 National Championships in Beitostolen this weekend - believe that these are going to be the final decisive races for Olympic qualification.  Live on Norwegian TV, probably not geoblocked.

Too bad - thing about the Norwegian Champs is that they are for Norwegian Clubs, not exclusively Norwegian nationals. So foreign athletes do take part - Andy Musgrave was sprint champion one year.

Oh trust me, I know. Heart attack city here today (which we seem to have survived) and tomorrow due to this. Which our fellow Totallympian - in the last week of Olympic qualifying - doesn't yet know and I am very much trying to keep it that way until after tomorrow's race.

Might give that a try tomorrow, thanks!

 

I might also just keep with live-timing only, that is nerve-wracking enough.

 

Spoiler

It also just sucks badly, I really wish they could have taken the two quotas instead of fighting for the remaining one, it would have been awesome for Bruna and Jaqueline to both be there and do things like the Olympic team sprint together
