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

Frankly, she is too heavy for these conditions.

Sweden will be going in the Team Sprint with Ribom and Sundling. Definetly the top favorites, both are also very good in the distance races.

France on the men side lying on Jay and Jouve, so no Jules Chappaz.

And Brazil with Jaque Mourão and our Bruna Moura  

 

Only this week I realized they also have this awful qualifying format instead of regular semi-finals here at the worlds, that sucks badly  Kind of takes away most of the enthusiasm of seeing Brazil in the race, since now it's basically just a repeat of the individual sprint qualifying and not a real team effort. Anyhow, vamos.

Kalvå casually forgetting to close one of her bindings.

Same thing yesterday, some incredibly amateurish ski changes from the big names.

Golberg just let a ski glide out onto the track, blocking the way of a few others...
