And that's, considering the circumstances, an extra impressive win for Corona Bruna

Those were terrible conditions, damn. Third placed finisher collapsed after the finish due to the heat and fatigue, it took at least 20 minutes and some help from other athletes and later even the ambulance personnel before she slowly managed to get back on her feet. Luckily she's ok now, but that was a bit of a scare.

Awesome, today I got to present the gold medal to the winner in the women's FIS sprint :yikes::d

 

@Jesús dominated the men's race in a pretty impressive showing.

Did they let you wear a fancy dress? :p

@Jesús completely destroyed today's competition, wow. After two of three laps everyone was passing by while looking dead, and he still seemed to have a huge amount of power with every move. Damn, that was impressive.

As for the women's race, it was almost equal between Bruna and Ceci Dominguez in the first lap, but Bruna visibly lost power early in the second lap (the lap started with a long straight with full on headwind, then a short uphill) and finished 20 seconds behind. Fun fact: with 13:41.1 minutes she had exactly the same time as she did when she won in July :d

I'll try when I see him tomorrow :p

 

I'm sure he'll have time to think about it during the pursuit, considering he's almost finished by the time the first chaser starts :d

      have a new National Team coach,  Hans Robert "Bob" Hanning    despite the amazing campaign that ended with the best performance ever at the world championships by our NT, coach Riccardo Trillini has basically been fired by the new Federation's President after an 8-year tenure   Hanning has had a very successful career as a trainer (especially with junior and low tier teams brought to the top level) first, then he was also a well known TV commentator and finally has dedicated himself full time to the Füchse Berlin, as a youth coach, as a manager and as an official (up to the CEO role)   he also had a major role in the German Federation, leading (as an official, not on the bench) the NT to the 2016 European gold and Rio Olympic bronze   the question is: after a very long time he's not been on the bench, will he be able to find his "magic touch" once again?
