Of course I don't know if this is one of those usual Eastern European races where races are not always won on the track, so to say :p

Results of the last stage of the 9th season of the Brazilian rollerski circuit, where Bruna was - for the first time - not the winner in the women's category. She won the first season, tied with Gabi Neres, and won the 7 next seasons. Obviously she didn't compete this year.

https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/event-details.html?sectorcode=CC&eventid=51368&seasoncode=2023

 

Some good observations:

 

- First ever win for young Wilbert Rodrigues, a seriously impressive skier to watch. 

 

- Good amount of new young girls joining the FIS races, one or two of whom seem to be pretty promising for the next few years. They're 15 now, so plenty of time to grow, but boy does their technique look better than the 15-year olds of a few years ago!

 

- The skiathlon, a rarity in the Brazilian circuit. Didn't catch the men's race, but I heard it was a really nice sprint finish. The women's race started with Gabi having the race of her life, gaining over half a minute in the 5k classic part - 10 seconds in the ski exchange alone. Awesome to finally see her start all-in, even though Mika Picin unsurprisingly caught up to her and clearly beat her in the freestyle part. Especially for the youngest girls, 10k is quite a new experience, and unlike the other races, which were at 08.30 or so, this race started at 10.40 in the morning, when it was already seriously burning hot. One of the young girls apparently fainted on the top of a climb, but got back up, finished the race and collapsed again right after the finish. The stand-by ambulance rushed to the finish line, and a little bit later she was transported off to the hospital. Last I heard is that she was doing relatively alright, so that's good.

 

Apart from being sick in the first days, it was fun to watch a stage again after three years :d

We have races on TV today, just as for the biathlon last week.  Classic sprint races from Sweden

 

Längdskidor: Bruksvallarna – Sammandrag av sprintprolog samt finalen | SVT Play

 

And Sprint races from Norway - remember, it doesn't work from the Direkte / Live page, only from individual Sport - Langrenn - page.

 

Langrenn – I dag kl. 13:10 – Klassisk sprint, finaler – NRK TV

 

And same thing tomorrow & Sunday. 

 

Same programme for both countries, would you believe

 

Friday - Classic sprints

Saturday - Classic middle distance ITT

Sunday - Freestyle middle distance ITT

 

Very possibly from Finland as well, but my brain would explode if I tried.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
