Therese Johaug (born 25 June 1988) is a Norwegian cross-country skier who has competed for the clubs Tynset IF and IL Nansen.[2] She is a three-time Olympic medallist.
Athletic career
After skiing some domestic races in the 2006 season, Johaug took part at the Norwegian Championships in 2007, winning a bronze at the 7.5 km + 7.5 km double pursuit event.[3] She was selected for two World Cup races prior to the World Championships, finishing eighth and 33rd in two interval start races over 10 km, which was enough to be selected for competition in the 30 km distance at the 2007 Sapporo World Championships where she won a surprising bronze medal.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, she won gold in the 4 x 5 km relay, came sixth in the 15 km pursuit and seventh in the 30 km mass start (classic) race.
Johaug won her first individual gold medal in the 30 km mass start race at the 2011 World Championships in Oslo. She also won gold in the 4 x 5 km relay, bronze in the 7.5 km + 7.5 km double pursuit and fourth in the 10 km individual start. At the 2013 World Championships she won her second individual gold medal in the 10 km freestyle race.
At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, she won the silver medal in the 30 km mass start (free) and the bronze medal in the 10 km classical, she also finished fourth in the 15 km skiathlon.
Johaug and compatriot Martin Johnsrud Sundby became the first Norwegians to win the Tour de Ski when they won the women's and men's competitions in the 2013-14 edition of the race.[4] Johaug subsequently won the overall and distance competitions in the 2013–14 FIS Cross-Country World Cup.[5]
She won the Birkebeinerrennet ski marathon in 2015 with a time of 2.41.46. That year she also enjoyed her most successful World Championship performance in Falun, where she took three gold medals: two in individual events (the 15km skiathlon and the 30km classic mass start) and one as part of the Norwegian women's team in the 4x5km relay.[6][7][8]
Johaug followed her World Championship success with her best ever World Cup season in 2015-16, winning a second Tour de Ski by overturning a 39-second deficit to Ingvild Flugstad Østberg on the final stage to complete the climb up Alpe Cermis with a lead of 2 minutes 21 seconds over runner-up Østberg.[9] She went on to capture the overall and distance World Cups, rounding off her season by winning the inaugural Ski Tour Canada in a similar fashion to her Tour de Ski win, eradicating Heidi Weng's 30 second lead on the final stage pursuit to take victory by over a minute.[10]
Doping
During a press conference on 13 October 2016 the Norwegian Ski Federation announced that Norwegian skier Therese Johaug, in a urine test taken out of competition on 16 September 2016, had tested postitive for clostebol,[11][12] allegedly after using the dermatological cream Trofodermin, despite, as required by Italian law, the fact that the packaging and tube has a large warning sign on it that it contains a substance classified as doping.[13] The cream had allegedly been bought at a local pharmacy by the Norwegian national team's doctor, Fredrik S. Bendiksen, to cure her lip that got sore (actinic cheilitis) after sunburn during a high altitude training stay in Livigno, Italy in late August 2016. Trofodermin is a registered medicine in Italy and Brazil, but not in Norway. Dr. Bendiksen took full responsibility, and resigned as team doctor during the press conference. However, every athlete is personally responsible of his or her controlled substance abuse, as shown in the case of italian cyclist Stefano Agostini in 2013.[14] Therese Johaug's case is under investigation by Anti-Doping Norway[15] as of October 2016[update].[16]
