Couldn't watch the race but was expecting Norway/France/Samuelson to be on the podium and it turned out to be an absolute suprise ! Kuen and Smolski on podium wow 

British ES comms put it down as the transition from low level training - France & Norway - to an altitude race.

The French do train a large part at altitude, as they live almost everything simply at altitude

Hana Sola  

Destroying everyone out there with the exception of Braisaz Bouchet winning silver despite 2 misses and Roiseland finishing 3rd despite 0-0 and 50.3s behind absolutely shocking. Maybe Sola can target cross country next. 

 

Few Takeaways :

 

1. Bendika had a chance to win a World Cup medal if not the miss on the 10th shot. 

 

2.Stina Nilsson finished  16th, 1:33(1+1) behind ahead of Elvira Oeberg 

 

3.Ida Lien missed out on a medal by 2.2s (0+0) .

 

4. Caroline Colombo finished a creditable 21st. (1+0)

That's suprising maybe Norway wants to use these relays as practice for Olympics.

I think they want to give Roeiseland rest for Sunday. Looked tired today and she is the World Cup leader.
