What nonsense is this?  

The Norwegians prefer individual starts 

 

The calendar is actually a bit confusing. The last classic sprint is in Falun in mid-February, then only three skating sprints, can't you add some variety?

 

And then there's the World Cup in Falun in mid-February. One week before the World Championships, where the Swedish national team, the home team, has already announced that the majority of the World Championship starters will be in training camp. Seriously? I can already see that almost none of the World Cup starters will be competing there ...

But even Oslo? The Oslo 50k was basically the number one big event on the annual calendar..

 

As for Falun: I wonder if it will make the field smaller or just 'weaker'. Important for the Olympic qualification..

Few days after Oslo they have the WCh. Two 50km in a week seems a bit extreme
