Grassmarket 2,715 Posted February 26, 2023 #122 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Wasn’t paying attention last time this was discussed, but this is a weird qualifying format they’ve come up with. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally boring and has nothing to do with the race later. And it's just stupid that 16 qualify, so here all run only slowly in front. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's just stupid that 16 qualify, so here all run only slowly in front. The front teams go slowly, the backmarkers just have a repeat of their individual qualifying. The only teams for whom this is remotely interesting are the teams who are really fighting for those positions around the 15th spot. It should at the very least provide FIS points, since it's simply an individual qualifying race. brunamoura 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 26, 2023 #125 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Anyhow, great race by Bruna, only 1,5s behind Jaque is one of the closest - if not the closest - margins ever between them! Both did excellent Edited February 26, 2023 by heywoodu maestro and brunamoura 1 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted February 26, 2023 #126 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Why not run two full sprint races, classical & freestyle, then use the qualifying from the freestyle as the seed for the team sprint? And all on the same day! No, obviously…..couldn’t do it at the Olympics, but plenty sports have more WC medals than Olympic ones.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 26, 2023 #127 Share Posted February 26, 2023 While calling Bruna after her individual sprint qualifying on Thursday, while she was standing in that warmup/cooldown area where athletes do their last-minute prep and stuff, she at some point walked away for a second. I heard some talking in the background, and later she told me it was the Mexican she had waited for at the finish, Regina (they've known each other for a while). While they were talking, apparently one Jessie Diggins walked by and was super excited about Regina's Mexican race suit, offering a swap with her American one, and after some hesitation on the other side, Diggins made it really clear it was definitely not a joke So they got in touch later to set a place to meet, and now: Spoiler maestro, brunamoura, hckošice and 2 others 2 1 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
