Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2018 - 2019

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Østberg and Pärmäkoski fail to qualify for SF, lots of points lost. Pending last group, the Norwegian is at only 4 points now, Nepryayeva might even catch her today...

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Bolshunov fails to qualify for SF as well! Klæbo surely gets in front of him overall, just 50 points or so difference.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

No luck for Pellegrino either, so Sprint title is done and dusted? Klæbo will have close to 150 points advantage. Still 300 in play though.

 

Bolshunov failed, but not all was that bad, as he's the fastest of the "rest", 13th place for...20 points. Østberg just 6, and I believe 14 for Pärmäkoski.

1 x 10 Km F Pursuit (double the points)

Got wrong that about double the points. It's actually 50 points for a stage win, but an athlete can get 200 more for being an overall winner of the Finals. So, in theory, one can get 350 points.

Overall:

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo  1281

Alexander Bolshunov  1250

The Falun course must be killing, world class athletes like Kalla and Von Siebenthal are out with 20+ seconds slower times than the leading Swedes.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Nepryayeva also fails to qualify, good news for Østberg.

Few care about this sprint, as no coverage on plenty of channels, ES included.

 

Guess me neither, as not in a mood of stream hunting. Will make an effort for distance racing tomorrow though.
