And as she also did in Drammen in a course where it is almost impossible to keep a lead before the long downhill before last curve.

Yes, she has to go full speed immediately and outrun Skistad like in Planica. Otherwise she will face the same threat in Lahti.

Will be no real City Sprint in Tallinn, the course will be on the Song Festival Ground. This is the venue:

 

They will be racing twice to the top.

The snow was absolutely awful, but the location itself and the track and everything was really nice  

 

Definitely worth a repeat in that sense, and significantly better than the tight tracks in Dresden and Drammen.

Oi oi oi!  
 

Controversy in Lahti!    Dahlquist was heading out in the first round after a crash, but her team-mate Ilar slowed down & let her pass, Formula 1 style.  Wonder what the judges will say.  We in  don’t like that stuff! 
 

At the very least, it’s match-rigging from the Bookies point of view.

 

TU Weng knocks Diggins out, so that’s it for the Big Globe.  Heroic effort from Jess after the TdS mess-up, but always a very slim chance.

But you can't punish Dahlqvist either, Hennig led to the situation.

[Swewi 461]

Dahlqvist deserved to be top2 in that QF, broke a pole because of Hennig, however I don't think that is an excuse. Ilar wouldn't have Done that for someone Else or in another scenario.

All eyes on Ribom, she need to help Dahlqvist.

[JonPhi 250]

Job done by Ribom. And Sundling too late again.
