winter was the 2005/06 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup in Beitostølen, Norway on November 19 and 20, 2005. There were four races, two of each gender, of which the Norwegians won three. The fourth victory went to Germany.

Apron

After the sprint world cup in Düsseldorf, which took place at the end of October, it took four weeks before the next competitions, this time distance races, were held in Beitostølen . For the fourth time, cross-country skiing world cup races were to be held in the Norwegian winter sports resort; as in previous years in November, shortly after the Beito sprint , the traditional season opener for Norwegians. But ten days before the competitions on 19/20. November 2005 the organization was in danger because of the lack of snow - the Beito sprint had also been canceled. It was also too warm for the production of artificial snow. The northern Swedish communities of Gällivare and Kiruna have already been discussed as replacement locations . On November 10th, the FIS announced that the races would take place as planned, but that the track would only be released for training shortly before the competition, so that most of the teams - like the German one - planned a rather short-term journey. The 15-kilometer individual race in the classic technique on Saturday was also extended to five 3.2-kilometer laps (i.e. 16 kilometers), as the five-kilometer route, which was normally run three times, was not operational. Many difficult climbs were also omitted, so that the route particularly favored sprinters.

Race course

Men

Tor Arne Hetland won his first endurance race in Beitostølen

As in Düsseldorf, there were few prominent failures in the nominations for the individual race in Beitostølen, instead the Finn Jari Isometsä contested his first race after a doping ban. In the national group provided by the Norwegian team, some very successful cross-country skiers started, such as relay world champion Tore Ruud Hofstad or the sprinters Eldar Rønning and Tor Arne Hetland . A total of 82 athletes were at the start in the individual race, all of whom reached the finish.

Since the shortened lap in the 15-kilometer classic race was less hilly, the sprinters in particular surprised with good times. Tor Arne Hetland, who started with the number 8 as one of the first athletes, ran a clear best time after just one kilometer and held it to the finish. With Jens Arne Svartedal followed by another Norwegians to second place, third place went to Slovakia Ivan Bathory . This was the only win for Hetland in an individual race and the first ever in a distance competition. For Svartedal, who had a training deficit due to an accident in early summer, his second place came unexpectedly; Hetland's victory, on the other hand, was not, as he rated his team-mate as one of the best cross-country skiers. The winner himself, he said at the press conference after the race, had hoped to take over the yellow jersey with a good result, but he hadn't expected victory. Bátory, whose last podium result was four years ago, was also very satisfied with the race. He attributed the result to the fact that he had good skis and ran on the last laps with the Estonian Jaak Mae . The Germans Axel Teichmann and Tobias Angerer improved after a weak start in the late phase of the race and came in eighth and ninth. On the other hand, the worst Norwegian, Tore Ruud Hofstad, who was only 73rd, was disappointed. The route was too easy for him, and he also prefers to use the skating technique. Despite the bad performance, he was nominated for the favorite Norwegian season, which he even denied as the final runner. The eighteenth Reto Burgermeister was the only Swiss to make it into the points, none of the small Austrian team achieved a top 30 result.

For the relay race, which also took place on a shortened and simplified lap, most experts foresaw a triumph for the Norwegian team, whose members, with the exception of Tore Ruud Hofstad, were all in the top five in the individual. In fact, the favorites among the 18 seasons were all close together after the first change; it led Andreas Schlütter for Germany before the Finnish season with first runner Sami Jauhojärvi , Norway was in third place. After the second classic round, two Norwegian and one German relays formed the leading group, again Axel Teichmann handed over the lead. On the third lap the Czech Republic and Finland caught up again, so that the Finn Teemu Kattilakoski even switched to his compatriot Olli Ohtonen at the top . The last freestyle round brought the field even closer together, so that no preliminary decision was made until shortly before the finish. The Frenchman Vincent Vittoz only attacked on the last climb , Tobias Angerer went with him and finally took the lead for Germany. Due to the large lead he was able to take the German flag a few meters from the finish. After the surprise winner, Norway I also lost second place in the sprint against the French relay; the Swiss finished ninth, the Austrian team 16. Angerer himself stated that he “stayed cool” and “won the race according to the motto close your eyes and through ”. National coach Behle, rather dissatisfied with the result of the individual race, was also pleased.

After Beitostølen, Tor Arne Hetland took over the yellow jersey with a lead of 80 points. In addition to leading the overall World Cup, he also took the lead in the Distance World Cup. However, since the Norwegian had given the Olympic gold medal in the sprint as his goal, some media saw the danger that Hetland's goals for the Olympics and the overall World Cup would collide. The Norwegian replied to this question that he wanted to achieve both triumphs, especially since he could also train his form in the World Cup. Besides Hetland, only four other athletes managed to finish both races up to then in the points, including Tobias Angerer. In the Nations Cup, Norway took the lead, followed by Sweden, which was not very successful in Beitostølen, and Germany.

Women

Another double success for the Norwegian Marit Bjørgen , who also kept the yellow jersey

In the women’s category, the two best Canadians, Beckie Scott and Sara Renner, did not take part in the World Cup because they started in the Nor-Am Cup . Some of the sprinters, for example Natalja Matwejewa from Russia, did not start and thus lost some positions in the overall World Cup. In contrast, distance runners like Czech Kateřina Neumannová or Estonian Kristina Šmigun contested their first races of the season after they had not participated in the Düsseldorf sprints. For the Russian world class runner Julia Tschepalowa , the Beitostølen distance races marked the start of the season; she even had to assert herself internally in the Russian team. As in all competitions, the Norwegians were allowed to send an additional ten-person national group into the race as the host, so that they made up exactly a quarter of the field with 18 athletes. In the Finnish team, Riikka Sarasoja prevailed internally against Kaisa Varis , this nation, like Sweden and Germany, provided a total of five runners.

No athlete from the national group convinced, but Olga Rotschewa already set the first clear record with starting number 15 . Of the following athletes, the Swedes Anna Dahlberg and Ella Gjømle from Norway came 20 seconds behind, at least close to the best time; while Dahlberg stayed ahead in the overall World Cup, Gjømle achieved her best distance result with 17th place. Dahlberg's compatriot, Lina Andersson , who started in 46th position , managed to displace Rotschewa from the front by a good four seconds. Aino-Kaisa Saarinen from Finland , second from Düsseldorf, crossed the finish line eleven runners after Andersson and displaced the Swede by eight seconds. Starting the race with the number 61, Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle just missed the fastest time, but in seventh place she achieved the strongest result in the German team. More top runners crossed the finish line in quick succession, of which Virpi Kuitunen took the lead in front of Natalja Baranova and the 40-year-old Norwegian Hilde G. Pedersen . In contrast to Pedersen, her teammate Kristin Steira could not convince and ended up as 59th, beaten outside the points. Also Gabriella Paruzzi just missed the 31 World Cup one point; Claudia Künzel , fifth in the overall World Cup last year, achieved this goal in 25th place. Julia Tschepalowa, Kristina Šmigun and Kateřina Neumannová all achieved good results, but did not oust Kuitunen from the top. The only runner who managed to do this was again Marit Bjørgen , who dominated and even overtook Neumannová and Šmigun, who started half a minute or even a full minute before her. At the finish Bjørgen undercut Kuitunens best time by more than 20 seconds. The winner, who has already been dubbed “unbeatable” in the media, said the other athletes would get even stronger in the season and challenge them. However, she does not yet know which athletes would be able to do this. Another goal of the season was to win another skating race that winter.

Like the men's relay, the Norwegian women's relay was clearly favored. However, the race remained open for a long time; At the first change, the Norwegian starter Ella Gjømle even handed over in seventh place and thus last of the leading group with a small gap of six seconds. Nevertheless, the Norwegian national coach Svein Tore Samdal certified her a good race. In the lead, Lina Andersson handed over to her compatriot Elin Ek for Sweden . On the second classic round, too, little happened in the leading group, so that after 2 × 5 kilometers, seven teams were still at the top within ten seconds. Again the last of these teams was Norway, who lost a few seconds to Vibeke Skofterud . Although this repeated the scenario from the previous day, Skofterud said that she was in good shape and would soon get even stronger. The interim leadership had now taken over the Russia II season; The second Russian season - besides Norway, Russia was the only country with two teams - was very good in second place. In addition to the top nations, Switzerland was also in the first group, Seraina Mischol and Laurence Rochat had created a good starting position for the freestyle runners. Since the lead on eighth place was already more than 50 seconds, the relay hoped for the Olympic qualification, which would have been achieved with a seventh place. In the third round, however, Switzerland, like Sweden and Russia I, fell back from the top group, so that only four teams were running for the podium at the front. In addition, Hilde G. Pedersen had taken the lead for Norway for the first time; the strongest round, however, was Kateřina Neumannová for the Czech Republic, who brought her team into the top ten. In the last five kilometers, Marit Bjørgen set the fastest lap by far, pulled away from her pursuers and celebrated victory. On the last climb, Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle also attacked in a targeted manner and actually broke away from Finland and Russia, so that she came in second. Third place came a bit disappointing for the Finnish season, but head coach Ismo Hämäläinen also praised Marit Bjørgen for her performance. In the photo finish against Finland, the second Russian season missed the podium, but it was surprising that Russia II was one place ahead of Russia I. The last runner of the relay, which was actually rated higher, Julia Tschepalowa, had run a fast lap, but it was no longer enough to reconnect with the leading group. Almost a minute behind Russia I, Sweden and Italy crossed the finish line, followed by the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan and the second Norwegian relay. In eleventh place, Switzerland missed early qualification for the Olympic Games by ten seconds, but Seraina Mischol hoped that they would later succeed.

With her victory, Marit Bjørgen took the lead in the Distance World Cup, so that she was now leading in all three ratings. The two Finns Kuitunen and Saarinen were tied for second place in the overall World Cup, followed by Hilde G. Pedersen and Anna Dahlberg. Each of these five athletes had scored points in both of the individual races run up to that point. In the Nations Cup, Norway clearly retained the lead, having won all four women's competitions. Little happened in the front ranks, only Russia and Germany swapped places, now Russia was the first pursuer of the two leading nations Norway and Finland.

Overall ratings

These tables show the overall scores after the second World Cup station. The ten best athletes in the distance and sprint World Cups as well as the twenty best in the overall World Cup are shown. In the Change column, the tendency is displayed as to whether the athlete, in contrast to the World Cup status, has improved or deteriorated by ranks after the last station. At the first Distance World Cup, the comparison will be based on the previous year's ranking.

If the number of points is equal, the FIS rules stipulate that the athlete who has achieved the better top result is better placed in the overall classification. For example, Roddy Darragon , whose best result was sixth, was one place higher than Vasily Rotschew, who finished eleventh in his best race to date, with the same number of points.
