Really happy for Karlsson! In two years time she could dominate these events

New Johaug, yay. I guess women's XC skiing and domination go hand-in-hand.

Nah, way too early to say Karlsson will dominate  I'd say it's a lot more likely she won't, the step from this to domination is still rather big.

Right, because Johaug winning bronze in Sapporo 2007 was NOT a sign of things to come?

Right, because if one young athlete goes on to dominate after an impressive performance, every young athlete will go on to dominate after an impressive performance?

Don't get me wrong, obviously she has the talent to do it, I just think the step to actually dominate is so big it's more likely she won't do it (even though I'd be surprised not to see her fight for overall World Cup wins at some point).
