Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2023

[justony 454]

Today 15 teams in Men's Relay, one more as in Seefeld 2019, top 12 would be quite good for our team.

 

If you ask FIS, we already had a relay in 1999 and 2001, have we, @hckošice

I'm going in with a medal for Italy today.  By the way, Norge have never lost a men's relay at the World Championships in the 21st century.

Holundexpress in 1st leg against sprinters ? Gold solved after 700m

[Federer91 2,810]

Nockler falls on the hill and breaks a pole  Italy falls back in the standings and things are very complicated now..

[Matteo92 98]

Italy is out of it already. Nockler was unlucky in its fall, but I don't think the effort he made to get back in the chasing group justifies the four centuries he lost in the final 3 kilometers.

But they have missed gold 3 times in olympics at least  and medal completely 2 of those

You must love the "above all, do not hurry !" French and Sweden´s tactic, such masterplan 

 

Czechia  never would have believe they can fall even behind Latvia... but yeah, they still finished ahead of us, so

I do think from Halvarsson's point of view, it was the best tactic. He obviously didn't have his best day and tried to slow down the race. Sure, it didn't work, but it was probably his only chance.

 

Lapierre and Moch were the ones who played with fire. Luckily it worked for Moch.
