(that includes Johaug's victories, yes) OTOH, no problems keeping a 2m distance from the other competitors. heywoodu and NearPup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some confusing about exactly what the situation is: Brazilians decided they're not going even if it's possible, which at the moment it's not? Argentinians and Chileans decided to cancel their races? It's South American winter sports, nobody knows what the plan is until after the finish, but probably the races won't happen. Given the situation in Latin America, that's really the last place where international sport will restart. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that'd be obvious, but the Brazilian federation has only yesterday sent out a message that FIS rollerski races in July are cancelled, until then they were still acting under the impression there would be no problem in holding them.

Grassmarket 2,757 Posted May 28, 2020 #14 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hmm, got me to wondering.... ....and in fact I find out that the Visma Ski Classics app is on a free trial till June 30th, which means that we can catch up with last season’s races, none of which I have seen! OK, I grant you sometimes the racing is more like some avant garde art movie with a small group of figures slowly making their way over an all-white landscape for five hours, but at least it is something to watch! https://play.vismaskiclassics.com/visma-ski-classics/signup?returnUrl=%2Fvisma-ski-classics%2Fhome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
