Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2025

[Swewi 510]

Without the fall I think Sundling would have won, Weng 2nd and Andersson 3rd!

 

but wow what a race!

[Orangehair43 317]

Been some great cross country races. Let’s hope the rest remain competitive and we don’t have too many meals being won by massive distances.
 

The British commentators complained at the end as they felt it should still be 15km.

 

Plus they think Johaug will stay for another year and do the Olympics. Is that likely?

Don't want to be negative, but i slightly hope Johaug doesn't win a gold here, just for dissing the World Cup after Tour de Ski..   And she is one of my favourite skiers..

If you're a commentator and you complained at the end of a race like this, you shouldn't be a commentator...

I remember the older days when Johaug lost almost every finish to Bjorgen and Kowalczyk. She won first in 2011 in Oslo in the 30 km, because Bjoergen and Justyna underestimated her a bit and gave up on her for many seconds.

She (and Ebba) should be very happy that it was the two best sprint finishers among the top-4 (at the moment, Karlsson catched Weng later) who fell, or I am not sure she would have medalled at al.

Going back to earlier times, what do you think Kalla missed to be able to fight in the overall World Cup with the likes of Bjoergen or Kowalczyk? Sometimes it was hard to understand her small consequences throughout the season and in 2008 it seemed that Kalla could be a dominant force for many years, when she won the TDS in just 20 years!

Johaug herself said no. She might still change her opinion of course, but so far she gave no signs in that direction.

Her husband says we shouldnt be too sure about that
