I assume Japanese will struggle in cross country as usual. Definitely, Rydzek is the big question mark. If he is remotely close to his best in cross-country skiing, then he should win it. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 896 Posted February 9, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Is there any good reason why this sport doesn't have at least a second jump run for a bit of equity ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV air time! Two round of jumping will be ~2h + 40min of run, sadly nobody get time to broadcast this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sadly bellow zero interest in this sport here. Which is really sad, because I love this sport a lot, was the first winter sport I started to watch and immediatelly fell in love with it since the Bjarte Engen Vik era, but sometimes I feel like I am the only one in Slovakia... Even the schedulled ski jumping part today was cut off from our TV to have like a 30 minutes studio before the hockey match between russia and switzerland. so yeah that´s it... At least I have czech TV and eurosports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,127 Posted February 9, 2022 #27 Share Posted February 9, 2022 So Riiber is still not clear? What a bummer this could turn out for him. More than Kramer, who was very good only this season, while he has been dominating for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the past few weeks might have shown he had peaked a little wrong...but we'll never know I guess.

Or just change the point calculations a little if it's that unfair now (which I don't think it is) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
