It was really funny to see people popping their heads through tree's etc in Nove Mesto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is their "work" so they fall under the special circumstances issued by the Italian government. The French confirm this: https://www.ski-nordique.net/la-federation-italienne-de-ski-stoppe-toutes-ses-activites.6292320-358825.html The biathlon 'A' team is allowed to finish the season, same with women's ski jumping team, snowboard cross and of course Federica Brignone in alpine skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men's big globe (with two worst removed): Fourcade 797 Fillon - Maillet - 753 JTB - 810 Women's big globe (with two worst removed): Wierer 741 Eckhoff 707 Oeberg 705. Conspiracy theory alert - if JTB and Eckhoff are ahead after Kontiolahti , Oslo gets cancelled and both Norwegians win! - Not that I believe it, but I could see people saying this.

Bohemia 1,259 Posted March 11, 2020 #747 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Could Kontiolahti host the last stage instead of Oslo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch this, you will see how they make these decisions. Start around 2:25 for specific moments about IBU WC events. The entire clip is pretty good.

Werloc 3,127 Posted March 11, 2020 #749 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Don't cancel Oslo. We need a frikkin' extra men's sprint if we're going to fuck up the relays and fall below 17th in the nation's cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,600 Posted March 11, 2020 #750 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well, the ski jumping Raw Air in Norway is going on strong right now so the only way biathlon in Oslo gets cancelled is to protect JTB and Eckhoff IF they lead the World Cup after Kontiolahti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
