Cross-Country Skiing 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread

Just saw a video of the track in Termas de Chillan today....it's almost impossible, but conditions got even worse. The skiing track is simply not consisting of any snow, it's all ice. Stomping on these little ridges in the snow with full power doesn't even break them, they're as hard as rocks. This is not cross-country skiing anymore.

Therese is one of the athletes who was punished when many people did not agree with all the conditions. I am glad she is back !!

Unpopular Opinion: She deserves the same fate as the Russians.

And one of the athletes who is apparently blind and thinks reading the ingredients and stuff of things you put in or around your mouth is not important as an athlete.

That's actually not an unpopular opinion
