Jaqueline Mourão won't compete in the 10km classic, despite finishing 2nd in the qualifying race. This was apparently perfectly planned, she's in fact already back in Brazil. Nicely done, taking away a place from teenage Argentinian Catalina Gonzalez, who finished 11th and so didn't qualify, despite Brazil already knowing Mourão wouldn't compete in the 10k even if she qualified.

 

Ugh.

They love everything British-Canadian-American. Very annoying.

Yup, they seem to be obsessed with Susan Dunklee and Sean Doherty.

Anyone know where to watch the team sprint qualifications? Neither Eurosport nor Czech TV are running it (Biathlon instead)

Looks like NRK will have it.

 

 

I use Hola for live stream from their official site.

With the Norwegian say to use  astma medication, I am pretty sure Ebba Andersson would have started  Today. 

Some skiiers have astma but none of our best (Kalla, Nilsson etc).

Wow! That's fantastic! I had no idea Hola even existed... insane.

Problem is my university internet doesn't allow it so I have to use another VPN on top of Hola, but it works very well  Thanks.

Hola is... sketchy. I would really encourage people here to spend the money on a reputable paid VPN service.

That's hardly a surprise. Every time a bunch of "qualifiers" don't start in any of the remaining distance races. I'd say the majority, even.
