Okay, I didn't remember that. I used to think mass starts was actually 10k back then :rolleyes:

 

no, it's always been over 12.5km...

 

however, I made a quick search and those are all the women's Mass Start races gone beyond 40 mins* (the only Olympic race is the already mentioned Turin 2006, the first Olympic Mass Start race ever)...

 

World Cup
2017/2018 Antholz/Anterselva :BLR D.Domracheva 40:23.9
2015/2016 Ruhpolding :CZE G.Koukalova 41:13.2
2014/2015 Oberhof :BLR D.Domracheva 42:36.6
2011/2012 Oberhof :GER M.Neuner 40:02.2
2009/2010 Oberhof :GER A.Henkel 40:53.6 / Ruhpolding :SWE E.Ekholm 40:58.7
2007/2008 Oberhof :GER M.Neuner 40:46.1
2006/2007 Ruhpolding :SWE A.C.Olofsson-Zidek 44:32.0** / Pokljuka :UKR O.Khvostenko 41:55.9
2005/2006 Kontiolahti :BLR O.Zubrilova 42:38.2

 

*I didn't check before the 2005/2006 season...

** definitely, the slowest one...

 

World Champs
2005 Hochfilzen :NOR G.M.Istad-Kristiansen 41:40.3
1999 Oslo Holmenkollen :UKR O.Zubrilova 40:08.2 (the very first World Champ Mass Start race)

 

fun fact, Zubrilova is mentioned as a World champion for :UKR Ukraine and as a World Cup stage winner for :BLR Belarus...:lol:

The US has announced that only 4 have automatically qualified for the next two races.  

U.S. women's :

Clare Egan (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.).

 

U.S. men:

Sean Doherty (Center Conway, N.H.)

Leif Nordgren (Hinesburg, Vt.)

 

The rest of the nominations for the opening World Cup events of 2020 will be determined by the International Team Selection Trials taking place Jan. 6-7, in Arber, Germany. At the conclusion of those trials, additional athletes will be named to the World Cups 4-5 as well as the teams competing at IBU Cups 4-7.

 

Athletes competing at the International Team Selection Trials on the women's side are Emily Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.), Joanne Reid (Grand Junction, Colo.), Hallie Grossman (South Burlington, Vt.), Kelsey Dickinson (Winthrop, Wash.), Maddie Phaneuf (Old Forge, N.Y.) and Deedra Irwin (Pulaski, Wis.).

Competing in the men's trials will be Alex Howe (Gilford, N.H.), Jake Brown (Saint Paul, Minn.), Travis Cooper (Kenai, Alaska), Lars Hammernes Leopold (Truckee, Calif.), Paul Schommer (Appleton, Wis.), Max Durtschi (Ketchum, Idaho) and Raleigh Goessling (Duluth, Minn.).

 

This has been a very disappointing season on the World Cup so far for the US.  There have been good individual moments on the IBU Cup.

Russian biathlete Olga Podchufarova has applied for Slovenian citizenship and if she gets the go-ahead and the procedure is fast-tracked, she could come out of retirement to compete for Slovenia at the upcoming Pokljuka World Cup Biathlon in late January.

A few thoughts about the first three weekends:

 

Surprises:

Tiril Eckhoff  - I doubt anyone saw her success coming.

Swiss Women - The best season that I can remember is a long time

French Teams - Very deep on both sides.  As I mentioned earlier, it is odd to see in a sprint finish French men overtake Martin Fourcade.  

 

 

Disappointments:

US teams - 9 total athletes - 36 total world cup points, ouch!

Benny Weger - While the Swiss women have done well, the men have not.

German Women - Although they did better at Le Grand Bonnard, their first two weekends were really poor.  

 

I am looking forward to seeing the racing this weekend.

This has been a very disappointing season on the World Cup so far for the US.  There have been good individual moments on the IBU Cup. 

 

So the two day trial at Arber finished today.  

 

One the women's side:

Hallie Grossman (South Burlington, Vt.) and Emily Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.) will race in the IBU World Cups at Oberhof,  Ruhpolding, Germany and Pokljuka, Slovakia.

 

One the men's side:

Paul Schommer (Appleton, Wis.) and Jake Brown (Saint Paul, Minn.) who have both made the podium in the IBU Cup this season have been named to the WC team.

 

That makes the following in the next 4 IBU Cup spots:

The U.S. women's roster for the next four IBU Cup events will consist of Deedra Irwin (Pulaski, Wis.), Joanne Reid (Grand Junction, Colo.), Kelsey Dickinson (Winthrop, Wash.) and Maddie Phaneuf (Old Forge, N.Y.).

The men's IBU Cup team will be Max Durtschi (Ketchum, Idaho), Alex Howe (Gilford, N.H.), Travis Cooper (Kenai, Alaska) and Lars Hammernes Leopold (Truckee, Calif.). Raleigh Goessling (Duluth, Minn.) will serve as the team's first alternate.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
