Same with TUW and Sundling, all three potential medalists. The only positive I can see with this is that the team sprint starts to get some status finally should have had another rest day so they, like Klaebo would have a chance to go for both events.

I would have found it hard to see Sundling as a real medal candidate in the skiathlon, but Weng...too bad she isn't entirely healthy yet and so simply has no choice but to divide her strength, early-season Weng would have had a real chance indeed.

I wouldn't have seen Weng here either, 15km is too long for her. I basically do not count her among the candidates for a medal here. I also don't think that she will run the 10km with regard to the relay.

Early-season Weng was even among the best over 20km, but that has gone for now with her problems

Down goes leader Andersson! Back up in time to keep the lead though.
