Good start to the season for @brunamoura, 375 FIS points in a mildly strong sprint field in Italy yesterday. Started well in the quarters, but fell because of someone in front of her hitting something that bounced back on the course. That's alright though, qualifying is what matters in the sprint and that went well for a first snow race in almost 2 years

10k today, starting a little after 10am. Getting under 300 points or so would be a nice way to start the road.
It's generally just called the skiathlon, so having a 'X km and X km' in the title is a bit confusing. The point is that the race is cut into two halves, one is done in the classic technique, the other in the freestyle (skating technique), so in this case it's a 20km race

still - it's interesting if they chose the athletes well, if their "stars" will get many medals in 2026... because they will surely get a lot of media attention...
I will try to make a list of NOCs where we have some active users here but i'm sorry because i surely forgot someone so please add them to the list.
Idea for this thread is who was the best French/Spanish/Italian/Dutch etc. athlete in 2024 in your opinion? You can nominate one athlete for each NOC.
I think she’ll get top 6, but no podium. With the amount of medal contenders that we have, there’s gonna be some disappointments (In Beijing we had Kingsbury in moguls even with the silver, Dubreuil in the 500m, men’s ski cross, curling, and our men’s hockey team as the main ones)
