She is the Swedish lady with most WC wins in cross country, she was the sprint Queen and Olympic Champion and also one time biathlon world cup podium-finisher. Now it looks like the ski speed that she most often didnt find in biathlon is back. Stina Nilsson won the most traditional of cross country races, the 90 km long Vasaloppet by over 5 minutes!

 

And 18 year old Alvar Myhlback, world junior champion last year but this year not selected to the team, becomes the youngest man to win in the 101 years history of the race.

What are the nations cup qualifing standings now? The deadline for nations cup standings is end of march this year, so there are not so many occasions to make points for small nations.

Yes, then you have a position and with that, points.

@Topicmaster1010 Any idea what happened today? There were no races in Trondheim today, but the ranking changed drastically. Earlier this morning, the part I'm most interested in looked like this:

And now it's like this:

Changes

Latvia: +60
Andorra: +110
Chinese Taipei: +58
South Korea: +232
Hungary: +138
China: +114
Armenia: +62
Great Britain: -
Croatia: -
Argentina: -
Greece: -
Lithuania: -
Mongolia: +66
Romania: -
Brazil: -

 

 

But where do these come from? There was nothing today, and even if there was, it's not like Korea gained 200+ points in one race..

 

[heywoodu 16,435]

Ah, cleared it up...they counted the start numbers for tomorrow as results already. Korean girl starts 2nd, so that's why Korea has so many more points. Mongolian starts 35th, which corresponds with 66 points. I assume they will correct that tomorrow when the actual results are there
