wins women's 4x3,3 km relay!

 

The job done by Alexander Veretelny & Justyna Kowalczyk sure comes to the fore. Marcisz won three individual medals so far.

 

It's sad that there are reports Veretelny might actually retire at the end of the season. He has said before he's basically retired for 7 years already   If he goes, so will Kowalczyk and our senior cross country will go down the gutter again. We haven't done anything to cash in on Kowalczyk's success period anyway. It's basically this one coach who brought her to all these results and now she's doing the coaching for the youngsters. We're complete amateurs compared to Norway & co.

Yep, apparently the German went the wrong route on the last leg and Marcisz simply followed her by default even though she knew there was a new loop for the relay. Epic brain freeze that makes Stadlober look good

North America 1-2 in the men's relay wow.

Thanks COVID-19, finally managed to catch up by avoiding all spoilers and just watching all the races  

 

That women's relay was weird indeed. Lozza of Switzerland was definitely ahead at the exchange, but 900 meters later the German and Polish girls were half a minute in front of her and she definitely didn't lose an unusually large amount of time after that. "She must have fallen, I guess". But no, the two leaders went into the classic loop instead of the skating loop and Lozza went the right way  

 

That relay really had it all. From failing Norwegian wax (poor girl could almost literally not even get up a climb anymore because her skis simply slipped back) to this.

 

Some show by the US men as well
