Think the others knew to slow down!  Like an Alpine Downhill training run.  

There are some swallows, but it's still not enough. Cassol has problems with endurance + there are still some illnesses/injuries etc. If not Monsorno, then Franchi or di Centa and so on and so forth. It's hard to build a solid squad when 2/3 of your skiers are still sick with something.

And is in quite some distress at the finish.

What a race to stand behind a group of 20 Swiss and their massive cowbells, holy mother of god my ears

Must be  best day ever in this sport.  Usually a top 50 is a result for them.

For the women this season this isn't actually that big of a surprise

  @brunamoura 23/27 on first leg..beat plenty cold countries.

 

And  finish 23 overall.   the surprise qualifiers on the bubble.

To think Bruna couldn't even warm up, she wasn't allowed onto the course. You need your race bib for that, which the 'coach' of the team hadn't picked up yet (definitely his job), because he was preparing Duda Ribera's....training

run of bad luck in team sprint continues....Andrew Young well

down.

 

Wow  men also on a bad day!

 

Klaebo not taking it easy.  

 

And a miracle bronze for Sweden.  Seemingly a very last-minute line-up change this morning, so another not completely warmed up.
