Two races – two golds.

The Swedish women's national team's successful start at the World Championship has simultaneously been a nightmare for the home nation Norway.

But now Norwegian skier Silje Theodorsen believes in revenge.

What happened yesterday was the worst that could happen for Sweden's part, says Silje Theodorsen according to Aftonbladet.

Theodorsen is referring to Therese Johaug who was beaten by Ebba Andersson in a photo finish in the skiathlon race.

It was the Norwegians' second consecutive gold miss since Kristine Stavås Skistad had to give in to Jonna Sundling in the initial sprint.

Theodorsen has Johaug as her favorite in Tuesday's 15km race in classical style.

She's a unique athlete and in the race she did yesterday, it looked like she sprinted all the way.

I believe she'll gather strength and motivation from that to the other races. She'll become terrifying now.
