I know that I know nothing about, I know I am annoying as shit under the shoes repeating always the same coment, but I simply can not.. I can not understand why there only 1 run, it seems to me so unfair and completely injust for an Olympic event, maybe even more than the biathlon pursuits

This is not an uncommon opinion.

Dubreuil false started but de Jong and McLean didn't? Sure. Some people on Reddit were trying to argue the system was entirely automated so there was no controversy here, I'm having serious trouble believing that.

People on reddit were using FIS rules to explain it away.  But we know who those people are and why they were there, and on every thread there.

Sidenote - no new Olympic record for the first time these Games (men's TP still has semis and finals)

 

(No lowland sub-37s since Pyeongchang during this cycle)
