Apparently she spent time as a ski instructor in Australia, then decided to stay there and build a life there and since 1-2 months she can represent Australia

interesting, I´m surprised by that, the conditions and winter sports helps are surely much better in SLO. but well, nice for Australia, she may be a serious contender to achieve the best Australian Cross-Country skiing result ever

Must be a historical situation that Norway doesn't have a full team (they can start 6 skiers, but only 5 starts)

I thought Parmakoski was going to win but yeah...

Man, I'm really missing a live timing where I can have more than 4 intermediates open!

 

Edit: Nevermind. Just found out that it will let me have it open several times

Alena Procházková again on points

Wow, looks like Malec really worked hard on her sprint this summer. Defeated at lof of participants in today's qualifications and only 4 seconds behind WC points.
