Oh great, the short individual. Just what everybody did not want to see.

Already saw one in Arber, not that bad

First a full individual to warm up because it's cold as flying fuck, and then a short individual for realz?

I love the individual and it's already a bummer to me that there are so little of them in a season.

 

And now we get this

The women will need to be quick as fuck if they want to make it in time to their starting positions for the short individual.

The Canmore weekend races are reschedulled. The Saturdays Relays are moved to Friday and the Sundays Mass Starts will be competed on Saturday. So far it´s still not certain if the Individuals will be contested tomorrow as originally schedulled

As sprints, by the looks of it.

I do think it's better than nothing when the other option is to scrap it entirely due to extreme weather. Cutting the worst part of the course in order to still have a valid competition (and really, it's still hellishly hard) seems like a much better option.

Excellent warm up, we'll see some flyers in the short one.

We'll see Kaisa Makarainen finish the short one whilst Gabrielė Leščinskaitė is still in shooting 3 at the warm up individual

A little sad, but better than nothing.
