Cross-Country Skiing 2022 - 2023 Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

Astrid Slind, who did the 30k classic in Planica not even 20 hours before the Vasaloppet start, took the lead in the women's race and made a nice gap, but Emilie Fleten has caught her after 40km or so and is now a minute ahead. Fleten has collected 16 (!) podium positions in the big classics in the past few years, but not a single win :yikes:

Today could be the day for the Wendy Holdener of Ski Classics :d

Emil Persson with a mighty sprint to take the victory as first Swede since 2012 :bowdown: 

 

16-year old mega talent Alvar Myhlback, who skipped the junior worlds for ths Ski Classics, finishes in an amazing 8th. To think he needed an exception to even compete today, since you have to be 19 to compete normally - he is the youngest Vasaloppet skier ever.

The Engadin Classic Marathon on Sunday is going to be shown FTA on the Olympic Channel.  Normally the Ski Classic series of races are hidden away on PayTV channels, expect in the Scandi countries. 

ViaPlay has them and since this season also broadcasts them in the Netherlands (with English commentary!) on their streaming platform :cheer: 

 

That was an incredibly unexpected yet fantastic discovery when I realized that in November or so :d 

 

Can't check right now but I hope Engadin will be there as well.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
