Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2018 - 2019

Stina Nilsson on par with Johaug and Oestberg. 

Can she try it for overall next season?

[Kirkpatrick 144]

And she wins. 

 

First distance race Johaug lost all season?

Impressive by Nilsson  

 

I'm slightly surprised Johaug very clearly outsprinted Oestberg though

[Swewi 461]

If any swede would beat Johaug in a distance race this season, I thought it would be Andersson, Kalla or Karlsson but it was Nilsson

Klaebo surrounded himself with his Norwegian posse. Poor Bolshunov, no Russian close to him.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

1493 Klaebo

1451 Bolshunov

 

 

But 50 seconds behind. Shame, I don't wanna mainly sprinter to win overall.

Bonus seconds in mass start races, just me, or quite stupid and very unfair to lower ranked racers?

 

Anyway, can't watch, but looks like Bolshunov and Harvey took 15 seconds of Klaebo at 5 km.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Hrrmm, Klaebo might have fallen, because in another 800 meters lost another 13 seconds...? Stupid Eurosport, this race would've fit right before biathlon. But nooooo, we have to watch replay of boring ski jumping.

 

Guess not, another kilometer, another 10 seconds, Russian and Canadian are giving it all!

 

Hmm, to stop following it or not? And enjoy the replay after biathlon...lets try that and hope for a good finish.
