Is the qualification for the 30k different than other events?

There are two ways to get qualified specifically for the 30km event:

 

1- by FIS points - the "normal way" - as well as the top athletes do. I am not sure if it is <120 or <100 FIS points for women, but I believe someone here can make it clear for us

 

2- by being Top10 (and not more than 20% behind the winner) in the qualifying race (the race before the Sprint - 5km for women and 10km for men). This is the one I am gonna try.

One word: Cowbells 

 

Well, they’re unique. I can’t say I like them, but I think they’ll grow on me.

Couldn't have been anything else  When thinking about Swiss winter sports fans, cowbells are the absolute number one thing that comes to mind. A group of 'em was behind me at the world ski flying championships in Vikersund...those things are freaking loud

I bought my biggest cowbell in Oberstdorf. While my Swiss bells are in totally other style.

Not just Winter sports though.

That's the one I was sure about

I just hope it won't be in Schwitz Dütsch. In fact French nor Italian nor Retoroman wouldn't help me anyway.

I think you’ll be attending that for us, as 12PM Swiss Time is about 2AM my time. I already did enough waking up at Swiss Time this winter anyway

I might die of “neon exposure” by the end of these games. The brightness of their theme really hurts my eyes.

As these are the University Games, I think Oxford and Cambridge rowing clubs might have something to do with these suits.
