Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2019

[Kirkpatrick 144]

It's warm and sunny, commentators saying it could be a very slow race.

 

Probably very grueling too.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Jeez, another Norwegian gold? Holund with 50 seconds lead over others, but still 24 kilometers to go.

 

Come on, others, show yourselves!

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Come on, Bolsho! Catch him!

[Monzanator 5,073]

I tuned him at the 43k mark since the Indoor Athletics ended... Polish ES crew says Holund will hold on...

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Heh, probably won't make it, but awesome try. Battle for bronze, there's like 50 of them.

Norway won all men's event

Amazing! Holund's first victory on top level

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Apparently, Holund was never even on podium in World Cup individual race. And of course, quick wikipedia trip makes that completely wrong.

 

(Still) Nice.

 

Bolshunov is a beast, I'm now a fan. Guy raced in every race available, got today on because of sickness of teammate, and got four silvers from it all.

First and probaby last win for Holund. Kershaw talking crap again like he doesn't remember Johan Olsson in  Val di Fiemme.

 

Between Pyongchang and Seefeld Bolshunov has won 7 silvers & 1 bronze in a span of 12 months! Can we call him the Silver Bear already?

Nope. 1x second place & 6x third place for Holund
