Nice crowds in Ostersund, although, Johaug is already ruining it for everyone.

Norwegian trio grabs podium places, but still Johaug with a great advantage over Weng and Oestberg. Pursuit tomorrow.

 

I am intrigued by the Tuesday and Thursday. In three days an "uphill" sprint, that's something new, and on Thursday 38 km for both men and women! Apparently, no coaching, or outside refreshement, athletes will have to carry what they want to eat or drink.

Terrible TV coverage of the men's race.

They named this just "Ski Tour"? Such originality.

Norwegians take another podium. 4th, 6th and 8th place as well.

 

And this tool on Eurosport just can't shut up about Andrew Young.

Incidentally, anyone know what has happened to  Alex Harvey this season? Don’t recall having seen him at all, and the commentators have not said anything about where he is.

That's most likely due to the fact he retired after last season

He was in his 20s for ten years or so, yes, but not anymore when he retired
