The third world cup goes around the countryside in the Czech Republic, in Nove Mesto. The last race, the common start, will take place on the afternoon of December 23, the day before.
"That's what we're all afraid of, not going home for Christmas," says Tiril Eckhoff at VG.
The common departure of women starts only at 14:30 on Christmas Eve.
"They should have found us a plane that brings us home, and I hope we will fly this plane." Otherwise, it will be Christmas Eve at an airport. It's the fear. I really want to go home, because when we leave on Friday, we are not home before Christmas Eve. Eckhoff says it's long to go on a trip.

Bjørndalen about Eckhoff: – could have reached the podium of several cross-country skiing exercises
She has a "plan" to get on the Christmas plane.
"Actually, I should not do that well in this race, the easiest thing is to be number 29 and go home, and then I do not need a press conference or a doping test anymore. – all this takes time, says the young man of 28 years and laughs.
She is approaching the start of the World Cup in Pokljuka with two wins in the baggage. She won the sprint on Sjusjøen on Saturday and was also better on Sunday's joint start.
Even with four bombs, she defeated Denise Herrmann (+14.1) and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold (14.2) on a joint start.
"It was a good start, so all is well, everything is not perfect either, then I have something to work in the future I'm looking forward to playing," said Eckhoff after the double victory of the season.
The skier also impressed during the cross-country ski season, but then declared that she was nervous:
– Never get up
The four tramps spread over the four shootings explain it as follows:
"There were a few too late shots like smoke, but I never gave up and I fought again.Now I think I'm having great days at home," said Eckhoff .
Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was well placed for the joint start, but two of the penalties came on the last shot. She had to finish her second lap with former cross-country specialist Denise Herrmann.
– It has become difficult. I was so tired in the end that I did not see Denise. It was almost just black. I do not want to call what I asked, because I did not feel at all in a hurry, said 22 years after 3rd place.
