The ladies did well in the Sprint.

25th - Lunder (+1:26)
31st - Moser (+1:50)
38th - Paradis (+2:13)

 


All three not only made the Pursuit, but will be set up well for more solid results there

 

Conditions were kinda snowy and windy, so a bit challenging. But at least the course was in good shape.
 

Was there not a 4th?

Shilo Rousseau was announced to be going, and had strong results at the European Championships… but did not race today

Not so hot a day for the men in the Sprint.

 

Runnals - 47th (+2:27) 

Borglum - 62nd (+2:59)

Pletz - 89th (+4:26)

 

First two didn’t shoot bad, only one miss each, and conditions looked good. Just didn’t have the ski speed
 

As far as Olympic qualifying goes, Kazakhstan didn’t do so hot either, so we only lost 4 points, leaving us down 14 for the all important 20th spot in Nations Cup

Good news, bad news in the men's individual.

The Canadians didn't do great:
Pletz - 65th
Runnals - 66th
Borglum - 73rd

But they did better than KAZ, made 37 more Nations Cup points to put them in 20th (and with a 23 point lead). There are 8 races remaining that will impact that Nations Cup, tomorrows Single Mixed Relay, Saturday's men's relay, and then six more races when the World Cup resumes

Single Mixed Relay went today, Lunder and Runnals doing the honours.

Finished 18th. So, not great. Shooting was ok, but ski speed struggled a bit, Lunder seemed to struggle as the race progressed. Waxes have been a challenge for a lot of teams.

Good news is they beat KAZ, and netted another 30 points in that battle to qualify a men's team for 2026. As it stands now, Canada sits 20th, with a 53 point cushion

Well, the women's relay got lapped. That was disappointing.

 

Men's relay somehow didn't get lapped and finished in 17th while Kazakhstan finished in last and got lapped so that's good news

For the women, Paradis had a decent opening leg. Rousseau got ate up a bit on the second. Moser had a bit of a nightmare standing shoot and that was the end of their day. Interesting they back loaded the women's team like that. Maybe looking to give Lunder a little extra rest in case she gets into the mass start? France utterly crushed everyone

For the men, Kazakhstan started the race with 3 penalty laps on the first shoot. Tough to come back from that, finished 23rd. Pletz has a decent opening leg, though it helped the field took it easy the first two laps. Runnalls struggled a bit, and Connelly really really struggled skiing, and Borglum just barely managed to not get lapped (could see him in the foreground of one shot of JT Boe hamming it up on his victory lap).

Adds another 60 points to Canada's Nations Cup lead on Kazakhstan, which now stands at 113. Points still at play in 6 races.

    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy

    • Yeah, there's certainly things to complain about from an athletes' perspective, but snow should really not be much of an issue indeed. Mostly things like the enormous geographical spread and it's consequences like there not being one big opening ceremony and everything being spread around a bunch of small Olympic 'villages'/accomodations - so not really the Olympic feeling and atmosphere for the athletes since they'll mostly just stay around athletes of their own sport as in any regular competition.   We'll be going very near to the Olympic area in a few weeks (Coppa Italia in Falcade), let's see what things look like by then.
    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory
