Torleif Syrstad with a truly epic race, first 65km or so in a lead group of four, then attacked for a 20km solo to the win

Cross Country Season not quite over yet.  The Ski Classics season continues for another couple of weeks, although coverage is patchy depending where you are.  Birkenbeiner on Sunday.

 

Then  &  both have National Championships this weekend.   Norway's will be free to air - hey, let's do a sprint, a middle distance ITT and to finish it off a 50km, why not?  Also para, Nordic Combined & even Telemark.

Every race where Poromaa is beaten is a nice one (considering his pathetic comments towards biathlon), so this seems like a nicely surprising result

Don´t think that was so serious comment but yes still stupid.

Fun fact btw from yesterday´s races. It was Maja Dahlqvists first ever national championship medal. Just took some world cup wins, and world and olympic medals first, and it wasn´t even in a sprint or in a very good season.

After this past season for the Norge women, i wonder if the Federation is begging her to return.
