Birkebeinerrennet 2002

Tired Stefania Belmondo

- The fact that the whole class start together decides my tactic. A very cheerful Stefania tells birken.no when we meet here in the starting area after she had a light trainingtour in the tracks up to Skramstadsetra. Double Gold Medal Winner from Salt Lake City Olympics says she has respect for the long run across the mountain.

Stefania Belmondo - ready for the 58 kilometers over the mountain.

Preperations
Stefania tell us she hasn’t prepared especially for the Birkebeiner. This is her last race, and she is very tired in the end of the season, she tells us with a grin. This is just an ordinary race for her. It’s her first long race in the classical style. That will be a hard task. She thinks the race might be a bit long for her.

Norwegian favourites
Anita Moen and Bente Skari are her favourites. She think other Norwegian skiers also can do well, since the know the race and the track from before.

Italian food
A lot of Birkebeiners are concerned about what they eat before the race. Belmondo prefers pasta, vegetables and fruit. Italian pizza comes in second line, Stefania Belmondo laughs.

Tactics
The Italian crosscountry-start hasn’t made a special tactic. She underline the fact that it’s mass-start. That’s the reason she haven’t made a plan. She will look at her competitors and plan the race after them.

Birken.no wishes Stefania, who don’t have a star-attitude at all, good luck.
