With that mindset you'll never become the next Dutch waxing sensation.

The food was excellent

Nice weather, weak wind.

 

Doesn't look good for chaos today.

Classic German TV directing in Ruhpolding. They miss JTB to focus on Benedikt Doll closing on the finish. And Doll missed T.Boe's time by less than 2 secs.

Looks like Johannes win, but at least it won't be huge one, few seconds or so. Hope Tarjei will prevail though, but that's hard to expect. /edit: yeah, from -4 or so to +5 now.

So basically the opposite of what they did in Oberhof.

The Ruhpolding & Oberhof races are always the same for years. TV focuses on star names no matter how good or bad they are doing, a ton of meaningless passages from the course while some less known names are shooting but we get no sight of them. Hell, let's show some trees & snow falling too! They can't even stick to the Top 10 starting because hey, let's follow a guy for the first 800 meters of the course!

It appears that Sweden had lousy skis today...

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Now Vittozzi was shooting with fantastic time, but we don't see her passing through the intermediate point because we need a shot of coaches. Ridiculous.

[Monzanator 4,579]

Vittozzi 11 secs. clear of Chevalier.

[Monzanator 4,579]

Olsbu goes 2nd but ofc German TV doesn't show her..

 

Chevalier 10/10.
