Cross-Country Skiing FIS Ski Tour 2020

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Just five Norwegian girls in the top 10 at the end. But check out men's field... 2 Russians and eight(!) Norwegians start in top 10.

 

Chances are that Bolshunov will keep his lead, but 30k, you never know.

What are these "w+(time)"?

That is the wave I was talking about earlier!  They all started 8:08 after Johaug, but their actual calculated time could be 15 or 20 minutes, which gets added to their finishing time today.

Thank you. So, start would've taken too long if taking their actual times, so they started them all at the same(ish) time...

Would have been chaos because some people would start lapped.

Which is a pretty common thing in pursuit-style races, to be fair.

It’s very common in Nordic Combined & these Cross Country Tour races.  Doesn’t really happen in biathlon because the maximum gap is only three-four minutes.  Maybe they use it in those Schalke stadium races.

Awesome conditions in Trondheim now

Looks like another Norwegian podium. Bolshunov looks dead! Pal took 40 seconds out of him in first 5k and took the lead. Others closing in too.

Golberg is insane these days all of a sudden.
