Actually skis weren't the problem...she basically blacked out and had to be taken to the medical center (it took us quite a while to find her). She's better now, full of anger for tomorrow at least. 

I hope she’s feeling better today and that tomorrow she can return to compete.

That's absolutely the plan! Four minutes or so going all out. As she told the medic: "Maybe see you tomorrow, because I'm definitely going to give everything..."

Unfortunately, I had a very busy day at work so I wasn't able to follow along on here.

 

In total, we had 22 new basic quotas from the men's qualification race

Wait a sec, Ireland cannot be a new quota because they have a pile of legit World Cup points, surely?

You can only qualify through FIS points earned at U23 championships or world championships so this race is the first time an Irish skiier has met the requirements. Maloney Westgaard should help Ireland secure more quotas through the nations ranking because of his World cup results though.

 

Andorra also doesn't have the men's basic quotas yet but they should get it on Saturday.

She is cursed! Never been in a championship without problems. could be a loss of 3 swedish golds, I had her as the best swedish chance in the sprint, and the relay and team sprint will be weaker now.

 

Also Valnes crashed and miss at least the sprint
