Swewi 297 Posted May 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Lampic Will miss world championships at home next year. Why? She becomes a biathlete brunamoura, heywoodu and Monzanator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,202 Posted May 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Looks like we are headed to a merger of Ski Jumping Canada, Biathlon Canada, Nordic Combined Canada and Nordiq Canada. http://www.nordicstrategy.ca/uploads/2/9/0/5/29058833/nordic_strategy_update_apr-28-22.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swewi 297 Posted May 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sad for the sport with Lampic leaving. Good that Nilsson left for biathlon. Would be too much Swedish dominance in womens sprint without russians, Falla and Lalpoc, especially with Svahn back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted May 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Interesting how they can find TV time for women to race longer, while they can find no such thing for the interval races. Monzanator 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,134 Posted May 18, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2022 So having the women run the same distances as the men, is de facto meaning "we will lower the distances for the men". Of course they weren't stupid enough to kill the 50 km, because that would be suicide for them, even though i am sure they are secretly dreaming of dropping it to 30km, like they did at the Olympics.. But still there are only 2 such races every season, so they could turn a blind eye. So we have the next best thing, shorten the Skiathlon from 30km to 20km and the middle distance individual from 15km to 10km, because that single 20km looks very odd to me. I can't picture them having 20km distance races every week for both men and women, it's 95% always going to be 10km ones. Because we can have a 50km women's race, but we can't upgrade them from 10km to just do 15 km ones, that would be just preposterous. Let alone a 30km Skiathlon, no no, no one has TV time for that.
