2018-19 Ottepaa WC (10 km classic) - 2:45 behind Johaug

One summer later...

2019-20 Ruka WC (10 km classic) - 0:45 behind Johaug

 

Not bad for your regular 28-year old. In one summer she improved by over 72%! There is a hope for all of us!! :roflmao:

:p 

 

I share your feelings, don't get me wrong, but at least part of the difference is due to Johaug not having destroyed everyone as much as in those races.

yeah, I think Therese today was absolutely in control of the operations and didn't want to waste too much energy (tomorrow there's another race)...

 

p.s. :ITA Scardoni yesterday won the qualification race of the sprint event...today, after 1.2km, she was 23 secs behind Johaug...:yikes::nopompom:

 

and at the end of the race she's "only" 2.05 behind the Norwegian (currently in 35th place, best Italian girl of the day)...

Which only means for a sprinter she dealt with her energy very well for the distance. No reason at all to try and blow everyone away in the first kilometer even if you're a good sprinter :p

she's supposed to be an all-round skier...not only a sprint specialist...

 

but today she started slow like a turtle...with a better start, she could have made the top 30...but probably she's not mentally ready to face the pain you need to feel to achieve good results (at least, that's what Fulvio valbusa said during Eurosport's broadcast here in Italy)...

Or, at least as likely, with a faster start she'd have fallen back more than only two minutes. But I guess it's easier to just say someone isn't mentally ready to face the pain :p

Another race with very odd seeding coming up, should be exciting.

My eye is on everything until bib 70, Bolshunov seems to normally be the last one who can go for the win.

      Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková

      One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.

      I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us

      Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).

      Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.

      Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/

      I didn't buy any tickets, but didn't get the e-mail.   We bought tickets on my wife's account (earlier timeslot), but not 12, and she got the e-mail.

      I am very curious.  We got extremely lucky in the first ticket drop, both my and my wife's emails were selected for relatively early time slots-- early enough that we bought our full allotment of tickets for good stuff.  Not swimming or gymnastics of course, but we were really pleased,  d   But today I received an email on one of those accounts saying that we were entered into the second drop because we hadn't used up our 12 ticket allotment.  I went back and counted-- twice-- and yes, we certainly did purchase 12 tickets on that account.      I am not sure I want any more!  Did this happen to anybody else?
