Tarjei looks like Johannes on skis with this competition.

Mone Brorsson with an impressive showing, fast on skis, fast on range, and 10/10, might be huge advantage in the finish.

[Monzanator 4,501]

Yeah, could be a medal for Brorsson here.

@Function CR Lee Ying Qu already has 30 athletes behind her, which means she can't miss the top-60 anymore and so she qualified for the pursuit

The US actually had a pretty good day.

 

The women put 4 in the pursuit -  

Emily Dressigacker - 10th place

Hannah Grossman - 54th place

Deedra Irwin - 56th place

Kelsey Dickinson - 60th place

 

I would love to see Dressigacker finish in the top 10 tomorrow, that would be awesome.

 

For the men, they put 3 in the pursuit -

Max Durtschi -  29th

Alex Howe - 48th

Jake Ellingson - 55th

 

Emily Dressigacker had a great race a hung was only 1:16 behind the winner!

Team Sweden's had enough success already. Nelin, Brorsson & Oeberg all DNS in the pursuit.

I think they left for Sweden after the races yesterday.  Does open the pursuit some.

Boe runs away with the men's race, Eliseev also does well.  

Women race was won by Yurlova with Kryuko in 2nd.  Belarus really rose to the occasion. Emily Dreissigacker of the US has one of her best weekends ever with a 10th in the Spring and 9th in the Pursuit.
